AYURVEDIC CORRELATION OF BERNARD SOULIER SYNDROME
As per ayurveda we can correlate this ailment with “rakta pitta”. As rakta (blood) got vitiated due to elevated pitta dosha, as pitta has its main seat in rakta dhatu, so if pitta got aggravated due to any etiological cause it will ultimately affect the normal functioning of blood (rakta dhatu).

- Triyak raktapitta– in this type there is a haemorrhage from different parts of the body such as in the limbs. In this there is an elevation of vata-kapha doshas.
