Dr. Dhanyashree K.* and Dr. Radhika Ranjan Geethesh

Abstract

Introduction: Haematinics are nutrients required for the formation of blood cells in the process of haematopoiesis. Main haematinics are iron, B12 and folate. Deficiency in haematinics can lead to anaemia. In Ayurveda, numerous formulations are mentioned for the treatment of raktha kshaya conditions like pandu which is similar to anaemia. One such formulation explained in our classics is Taaramandoora Guda.[1] Methodology: The experimental study is conducted to know the haematinic effect of the drug in the experimental animal model[2] by comparing it with the standard drug for the treatment of anaemia, Loha bhasma.[3] Results & Discussion: The results showed marked improvement in the Haemoglobin content along with some of the blood components. Taaramandoora guda showed better results compared to Loha Bhasma in few blood components. Conclusion: The experimental study reveals the test drug Taaramandoora guda is effective in increasing the blood components required for the haematopoiesis. It can be further tested in the humans safely for anaemia which is presented as associated symptom in different diseases.
