View of an Eyeshot on Mridbhakshanjanya Pandu in Ayurveda
Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: ABSTRACT: Pandu Roga is a disease described in Ayurveda since immemorial, the first reference found in Vedas. Most of the Acharyas have described five types of Pandu Roga, i.e. Vatika, Paittika, Kaphaja, Tridoshaja, and Mridabhakshhana janya Pandu. Acharya Charaka, Vagbhatta, and Madhava have given a kind of Mridakabhakshanjanya of Pandu. Mridabhakshhana janya Pandu has a worldwide distribution, but the highest prevalence occurs in tropical & sub-tropical regions and areas with inadequate sanitation, Poverty, ignorance, lack of hygiene maintenance, bad sanitation and use of uncooked food or improper washing of food materials, eating soil, etc. are the important factors for spreading Mridabhakshhana janya Pandu in developing countries like India. When consumed, mud does not get digested in amashaya and blocks the rasavaha strotas. Due to this, gradually rasa dhatu kshaya takes place and in turn, the subsequent dhatu are not properly nourished, thereby producing Pandu roga.
