ABSTRACT
Pandu Roga can be correlated with anaemia in modern science. In Ayurveda, it is the Vyadhi of Rasavaha Srotas. The clinical features of Pandu Roga are: - Panduta (paleness of skin and mucosa), Karnakshweda (tinnitus), Hataanala (loss of appetite), Shwasa (breathlessness), Bhrama (vertigo), Gatra Shoola (bodyache), and Hriddrava (palpitations). Among various types of anaemia, Iron deficiency anaemia is commonly seen in children and females and at the same time when there is low serum ferritin in the body. It is a major public health problem worldwide with estimation of 1 billion people being iron deficient. Ayurveda is the science of life which not only cures but eradicates the root cause of the disease from the body. Thus, a case of Pandu (Iron deficiency anaemia) was studied, diagnosed and Panchakarma treatment was given to the patient.
