	In the previous chapters of ''Yojana Chatushka'' (tetrad on management protocol), procedures for the management of disorders caused due to vitiation of three [[dosha]] were described. In continuation, the present chapter describes the management principles of disorders due to shonita (blood) vitiation. Formation of pure blood is very important for survival because blood is vital for sustaining life [1,2]. Origin, development, and survival of the body depend on blood [3]. Various etiological factors for vitiation of [[rakta]] have been explained in this chapter. Vitiated [[rakta]] causes various diseases e.g. stomatitis, redness in the eye, etc. If cold (or hot) and rough (or unctuous) dravyas are used for treatment without response, raktaja vikara(blood disorder) should be the reason. The line of treatment for ''raktaja vikara'' constitutes courses of treatment for ''raktapitta'' (i.e., prescribed for cases of vitiated ''pitta'' such as purgation and fasting, along with bloodletting). The physical appearance of pure blood has been described to be of golden colors, like red lotus, firefly, ''lakh'' (''laksha''), the fruit of ''gunja'' (Abrus precatorius Linn.). Any deviation from these could be explained to be due to ''vikaras'' or disorders. Some of the prominent blood-related disorders such as ''mada'' (intoxication), ''murchcha'' (syncope) and ''sanyasa'' (coma) have therefore been described in this chapter. Their etiopathogenesis, types, symptoms and grades of severity - in this sequence - have been explained, along with some suggested courses of treatment. In the case of ''mada'' and ''murchcha'', purificatory measures ([[Panchakarma]]) have been suggested, while for ''sanyasa'', an emergency treatment (''~~attyaika~~ chikitsa'') should be followed.

	<p style="text-align:justify;">Blood is important for maintaining vitality of individuals. It is also the most important factor in patho-physiology of any disease as it carries vitiated [[dosha] leading to disease. This chapter focuses on [[rakta dhatu]] (blood tissue), delineating the characteristic features of pure blood as well as the factors influencing the formation of blood. Pure blood (Shuddha rakta) is formed by following proper dietary habits. Therefore, characteristics of pure blood, the causative factors for vitiation of blood, [[dosha]] specific features of vitiated blood, their treatment and procedure of bloodletting are described in this chapter. Since blood plays an important role in the treatment of cerebrovascular diseases, a description of ailments such as mada (intoxication/confusion), murchha (syncope), and sanyasa (coma), their pathology and courses of treatment, and mind’s role in the pathogenesis of some of these diseases have also been provided. </br>		<p style="text-align:justify;">Blood is important for maintaining vitality of individuals.

	A research work was conducted to study effect of seasonal variations on clinical features of blood vitiation described in this chapter. The research also included observations on hematological parameters. The study concluded that significant increase in clinical features of blood vitiation was observed in autumn season (sharad ritu) as compared to rainy season (varsha ritu) and early winters (hemant ritu). Mild seasonal variations were observed in hematological parameters like total red blood cells, white blood cell count, erythrocyte sedimentation rate, absolute eosinophil count, serum cholesterol. A large sample study is required to derive a concrete conclusion.

	Advanced medical technology has enhanced the understanding of microscopic nature of blood tissue, its components and all physical characteristics. The features described in [[Ayurveda]] text describe macroscopic changes related to affecting [[dosha]]. However, there is much scope of research in bridging the gaps between concepts of these two biomedical sciences.

	A 43 year old male patient suffered from skull and facial bones fractures due to road traffic accident 10 years ago. He suffered from epilepsy and was taking treatment. The patient reported history of excess mental stress, excess fasting, anorexia and anger. He suffered from convulsions and became unconscious due to intracerebral hemorrhage of 7.9 x 5.6 cm size in right temporo-parietal region. The patient was treated with Ayurvedic medicines like Sindura bhushana mixed with Haridra ghana every four hourly applied on gums. Medicated water processed with gold (Suvarna siddha jala) and green gram soup was given to patient through Ryle’s tube. Jaymangal rasa and Guduchi ghana was added to treat fever. The fever subsided in one day and subsequently the patient started maintaining oxygen levels. The life support system was taken off. The orientation and consciousness improved significantly in a week of treatment. Arpisa rasayana, Jaymangal rasa, vara, and raktapachaka medicines were continued for next two weeks, till complete recovery of the patient. Significant clinical improvement in neurological functions were observed in this patient.<ref name=UpendraD/>		A 43 year old male patient suffered from skull and facial bones fractures due to road traffic accident 10 years ago.
