Abstract :

In Āyurveda, Rakta is considered as an important component i.e. ‘Mūla’ of the body. In living beings, the strength, complexion, happiness and longevity is due to Śuddha Rakta. When this Śuddha Rakta becomes vitiated due to duṣita doṣas alongwith collection of toxins in the Rakta, it is termed as Duṣṭa Rakta. The Duṣṭa Rakta produces many diseases which come under the Rakta Pradoṣaja Vikāras. About 38 diseases are mentioned under the Rakta Pradoṣaja Vikāras, in different classics. An attempt has been made to study the aetiopathogenesis of some random diseases which comes under the Rakta Pradoṣaja Vikāras and to find the common nidānas which are most commonly responsible for the causation of these diseases. For this purpose, a study has been made in 200 patients suffering from diseases which come under Rakta Pradoṣaja Vikāras. 200 patients were randomly selected from OPD, IPD of Govt. Ayurvedic College and Hospital, Ghy. Proper history was taken in specialized proforma, to evaluate the most common Nidānas From the study, it was found that most of the nidānas were Pitta–Kapha Prakopa Āhāra–Vihāra. In the study the different types of Nidanas are categorized and summarized, which will help to prevent these Rakta Pradoṣaja Vikāras, when proper Nidān Parivarjana is done.
