Prevalence of Anemia among Pregnant Women and Adolescent Girls in 16 Districts of India
Nutritional anemia is widespread in India, affecting 84.9% of pregnant women and 90.1% of adolescent girls. Severe anemia is prevalent in both groups. The Government of India provides iron and folic acid to pregnant women, but no similar program exists for adolescent girls. Interventions should address iron, B12, and folic acid deficiencies.
Integration of Ayurvedic formulations with iron folic acid in the treatment of nutritional anaemia among school going adolescents of Dehradun District
This study evaluated the effect of Ayurvedic preparations Sootshekhar Rasa (SR) and Sitopaladi Churna (SC) with iron and folic acid (IFA) on nutritional anaemia in 820 adolescents in Dehradun, India. After 90 days of treatment, all groups showed increased haemoglobin levels, with the best results in the group receiving SR + SC + IFA. No major side effects were reported, and the treatment led to sustainable improvements in anaemia.
Observational research on the effect of an Ayurvedic treatment protocol in patients of hereditary pancreatitis
Hereditary pancreatitis (HP) is a chronic genetic disorder with limited treatment options. This study evaluated the efficacy of a year-long Ayurvedic Treatment Protocol (ATP) in 151 patients, 88 of whom completed the program. The treatment included Ayurvedic formulations, dietary adjustments, and discontinuation of pancreatic enzymes. Results showed a 92.8% reduction in attack frequency and a 98.7% decrease in hospitalizations (p < 0.0001), with no adverse effects. ATP demonstrated safety and effectiveness in managing HP, suggesting the need for further research.
Acute and Sub acute Toxicity Study of Ayurvedic Formulation (AYFs) Used for Migraine Treatment
This study tested the safety of five Ayurvedic formulations for migraine prevention in rats and mice. Acute and sub-acute toxicity studies showed no toxic effects at doses up to 10 times the human dose. A slight mortality in high-dose groups was unrelated to treatment. The formulations are considered safe, but further chronic toxicity studies are needed.
Sustainable Effect of Ayurvedic Formulations in the Treatment of Nutritional Anemia in Adolescent Students
This study evaluated the impact of Ayurvedic treatments (Sootshekhar Rasa and Sitopaladi Churna) on nutritional anemia in 1322 adolescent students in Dehradun. After 90 days of treatment, significant hemoglobin improvements were seen in the treatment groups, especially those receiving a daily dose of 250 mg SR and 400 mg SC. The study concluded that this combination effectively improves anemia in adolescents without adverse effects.
