Study the efficacy of Murvadya Choorna Vati in Pandu Vyadhi with special reference to Iron Deficiency Anaemia

Abstract

Rasa and Rakta Dhatus play very important role in our human life. Rasa and Rakta are considered as key factor for the nourishment and life maintenance of the body. In today’s world of urbanization and modern lifestyle, many times it is seen that higher economic class and lower economic class are all malnourished under different circumstances. These factors include fast food, low nutritional value food, stressful & hectic life, which in turn contribute to create very common and well-known disease Pandu. On the basis of similarity of aetiological factors and symptoms Pandu Vyadhi can be correlated with Anaemia. Anaemia is a decrease in the total amount of red blood cells or haemoglobin in the blood or a lowered ability of the blood to carry oxygen. It is caused due to number of causes including nutritional deficiencies, acute or slow blood loss due to trauma or disease, destruction of red blood cells due to various metabolic and immunological abnormalities or toxins, diseases of the bone marrow, general systemic diseases like infection and various varieties of cancer, kidney failure etc. In the present study, Murvadya Choorna Vati is described by Gada Nighraha in Pandu Vyadhi. Murvadya Choorna Vati contains Murva, Bala and Chitrak. Hence it is used in Pandu Vyadhi due to its Deepana, Pachana and Rasayana property.
