Raktapitta Samprapti

Question

For the past few months, I’ve been facing repeated episodes of nosebleeds, occasional blood in stools, and frequent heat flashes in my body. Initially, I thought it was just due to the summer heat or dehydration, but after a consultation with my Ayurvedic doctor, I was told that it’s due to Raktapitta Samprapti. The doctor explained that this happens when Pitta dosha (fire element) in the body becomes aggravated and affects the blood (Rakta), leading to excessive heat and bleeding disorders.

I’ve been researching Raktapitta Samprapti, and it seems to be a condition where both diet and lifestyle play a huge role. Excessive spicy, oily, and salty food, along with stress, can worsen this imbalance. The treatment for Raktapitta Samprapti seems to focus on cooling the body, balancing Pitta, and purifying the blood through herbal formulations and therapies.

My doctor has suggested herbs like Amalaki, Shatavari, and Guduchi along with therapies such as Sita Kashaya (cooling decoctions) and medicated ghees like Durvadi Ghrita or Mahatiktaka Ghrita. But what I want to know is: how long does it take to bring Raktapitta Samprapti under control? Has anyone here experienced something similar? Did Ayurvedic treatment help in completely curing the bleeding?

Another issue I’m facing is severe fatigue after every episode of bleeding. I’m worried that this condition is affecting my overall energy and immunity. My doctor mentioned that regular consumption of cooling foods like coconut water, barley, and aloe vera juice can help in managing Raktapitta Samprapti. But is it really enough, or do I need to take herbal formulations for a longer period?

If anyone has gone through treatment for Raktapitta Samprapti, I’d appreciate it if you could share your journey. How effective were the cooling therapies, herbs, and dietary changes? Did it take weeks, months, or longer to get relief? I really want to know if this condition can be managed naturally without any relapses in the future.
