Panduroga is more prevalent disease so it is given much importance to its treatment. Ayurveda explained array of curative treatments for this disease. Though the Allopathic medical science explained this disease caused by deficiency of iron in the blood and its main etiological factors as malnutrition. This is the reason Ayurveda not only advocates various herbs and herbo-mineral compounds as therapeutic agents which many a times contains element of iron but it also advocates certain therapeutic modalities that have got ability to correct the metabolic disfunctions in the body. Among such modalities Panchatiktaghrita matra basti is done to eliminate metabolic derangements contributing to the genesis of Panduroga. Thus I have selected this comparative study “clinical study on efficacy of mandurabhas and panchatiktaghrita matra basti in Panduroga”.
The procedure of purification of Manduraloha to be used as medication is relatively simpler than the process of other lohas like Teekshnaloha and Kantaloha. Preparation of Mandurabhasma requires minimal putas and is simpler. Finally the cost effectiveness of Mandurabhasma is far minimal than any other lohabhasmas. Owing to all these additional benefits of Mandurabhasa, it not only proves to be a choice of drug in the treatment of Panduroga but also proves to be a doctor's and patient's friendly medicament.
30 patients of Panduroga of different age and sex groups have been selected for the present study. Among which 15 patients were treated by Mandurabhasma alone while the remaining 15 patients were first given panchtiktaghrita matra basti followed by Mandurabhasma.
