TREATMENT OF PITTAJA PANDU THROUGH AYURVEDA: A CASE STUDY

Pandu Roga described in Ayurveda closely resembles anemia described in modern medicine. It is characterized by pallor of skin, weakness, fatigue, and reduced vitality. Among the different types, Pittaja Pandu is mainly caused by the aggravation of Pitta Dosha leading to vitiation of Rakta Dhatu and impairment of normal metabolism. Ayurveda emphasizes correction of Agni, pacification of vitiated Doshas, and nourishment of Dhatus through herbal formulations and dietary regulation. The present case study evaluates the efficacy of Ayurvedic management in a patient suffering from Pittaja Pandu. The patient was treated with classical Ayurvedic formulations along with dietary and lifestyle modifications. Significant improvement was observed in clinical symptoms and hematological parameters after treatment. This case study highlights the potential role of Ayurvedic therapeutics in the management of Pittaja Pandu.
