Why is it important?
There are several Kaya Chikitsa (General Medicine) diseases where surgical interventions are explained by Charaka. In the present article Sushruta’s view regarding Rakta Mokshana (Bloodletting) in few Kaya Chikitsa diseases are highlighted on the context of Shat Kriya Kala (Pathogenesis). If the Rakta Mokshana is done on regular basis it will help to remove the vitiated (humors) doshas along with it and thus may helpful to prevent some of the diseases. The concept of Rakta-Mokshana could be understood if we look the concept of Shat Kriya Kaala (Pathogenesis in disease formation) where Sushruta has given importance to (Blood) Rakta as one of the important channel in transportation of Doshas (humors) besides Vata Dosha. A person accustomed to Bloodletting enjoys a kind of immunity from skin diseases, Granthi (Cyst), Shopha, (swelling) and diseases caused by vitiated blood.
