ABSTRACT
Global health faces significant challenges today, with the fast-paced modern lifestyle leading to increased stress and dietary habits that favour convenience over nutrition. This shift has resulted in the rise of diet-related and stress-induced disorders. According to Ayurveda, many of these issues stem from improper diet and lifestyle choices, leading to Agni dushti and subsequent digestive disorders. Pandu, a disease of Rasavaha srotasa, can be linked to anaemia (Rakta alpata), a pressing global health concern. While modern medicine offers various treatments for anaemia, many of these cause gastrointestinal side effects, often exacerbating the patient's condition. Additionally, poor digestion hinders the absorption of nutrients, contributing to nutritional deficiencies despite supplementation. In response, there is a growing need for natural, effective treatments. The current study aims to explore the role of Agni and the Upshayatmaka (therapeutic) effect of Darvyadi Lauha in managing Pandu Roga, as disturbed Agni is a key factor in many diseases.
