Conceptual study of Hematopoiesis (Raktotpatti)
Journal Title: International Journal of Ayurveda and Pharmaceutical Chemistry - Year 2018, Vol 0, Issue 0
Abstract
Ayurveda is an ancient and broad source of fundamental principles related to medical science. Many more principles of modern science are influenced by Ayurveda. Sushrut Samhita is one of the oldest treatises in the world dealing with surgery while Charak samhita deals in medicine. In Ayurveda, the process of formation of Raktadhatu was explained many years ago. Modern science has given almost same concept but hematopoietic organs are described differently in foetal life and after birth. Acharya Sushrut says that Raktadhatu (blood) itself is a jeev (life) because loss of blood mostly leads to death. The blood plays a very important role in our body. All the nutritional elements reach entire parts in the body through blood and keeping us at an abeyance from diseases. So, it is important to know the concept of the formation of the Raktadhatu in Ayurveda as well as the concept of hematopoiesis in modern science in parallel. While diagnosis and making prognosis of any Raktaj vyadhi, one can perform some RBCs related investigations may prove very helpful. Therefore, the study of these two concepts is very essential.
