Abstract

Ayurveda is an eternal science, methodically experimented and precisely explained in Samhitas. It is well mentioned in texts–“Roga sarve-api mande-agnau”[1] that is the pathology of every disease emerges from weak digestive fire. Pandu Roga is one of the disease which is basically caused by agni-mandya. Agni in our body is responsible for nurturing aayu-varna-bala-utsah-oja[2] and these are lost or disturbed during samprapti (pathogenesis) of Pandu Vyadhi. Anaemia is caused by malabsorption or dietary deficiency. Malabsorption is due to „ama‟[3] utpatti caused by agni-mandya (weak digestive fire) which creates hinderance in poshan of uttar-dhatu from rasa-dhatu. The pathology of Pandu Roga and its co-relation with Anaemia is explained in the study.

Keywords: Pandu roga, agni-mandya, Anaemia.
