AYURVEDIC FORMULATIONS THAT STOP BLEEDING

What do you understand by the term bleeding disorders? Do they sound complicated?

With respect to modern science and its developments, bleeding disorders are those that arise from deficiency in any of the cascade of clotting factors that facilitate timely clotting of blood, resulting in improper clotting of the blood and thus continuous outflow of blood. They may include common complaints in deficiency of vitamin k to drastic areas of Hemophilia.

According to Ayurveda, Rakta Pitta or excessive bleeding diseases belong to a very important category of diseases, which arise due to the simultaneous aggravation in the Pitta and Rakta entity. The aetiology for this condition makes an appearance as excessive consumption of alkaline, pungent, sour, salty food substances including excessive radish, garlic and all other by which the Pitta entity gets escalated. Here Pitta is one among the three humours of the body while Rakta is the tissue blood element.

The actual pathogenesis of this disease is a little complicated. For this disease is understood as the complication of Jwara or fever. The uncontrolled heat generated during a Jwara, vitiates the Pita entity which also is flaming by nature. The similarities in the properties creates a surge in pitta which further breakdown other corresponding tissue elements and expands their quantity without quality improvement. This abundant quality of pitta that resembles Rakta finds its route through all other openings of the body. Thus forming the disease RaktaPitta.

Dosage- 2 tsp twice a day with plain water after meals.

4. Sphatik Bhasma

Spatika or commonly called Alum, a silicon aluminium compound widely used in many textile industries. Alum has cold potency with astringent flavour and the same metabolic end effect.

Dosage- 125 mg once a day with plain water after meals.

9. Nagakesara

The flower of Mesua ferrea is one among Chaturejatha, the four spice contentments.

It helps to relieve pain and inflammation and provide symptomatic relief in all bleeding disorders.

10. Lodra

Symplocos racemosa is abundantly used in Ayurveda for it belongs to Sonitha Parsadaan or those drugs that stop bleeding.
