Abstract

Ancient Ayurvedic literature mention a disorder called Pandu Roga, or anemia, which is marked by weakness, exhaustion, pale complexion, and a diminished ability to exert oneself physically and mentally. The condition is mostly caused by a blood imbalance and is frequently linked to a lack of the three doshas (Pitta, Kapha, and Vata). The word "Pandu" describes the disease's hallmark symptom, which is the skin's pale appearance. Ayurveda offers a number of remedies for Pandu Roga, with mineral and herbal formulations being particularly important for reestablishing equilibrium and improving general health, one of these herbo-mineral is Navayas Lauha. This condition is treated using Navayas Lauha, a traditional Ayurvedic treatment that contains nine herbs and iron (Lauha Bhasma). Navayas Lauha improves digestion, restores blood health, and increases iron absorption. According to clinical research, it successfully increases hemoglobin levels and lessens the symptoms of anemia without causing significant adverse effects. Its all-encompassing strategy addresses the underlying causes of anemia as well as its symptoms. Its longer-term application and wider advantages in treating anemia in different patient populations might be investigated in more detail.
