Background: Ayurveda, as an ancient science of life, prioritises the maintenance of a healthy baseline state over mere disease management. This structural and functional health is governed by the Srotas (channel) system, which is highly prone to losing its metabolic integrity due to an erratic lifestyle and faulty dietary habits. Within this framework, the Raktavaha Srotas is responsible for transporting blood cells and haemoglobin to fulfil the vital functional role of Jeevana (the absolute sustenance of life).

Aim & Objective: This conceptual review aims to explore the traditional literary perspectives of Raktavaha Srotas, analyse the contemporary physiological principles of erythropoiesis, and harmonise the two domains by evaluating the specific logistical and regulatory actions of the Yakrut (liver) and Pleeha (spleen).

Methodology: The research follows a conceptual review methodology, collecting and synthesizing classical textual references from the Charaka Samhita, Sushruta Samhita, and Ashtanga Hridaya, alongside scientific clinical insights from standard modern textbooks of medical physiology and haematology.

Results & Discussion: Ayurveda evaluates blood formation not as an isolated localized event within the bones, but as a sequential, multi-stage metabolic transformation moving from Ahara Rasa to Rasa Dhatu and ultimately to Rakta Dhatu, heavily driven by Jatharagni, Ranjaka Pitta, and Raktadhatvagni. While modern medicine isolates standard adult erythropoiesis structurally to the bone marrow, embryology confirms that during the critical fetal hepatic stage of development, the liver and spleen function as the primary biological factories for blood formation. In adulthood, these organs transition into an indispensable regulatory supply chain; the liver executes Ranjana Karma (coloration) by functioning as a warehouse storing iron, Vitamin B12, and folic acid, synthesizing transferrin, and secreting erythropoietin. Concurrently, the spleen provides crucial quality control and architectural refinement through cellular culling, iron recycling, and pitting. This physiological relationship is pathologically validated, as severe blood channel vitiation mirrors modern hemolytic states that manifest as Pleeha Vriddhi (splenomegaly). Conclusion: The classical designation of the liver and spleen as the Moolasthanas (roots) of the Raktavaha Srotas represents an advanced, holistic systems-biology model. It accurately captures the lifelong logistical, regulatory, and quality control architecture necessary to produce and sustain healthy blood tissue
