Acharya Sushruta says, it is extremely important for the sustenance of life- “Raktam Jeeva Iti Sthithi”. It is therefore needed to protect this Dhatu by every possible measure. As three Doshas govern the living body, Rakta Dhatu also usually participates in governing the body. In literatures of Ayurveda, acharyas have given importance to Rakta Dhatu as parallel body entity with Dosha. They say body consists of three Doshas: Vata, Pitta, and Kapha. The commentators of these literatures explain why Rakta, among all other Dhatus, has been given so much importance of Dosha. By this literary study a conclusion is drawn that, Rakta is primarily a Dhatu and it has been given the noun (Sadnya) ‘Dosha’ because of its importance similar to Doshas in the body.
