Raktapitta (Sanskrit: रक्तपित्त) is a Sanskrit term in Ayurveda
Raktapitta (Sanskrit: रक्तपित्त) is a Sanskrit term in Ayurveda that refers to a condition characterized by bleeding or hemorrhage, often due to an imbalance of the Pitta dosha (fire and water elements).
Raktapitta is associated with symptoms such as:
- Bleeding from various body parts (e.g., nose, mouth, rectum, uterus)
- Excessive menstruation or irregular periods
- Hemorrhoids or bleeding piles
- Blood in stool or urine
- Anemia or weakness
Ayurvedic practitioners treat Raktapitta through:
- Dietary modifications (e.g., avoiding spicy, sour, and hot foods)
- Herbal remedies (e.g., Manjishtha, Guduchi, and Turmeric)
- Yoga and exercise (e.g., calming postures, breathing exercises)
- Stress reduction techniques (e.g., meditation, deep breathing)
- Panchakarma procedures (e.g., bloodletting, purgation)
By addressing the underlying imbalance and promoting healthy blood tissue (Rakta dhatu), Ayurveda aims to alleviate symptoms and prevent complications.
Note: Raktapitta is a serious condition that requires prompt medical attention. If you experience any symptoms, consult a qualified Ayurvedic practitioner or healthcare professional.
