Rakta Dhatu is base of living body; it maintains life, so one should knows the importance of Rakta Dhatu by proper diet that gives nutrition to Rakta. There will be no existence of the body without Kapha, Pitta, Vata and even Rakta as per susruta. He described that Rakta Dhatu is extremely important for sustenance of life. It is therefore needed to protect this Dhatu by every possible measure. As Vata-Pitta-Kapha are responsible for the creation of living body, fourth entity named Rakta is also responsible for the existence, support and maintenance of body. He told that Rakta itself is life. Malnutrition and improper diet cause decrease in Rakta Dhatu. Rakta Kshaya produces roughness of skin, craving or desire for sour and cold things, looseness of the veins (emptiness of blood vessels) and Vata prakopa.
