Abstract: Pallor, or Pandutva, is one of the primary symptoms associated with skin tone and colour disorder. Bhrajaka Roga, as described in Ayurveda, is characterised by alterations in skin pigmentation, ranging from white (Shweta) to yellowish (Peeta) and greenish (Harita), classifying it as a "Varnopalakshita Roga," a condition marked by changes in colour. The Ayurvedic clinical entity of Pandu can be correlated with anaemia in modern medical science due to similarities in clinical presentation and symptomatology. Anaemia, a significant global public health issue, is the most common nutritional deficiency disorder worldwide. This article explores the Ayurvedic framework of Pandu Roga (anaemia) and emphasises its applicability to contemporary anaemia management practices.
