Abstract

According to Ayurveda, human body is made up from Saptdhatu, Tridosha and Trimal. These are the main functional unit which maintains equilibrium in body. Agni plays most important role in metabolism of body. With the help of Agni, food is converted into absorbable form and also it forms and nourishes Saptdhatu in progressive manner continuously. Any type of disequilibrium in the process, gives rise to diseases like Pandu, Grahani, Kushtha etc. Pandu Roga is disease entity described in Ayurvedic literature which is characterized as pallor complexion of the skin of the diseased person. Pandu is widely described in various Ayurvedic texts as an independent disease and also as associated symptom in many other diseases. The general treatment of Pandu is Snehana, Shodhana, Shamana with herbo-mineral combinations along with dietary modifications. There is specific mention of internal oleation before Shodhana Chikitsa is advised which marks its importance in treatment. Ghritpan is considered best for ignition of Jatharagni as well as Dhatvagni and it also has properties like Jivaniya, Rasayana etc. Ghritapan opposes the etiology of Pandu at level of constitution and diet. In Pandu Chikitsa Adhyay, various medicated Ghrita are described. This present study critically reviews role of Ghritapan in Pandu and different combination of medicated Ghrita described in Pandu Chikitsa Adhyay by Acharya Charaka along with its specific indications.
