ABSTRACT

The main aim of this Ayurvedic medical science is to protect the human beings from various diseases following by rules and regulations of swasthavritta and to have disease free human being to form healthy society. Disease is nothing but, life under altered conditions. These altered conditions in fact manifest themselves through agency of Doshas, Dhatus and Malas in the body. The priority is given to these factors. If they are balanced, the body remains in balanced condition or ‘swastha’. If the Doshas are vitiated, then they create any unhealthy condition in the body. The concept of Panduroga is not new for Ayurveda. It is clearly stated that Pittapradhan Vatadi Doshas are the main causes to produce Panduroga. According to similarities in the symptoms we can compare Panduroga with anaemia as described by modern science. Though there has been immense research for cure of this disease in various systems of medicine, this disease still remains a challenge to the medical world. The third national family health survey (NFHS-3) estimates suggest that 56% of women and 70% of children in India have anaemia. In modern medicinal science, there is also good treatment for anaemia with considerable result but that is only for acute deficiency Anaemia’s. No significant therapy is there for chronic anaemia which occurs due to metabolic defects. In modern medicine, various form of iron viz, ferrous sulphate, ferrous fumarate, i.v. iron sucrose etc. are commonly used, but these therapies have their noted adverse effects e.g. nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhoea or constipation etc. Ayurveda can provide better management for this. So, I have planned to study the efficacy of Yashtimadhu churna with Madhu in ‘Panduroga’(anaemia). Yashtimadhu Churna with Madhu will be given orally to the patient. Other details will be described in full paper.
