A Conceptual Study on Rasa-Rakta Samvahana and the Role of Tridoshas in Cardiovascular Physiology

Author(s) Dr. Kapil Shrivastava, Dr. Manu Sharma
Country India
Abstract Cardiovascular physiology depends on the coordinated regulation of blood circulation, tissue perfusion, metabolism, and vascular integrity. Ayurveda explains these functions through the concept of Rasa-Rakta Samvahana, which is governed by the integrated actions of the Tridoshas. Among them, Vyana Vata governs the movement and circulation of Rasa and Rakta, Ranjaka Pitta is responsible for the formation and functional competence of Rakta, Sadhaka Pitta regulates neurocardiac and psychophysiological functions, and Avalambaka Kapha provides structural support and stability to the Hridaya. This review critically examines the classical Ayurvedic concept of Rasa-Rakta Samvahana and correlates it with current knowledge of cardiovascular physiology. Classical Ayurvedic literature, including the Charaka Samhita, Sushruta Samhita, Ashtanga Hridaya, and Bhela Samhita, was reviewed along with contemporary scientific literature on cardiac physiology, vascular function, autonomic regulation, and tissue perfusion. The review identified significant functional similarities between Ayurvedic principles and modern cardiovascular mechanisms, including cardiac pumping, blood circulation, vascular regulation, myocardial metabolism, and neurocardiac integration. Although the Tridoshas cannot be directly equated with specific anatomical structures or physiological systems, they collectively represent a comprehensive functional framework for maintaining cardiovascular homeostasis. This integrative perspective highlights the contemporary relevance of Ayurvedic physiology and provides a conceptual basis for future interdisciplinary research in cardiovascular science and integrative medicine.
