The science of Ayurveda is supported by means of strong principles. One among those pillar principles on which the entire science is buttressed is the concept and principle of srotas (channels of circulation). The entire human body is nothing but a network of srotas (channels of circulation). The concept of swasthya in a human can be enabled only if these channels function in its natural manner. Any vitiation to their natural environment can result in a diseased condition. Rakthavahasrotas (channels of blood circulation) holds an uncanny position among the antarmukha srotas. Being the carrier of the elixir of life, its relevance is unbeatable. Any vitiation to the raktha dhatu (blood) it carries, can in turn result in the vitiation of the srotas (channels of circulation) and can trigger the origin of diseases in the areas they circulate. It is necessary to understand the entire physiology and pathology involved in the rakthavahasrotas (channels of blood circulation) and its vitiation, only then can a proper therapeutic approach to rectify it be made.
