Abstract
Pregnancy is a physiological condition where a woman requires more nutrition. When compared to non-pregnant women, a pregnant woman needs 2-3 times the amount of iron. Pandu means pallor of body which can be correlated with ‘Anaemia' of modern science. There are various references present in ayurvedic classics which indirectly denote Garbhini Pandu. Acharya Charaka in Sharira Sthana has explained about Bala varna hani of Garbhini in 6th month of pregnancy. It can be considered as reference for Garbhini Pandu. The line of treatment in Panduroga is shodhana, as it is contraindicated during pregnancy appropriate shamana treatment has to be adopted.“Draksha Ghrita” mentioned in Charaka Samhita, has been taken for study. Draksha has got vatapitta shamaka, Raktha prasadana, Garbha sthapaka, Jeevaniya, Balya, Brihmana properties. Ghrita has also Vatapittahara and varna prasadana properties. It also shows samskarasyanuvartanath property. Hence ghritha and draksha both are suitable drugs for Garbhini Pandu w.s.r. Anaemia in Pregnancy. 30 patients of Garbhini Pandu were selected from OPD and IPD of Prasuti Tantra and Stree Roga department from Dr.BRKR GAMC, Hyderabad, and were subjected 15ml of draksha ghrita twice daily (Morning and evening) on empty stomach orally along with anupana of sukoshnadugdha for 90 days continuously. The results were assessed in terms of symptomatic relief and Hb%. Statistically highly significant improvement was observed with P-value < 0.001. Hence the study revealed that Draksha Gritha is an effective drug in the management of Garbhini Pandu .
