Anaemia means low haemoglobin, causing tiredness, breathlessness on exertion, pale skin, hair fall and poor concentration. It is very common in women and children in India. At Advait Ayurveda, Dr. Kalpit N. Goswami treats anaemia by improving diet and digestion, so iron is actually absorbed, with Ayurvedic iron-based medicines when suitable, after finding the cause.

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

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.
