        abstract = {Background: Childhood anemia is a major public health concern worldwide, with iron deficiency anemia being the most common nutritional disorder among children. It adversely affects physical growth, cognitive development, immunity, and overall quality of life. In Ayurveda, the clinical features of childhood anemia closely resemble Pandu Roga, a condition characterized by pallor, weakness, fatigue, reduced appetite, and diminished vitality resulting from impaired Rasa and Rakta Dhatu formation. Ayurvedic management focuses on correcting Agni, improving digestion and metabolism, nourishing body tissues, and restoring hematological health.Case Presentation: An 8-year-old child presented with generalized weakness, pallor, easy fatigability, poor appetite, reduced physical activity, and low hemoglobin levels consistent with iron deficiency anemia. Based on Ayurvedic evaluation, the condition was diagnosed as Pandu Roga. The child was managed with a comprehensive Ayurvedic treatment regimen consisting of appropriate Deepana-Pachana therapy, Panduhara herbal formulations, dietary modifications, and lifestyle advice for a specified treatment period. Clinical symptoms and hematological parameters were assessed before and after treatment.Results: Progressive improvement was observed in pallor, appetite, energy level, physical activity, and general well-being. Laboratory investigations demonstrated an increase in hemoglobin concentration along with improvement in other hematological indices. The treatment was well tolerated, with no adverse effects reported during the follow-up period.
Conclusion: This case highlights the potential role of Ayurvedic management in improving both the clinical manifestations and hematological parameters of Pandu Roga in children. A holistic approach incorporating herbal medications, dietary regulation, and lifestyle modification may serve as a safe and effective complementary strategy in the management of childhood iron deficiency anemia. Larger, well-designed clinical studies are warranted to validate these findings and establish stronger evidence for the integration of Ayurveda into pediatric anemia care.},
