*Dr. Suman Rajwade, Dr. Aradhana Kande, Dr. Aruna Ojha
ABSTRACT
Pandu Roga is a significant condition mentioned in Ayurveda under Rasa-Rakta Du?h?i, where the key feature is pallor of the body. It develops due to weakened digestive fire, improper habits, and disturbance of the Tridosha primarily Pitta and Vata. Modern hematology links these symptoms to different types of anaemia, especially those marked by changes in red blood cell (RBC) morphology. Integrating Ayurvedic concepts with current biomedical insights helps enhance the understanding of its pathogenesis, diagnostic approach and management strategies. This article examines Pandu Roga based on classical Ayurvedic texts and aligns it with modern observations of RBC morphology, including features like microcytosis, macrocytosis, anisocytosis and hypochromia.
