The Ayurvedic view
Ayurveda calls anaemia Pandu, a Pitta disorder with weak digestion that fails to build healthy blood (rakta dhatu). Treatment improves digestion first, then nourishes the blood.
How we treat anaemia
- Finding the cause: heavy periods, poor diet, worms, piles or other blood loss
- Iron-rich Gujarati foods: green leafy vegetables, dates, jaggery, pulses and sprouts, with vitamin C
- Avoiding tea with meals, which reduces iron absorption
- Ayurvedic medicines such as iron-based bhasma preparations when suitable, prescribed after examination
- Repeat haemoglobin tests to track progress
When to go to a hospital
Go to a hospital for chest pain, fainting, severe breathlessness, very fast heartbeat, or black or bloody stools. Very low haemoglobin, and anaemia in pregnancy, need urgent medical care.

Anaemia: food, digestion and absorption
Ayurveda calls anaemia Pandu. It is not just low iron intake: weak digestion (Agni) means iron and nutrients are not absorbed well. So treatment improves digestion along with iron-rich food and medicines.
| Iron-rich Gujarati foods | Tips for better absorption |
|---|---|
| Dates, raisins, figs, jaggery (in moderation) | Take with amla, lemon or other vitamin C foods |
| Methi, palak, drumstick leaves | Avoid tea or coffee within 1 hour of meals |
| Bajra, ragi, sprouted moong, til (sesame) | Treat worms, heavy periods or piles if present |
| Beetroot and pomegranate | Cook in an iron kadai |
Get checked for the cause
Very heavy periods, bleeding piles, blood in stools or Hb below 8 need medical evaluation first. We coordinate with your physician.
