In the cases of mada and murchha, patients should be subjected to five (evacuative) measures, after proper oleation and fomentation, according to the dosha and strength of the person and the disease. Likewise, the administration of paniya-kalyana ghrita, tiktashatpala ghrita or mahatikta ghrita is recommended. The use of triphala with ghrita, honey and sugar, shilajatu, milk, pippali (Piper longum) or chitraka (Plumbago zeylanica Linn.) with milk, rasayana, and kaumbha (ten year old) ghrita are also beneficial.

=== ''Tattva Vimarsha'' ===
Formation of pure blood depends upon the place, time, diet, and lifestyle. [3]

Pureblood is one of ten vital components of the body. [4]
+
*Formation of pure blood depends upon the place, time, diet, and lifestyle. [3]
Katu,(pungent) amla (sour), lavana (salty), ushna (hot) foods, excessive anger, excessive food, exposure to sun & fire, trauma and autumn season are main causes of raktaja vikara. All diet and lifestyle factors responsible for pitta vitiation can cause vitiation of blood. [5-10]

*Pureblood is one of ten vital components of the body. [4]
Treatment of blood vitiation disorders is like rakta- pitta with purgation, fasting, and bloodletting. [18]

*''Katu'',(pungent) ''amla'' (sour), ''lavana'' (salty), ''ushna'' (hot) foods, excessive anger, excessive food, exposure to sun & fire, trauma and autumn season are main causes of ''raktaja vikara''. All diet and lifestyle factors responsible for ''pitta'' vitiation can cause vitiation of blood. [5-10]
The extent of bloodletting is decided according to the severity of the disease, location of the disease, and strength of the patient.[19]

• vata and pitta increase bleeding and delay blood-clotting while kapha does the opposite.[20-21]

*Treatment of blood vitiation disorders is like ''raktapitta'' with purgation, fasting, and bloodletting. [18]
A person should take digestion-enhancing diet consisting of shali (red rice), moong (green gram), etc. to strengthen digestive power after bloodletting. [23]
+
*The extent of bloodletting is decided according to the severity of the disease, location of the disease, and strength of the patient.[19]
Mada, murchcha, and sanyasa are caused due to vitiated doshas as well as rajas and tamas, which impair and obstruct rasavaha, raktavaha, and sangyavahi srotas and are responsible for various states of consciousness. Altered sensorium and consciousness are caused by consumption of contaminated diet and conduct. Mind and body are equally involved in the pathology of intoxication, syncope, and coma. [25-29]
+
*''Vata'' and ''pitta'' increase bleeding and delay blood-clotting while ''kapha'' does the opposite.[20-21]
Mada and madatyaya are clinically interchangeable. All types of narcosis and intoxication are caused by the vitiation of the three doshas.[34]

*A person should take digestion-enhancing diet consisting of ''shali'' (red rice), ''moong'' (green gram), etc. to strengthen digestive power after bloodletting. [23]
• Murchha is a transient loss of consciousness with prodromal visual hallucinations specific to vata, pitta, and kapha. [35-41]

Mada and murchha are mostly self-limiting conditions in which spontaneous recovery occurs most of the time. Sanyasa requires intensive care management. [42-53]

=== ''Vidhi  Vimarsha'' ===

  Vidhi  vimarsha:
   
A person who is following a regimen or conduct suitable to a location (desha-satmya), time (kala-satmya), and habit or lifestyle (oka-satmya), when he takes food according to aahara vidhi visheshayatana (as described in the first chapter of Charaka Vimana section[3]) - food having six rasaja, taken at proper time, proper place, in proper quantity, and that which is wholesome in nature, will have pure (or healthy) blood. Pure blood formed after proper digestion of food is full of nutritional values necessary for life. Formation of pure blood takes place due to extrinsic and intrinsic factors. Extrinsic factors are obtained from dietary sources. On the other hand, intrinsic factors are generated inside the body, such as Ranjaka pitta and majjagata substances (bone marrow). The importance of pure blood is described in Sushruta Sutra [4]15/7 and Charaka Chikitsa [5] 15/28.[3]

Pure-blood is the basis of life as it nourishes dasha pranayatna (ten important “life areas” of the body: two temples, heart, head, bladder, throat, blood, semen, ojas and rectum [6], (Ch. Sha. 7/9) [7]. Rakta increases the physical strength, complexion, immunity, and vitality of life (Su.Su. 15/7) [8]. [4]

Metabolic acidosis and alkalosis should be considered to gain an understanding of raktaja vikara. Electrolyte imbalances should be evaluated for the keen diagnosis of mada, murchha, and sanyasa. [59-60]
