Abstract

In Ayurveda, Pandu is considered as a specific disease with its own pathogenesis and treatment. Pandu is a disease characterized by pallor of body which strikingly resembles with ‘Anaemia’ of modern science, due to reduction in number of RBCs per cumm of Blood and quantity of Hb resulting in pallor. For the present study total 40 patients of Pandu roga have been randomly selected, divided in to 2 groups, 20 patients in each Group. Group A treated with Manduravataka (250 mg each) twice daily with Madhu for 45-60 days. Group B treated with Nishamalaki (500mg each) twice daily with Luke warm water for 45- 60 days. Results were analyzed by using the paired t-test for subjective and objective parameters for both groups. The results between the two groups were analyzed by using the unpaired t-test. While comparing the results the Group A showed better results than Group B.
