Ayurvedic perspective on treating anemia:
•Anemia is a condition characterized by a lack of red blood cells (RBCs) or hemoglobin (Hb) in the blood. The normal Hb level for an adult woman is 12-14 g/dL and for an adult man, it is 14-18 g/dL. When a person's Hb level falls below the standard level, they are said to be anemic.
•In Ayurveda Anemia is called “PanduRog”. It is caused by loss of blood in the body, failure to follow a proper diet, and malnutrition. All these factors can lead to the production of toxins i.e. 'ama' in the stomach which block the channel called 'rasa (primary waters of the body) further causing pallor and other symptoms of anemia.
Anemia is of three types:
1. Iron deficiency anemia (IDA): is the most common form of anemia. It can be caused by insufficient intake of iron in the diet or when the body is unable to absorb the required amount of iron. IDA occurs in infants and pregnant women.
2. Megaloblastic anemia: it is caused by a lack of vitamin B12 or folic acid in the body.
3. Hemolytic anemia: it is caused by the loss of blood in the body.
Depending on the impairment of the doshas in the body, anemia in Ayurveda is classified as:
1. Vataj type: characterized by pale skin, constipation, black stools, shortness of breath, cracking joints, and rough and dry skin.
2. Pittaj type: characterized by yellowing of the eyes, dark-colored urine, dark brown or yellow stools, and dizziness.
3. Kaphaj type: characterized by edema and cool and moist skin.
*Combination of all three doshas is called Sannipataj (most common in children due to eating dirt or dirt.)
Treatment of anemia according to Ayurveda:
1. Abhyhanga (massages that help flush out toxins).
2. Exercise.
3. Diet: Increase your intake of iron-rich foods like beetroot, carrots, green leafy vegetables, apples, pomegranates, etc. Citrus fruits like oranges help with iron absorption. Shatavari ghee or bitter ghee can also help in treating anemia.
4. Herbs: Vitamin C in Triphala helps in the absorption of iron in the body.
