Introduction:

Rakta dhanush visited by pitta dosha has been termed as rakta pitta.Excessive indulgence in grief,fright or anger,excessive physical labour,exposure to sun and fire,constant use of pungent,acidic,saline and alkaline food or articles of food which are heat making in potency or incompatible in combination or followed by deficient gastric or intestinal digestion are the factors which tend to aggravate the pitta.

The aggravated pitta thus imperfectly assimilated affects or in virtue of its own essence the blood which finds an outlet through the upper or lower channels of body or through both. The deranged blood accumulated in both amashaya and Pakvashaya. The disease raktapitta can be correlated with disseminated intravascular coagulation and haemorrhage owing to similarities in clinical manifestation.
