Abstract

Pandu roga is one of the diseases mentioned in Ayurveda characterized by the whitish discolouration of the skin due to the loss of blood. The disease is comparable with Anaemia in the modern medical literature. The incidence of the problem is high in school going children, adolescents and pregnant women. So to find a cost effective remedy for the management of anaemia, Kayyonyadi churna is taken for the study which contains most of the commonly available plants and Mandura bhasma. Both of them act to reduce the Anaemia by virtue of their properties and acts as a supplement of Iron. An open end clinical trial was taken up for the study on 30 patients and 1-2 gms of the churna is given twice daily along with Takra for 30 days. It was observed from the study that the drug showed marked reduction in the clinical symptoms (p value <0.0001) and improvement in the Hb% (p value <0.0001).
