Abstract Anaemia during pregnancy is a very grievous problem in many parts of the country. This may be due to illiteracy or ignorance of the common people. Garbhini pandu may lead to various different disorders also which can be life threatening as the during pregnancy the female body is in high demand of oxygen and nutrients for herself and also for the foetus. And anaemic condition in this stage can be proved to be fatal both for mother and the child. Iron supplementation during pregnancy is often administered but almost all preparations of iron if given by oral route produce gastritis, leading to epigastric burning, nausea and vomiting. Such iatrogenic problem gives rise to loss of appetite, which further reduces iron intake. Thus, it can be appreciated that therapy with modern iron preparation is troublesome for the patient and not well tolerated. Decrease in circulating blood quantity generalized weakness and lesser development of foetus are common problems in this condition.
Looking into the above-mentioned facts there is a need for treatment which can prevent complication of disease, safer, cost effective and easily available as well as reduce the recurrence effectively for which Dadimadi ghrita (DG) which has been advocated by Acharya Charak is taken for the study to evaluate its effect on Garbhini pandu. After study on 60 patients where Dadimadi ghrita was given in 30 patients and ferrous sulphate was given in 30 patients it was found that both the treatments were equally effective in relieving the sign and symptoms of Garbhini pandu like nakha, netra twaka panduta, pindikodweshtana, Hrutspanda, ayasenshwas and klama and also statistically significant with p value<0.001. marked increase was also seen in haemoglobin percentage in both the groups.
