Abstract
There are seven Dhatu in our ayurvedic classic like Rasa, Rakta, Mamsa, Meda, Asthi, Majja, Sukra. Raktadhatu is the second Dhatu. Teja & Jala Mahabhuta is predominant in Rakta Dhatu. The importance of Rakta is as equal as Tridosha for maintenance of the body. Rakta dhatu give Prana to every Dhatu. The air inhaled during the process of inspiration becomes the vital Prana for the human body. Rakta dhatu is the base of a living body which maintains life. It is considered as one among the Pranayatana
