Abstract

ROLE OF RAKTABASTI IN PANDU (MYCROCYTIC HYPOCROMIC ANEMIA)

Dr. Abhijit Dinkarrao Shekhar*

ABSTRACT

A prominent diagnostic feature of Pandu roga[1] is the pallor on the skin which occurs due to the quantitative and qualitative deficiency of raktu dhatu (~blood tissue) caused either in the form of deficiency of hemoglobin and/ or red blood cells (RBCs). Considering Panduta (pallor) as the predominant sign, the disease is termed as Pandu roga. The nearest correlation of iron deficiency anemia (IDA) can be made with Pandu roga, because of the predominance of Panduta or pallor in the whole body. Iron deficiency is a very common nutritional disorder worldwide and is known to affect approximately one third of the global population. While its incidence in affluent countries is low, the incidence of IDA in India is very high. According to National Family Health Survey (NFHS) III data, the incidence of anemia in urban children is 71%, rural is 84%, and overall is 79%. Nutritional iron deficiency is the most common cause of anemia in India. IDA is a very common disease prevalent in the society and side effects of oral allopathic iron preparations are very frequently encountered. With the aim that herbal and aja rakta may be effective to manage IDA without any side effects, the present study was carried out to study the efficacy of and darbha[1] and aja rakta[1] with the application of modern parameters.
