Rakta is nourished by fluids, rest, and moisture. It correlates closely with the TCM concept of Yin. Out of this cool, moist, womb-like stillness, the rest of us is created. The backing of Yin is required to anchor and balance the outward expansion of Yang. This is the paradox.
Here are some ideas to nourish and support your Yin / Rakta Dhatu. Nourish your Yin, nourish your whole body, and nourish your whole life.
