''Raktapitta'' is a treatable bleeding disorder, if recognized and managed in early stage. If diagnosis is missed and disease is not managed properly, it becomes life threatening (''mahagada'').It occurs because of excessive aggravation of ''pitta'' and its affliction with ''rakta''. Before initiation of treatment, it is important to assess strength of the patient because the treatment regimen is personified for well nourished and emaciated persons. Etiology, classification, prognosis and treatment of ''raktapitta'' have been described in detail. A good number of herbal and animal preparations are given. Further, this chapter enumerates aspects that are favorable or unfavorable to ''raktapitta''. To improve the efficacy of treatment, external beneficial measures, such as ''pradeha, parisheka, sheetasnana'' and habitat are described at the end of chapter.This bleeding disorder is not described in modern medicine writings and appears to be unknown to allopathic medicine.

''Raktapitta'' is a serious disease caused due to vitiation of ''rakta'' by aggravated ''pitta''. This chapter is placed after ''jwara'', because ''raktapitta'' can occur due to the increased heat in the body produced after ''jwara''. Prompt management is necessary for this dreadful disease. This disease develops due to ''pitta'' aggravation as a result of consumption of ''ushna, teekshna, agneya dravya'' and excessive exposure to sunlight.
