AYURVEDIC RAKTDA IS A BETTER TREATMENT FOR ANEMIA

Anemia, also spelled as Anaemia or Raktalpta in Hindi is one of the biggest health challenges faced worldwide especially in developing countries like India where more than half of the population is anaemic. Most of the women in the country suffer from this condition and the percentage reaches up to 87% in pregnant women.

Malnutrition & deficiency of nutrients such as Iron, Folic Acid, Vitamin B12, Proteins, niacin, and pantothenic acidis responsible for the cause of anemia. And the symptoms may include weakness, fatigue, malaise, poor concentration, pallor, koilonychias, jaundice, tachycardia, leg syndrome, etc.

Raktda, an ayurvedic medicine from Maharishi Ayurveda has proven very effective as well as safe in treating different kinds of anemia. In two different clinical trials on Raktda, maximum favourable results have been observed.

The average increase in haemoglobin was recorded at 4 g/dl. From the initial 07.16 g/dlto 11.136g/dl. In research conducted at Ayurveda College of Solapur it was also observed that during the treatment, not a single patient complained of reactionsof nausea, vomiting, loose motion or stomach upset which are very common in modern iron tonics.

In another research conducted for a month at B.R. Institute for Ayurvediya Panchkarma Treatment and Research, Aurangabad showed a mean increase in Hb%=1.91;SD=0.72:SE=0.93;t=9.90>=0.001. The probability above 0.001 is suggestive that the efficacy of the drug is highly significant in increasing haemoglobin.

According to Ayurveda,ras (lymph) produced by digested food mixed with ranjakpitt forms raktdhatu (haemoglobin). This process may be hampered by malnutrition, fevers like malaria, prenatal factors, haemolytic disorders, chronic infections and post-operative convalescences.

There aremore than a dozen ingredient including herbs, bhasm, pissti and sattva in Raktda which are 
capable in restoring the process of blood making and in absorption of iron. And hence it culminates in the improvement in the anaemic condition.

Raktda, therefore uses ancient traditional wisdom, fortifies it with science and research and presents the ultimate solution to finding a cure to Anemia by being effective as well as safe with no side effects.
