Abstract

As a Saiddhantika Shastra, Ayurveda accepts each theory or principle only after several scientific examinations through Pramana. In This context of the process of Rakta Skandana and Askandana, Panchavayava vakya has been utilised as a part of Anumana Pramana in proving the Process of Rakta Skandana (Blood coagulation). Acharya Sushruta mentioned four Rakta Skandana Upayas to stop excessive bleeding therapeutically. Physiologically, Rakta Skandana will occur through the same sequence of four steps, such as Dahana, Pachana, Skandana and Sadhana. This is proposed with one Drushtanta of the formation of a creamy layer over the surface of milk (Ksheerat santanikavat iva). As Rakta is a vital component, achieving Jeevana or Pranadharana is karma through several properties, among which the process of Skandana and Askandana is one. Therefore, the present work attempts to do the same, which will help us understand the concept and process of Rakta Skandana and Askandana.
