Abstract
Internal respiration is gaseous substitute among the blood and the tissue of the body. With the help of cardiovascular system the inhaled O2 rich blood is transported to the tissues of body. So blood is central and familiar arbitrator to sustenance of all dhatus through respiratory and cardiovascular System. The adjustments to increased metabolic rate or to hypoxia are achieved by increasing conductances1 . So these adjustments consists both augmented and decrease local blood flow and in upgrading of diffusion conditions means enlargements and recruitment of capillaries. So blood is transport medium of gases exchange at tissue level. The exact phenomenon of this exchange model stated in Ayurveda in the form of Raktdhatu and its functions as ‘Prano Shonitam Anuvartate’ i.e. Prana Vayu follows Raktadhatu to foster tissues of whole body2 . Age of person depends upon age of capillary. Rakta dhatu is important for oxygenation and deoxygenating of blood as inspired air is travelled through blood to the capillaries and expired CO2 also travelled through blood vessels up to heart and lungs. Functions of Rakta dhatu- are as nutrition, oxygen supply to tissues. By depletion of tissue due to bleeding, the fire (digestive power) becomes weak and vata becomes aggravated. Decrease of blood produces roughness of skin, desire for sour and cold things looseness of the veins etc. So in this changing life style it is essential thing to rule out or understand to prevent premature ageing. So, this attempt is to see the role of Rakta dhatu in tissue level respiration and premature aging.
