In Ayurveda there is no direct resemble term for arterial thrombosis but the term ‘Dhamani - Pratichaya’ (Arterial thrombosis) describe under KaphajaNanatmaja-Vikara can be correlated with arterial thrombosis.3 According to Ayurveda arterial thrombosis is the Rakta-Dhatu-Dustijanya (vitiated blood) disease, Raktamokshan (Blood-letting) is ancient and important Para surgical procedure for the treatment of Rakta-Dustijanya diseses (vitiated blood).
