Abstract

In this disease there is predominance of paleness all over the body. Due to  its similarity, it can be co-related with modern disease anaemia. In  Ayurveda, Pandu Roga is a pallor on the skin produced by a quantitative  and qualitative Rakta dhatu deficit manifested as a lack of haemoglobin  and/or red blood cells. Rasavaha and Raktavahasrotas are the most  important in the pathophysiology of Pandu Roga. The changing lifestyle of  humans via Ahara and Vihar has a significant impact in the emergence of  many ailments. Pandu Roga is one among them as well. Ama is formed as  a result of our poor food choices and lifestyle, which then leads to  Agnimandya and, finally, Amayukta Ahararasa. Rasa Dhatu Utpatti is  hampered, and Pandu Roga manifests. Aggravated Pitta is responsible for  the creation of Posaka (nutrient component) from the Rasadhatu, which  causes Rakta depletion. Inadequate dietary intake, quick development, low  birth weight, and gastrointestinal losses caused by increased cow's milk  consumption are the most prevalent causes of iron insufficiency in children.  According to WHO, anaemia affects one-quarter of the world's population  and is most prevalent in pre-school-aged children and women. In children,  anaemia varies from 45 to 65%. Pallor, weariness, lack of appetite,  palpitations, irritability, weakness, dyspnoea, brittle nails, pica, headache  are all clinical manifestations of the condition. According to Ayurveda, the  main goal of therapy is to rectify and balance Agni, which allows  metabolism to be controlled.
