Summary of article contents:

Introduction: Iron deficiency anemia (IDA) is one of the most common nutritional deficiencies worldwide, which can be correlated to Pandu described in ayurvedic classics. It is a systemic disease that involves multiple systems rather than a mere haematological condition associated with Anaemia.Poor absorption of iron is one of the main reasons for IDA. Ayurveda can provide better management not only in substituting and replenishing deficient nutrients but also can play a vital role in correcting metabolism. Aims: To evaluate the efficacy of Amalaki Avleha in the management of Pandu w.s.r. IDA. Materials and Methods: A randomized controlled open clinical trial was conducted at the Jammu Institute of Ayurveda and Research. Iron deficient anaemic patients ( n = 30) having Hb <12 g% in females and 13 gm% in males were selected.
