Abstract

“The woman is the origin of the progeny.”[1] Therefore every woman has desire to experience the joys of motherhood. Most of the responsibility to carry out pregnancy successfully is held by the female. She has to protect, nourish and care for each and every need of growing foetus. The growing foetus is nourished by maternal Rasa and Rakta. Garbhavasthajanya Pandu occurs due to the foetal demands & improper functioning of the Rasa Dhatu leading to malnourishment of the body. In today‟s era due to decreased nutritional value of food and hectic lifestyle mother will not be able to meet the extra demand of nutrients by diet alone. This leads to certain disease condition in mother. Among them anaemia is the commonest haematological disorder that may occur in pregnancy.[2] In the present study Dhatriavleha is used in the management of Garbhini Pandu.
