Abstract

THERAPEUTIC EFFICACY OF PHANTA CHIKITSA IN RASA AND RAKTA KSHAYA

Dr. Sanjay Burde*, Dr. Subhash Suddalwar

ABSTRACT

Rasa-Raktakshaya Avastha, characterized by depletion of Rasa (plasma/nutrient fluid) and Rakta (blood) Dhatus, closely resembles iron deficiency anaemia (Pandu) in modern medicine. This condition arises primarily from Agnimandya (impaired digestion), leading to inferior quality Rasa formation and subsequent Rakta Kshaya. Phanta Chikitsa (hot infusion therapy), one of the Panchavidha Kashaya Kalpana, offers a readily absorbable, Brimhana (nourishing), and Deepana-Pachana (digestive stimulant) therapeutic modality. This review examines classical Ayurvedic treatises and contemporary evidence to evaluate the efficacy of Phanta in managing Rasa-Raktakshaya. Findings indicate that Phanta formulations, prepared with Raktavardhaka herbs (e.g., Pippali, Shunthi, Amalaki, Draksha) in a 1:4 drug-to-water ratio, effectively enhance Rasa Dhatu formation, improve haemoglobin synthesis, and restore Dhatu equilibrium.
