− | There are two routes of the manifestation of ''raktapitta'' - upwards and downwards. In persons having an abundance of ''kapha'', vitiated ''rakta'' goes up and bleeding occurs from ear, nose, eyes and mouth. In those having an excess of ''vata, rakta'' flows downwards along with ''vata'' and patients bleed through the urinary tract and rectum. Finally, in those having abundance of both ''kapha'' and ''vata'', ''rakta'' comes out from the body with both the routes and thus bleeds through all the aforesaid orifices.
