Because all of the clinical signs and  symptoms of Pandu and anaemia are similar, the clinical condition of Pandu in Ayurveda can be linked to  anaemia as described in mainstream medicine. Apart from the existing platforms, complementary and  alternative systems/traditional medications can be investigated for the treatment of anaemia.  Aims-To examine numerous Nighantu (dictionaries), Samhita (traditional Ayurvedic treatise),  Samgrahagrantha, Chikitsagrantha (Ayurvedic compendia), and Rasagrantha (compendia connected to  Rasashastra) to determine the various formulas used for the prevention and management of Panduroga . Material and methods- Classical Ayurvedic books, were thoroughly examined, together with Sanskrit  commentary were explored. A thorough search of the Internet was conducted to locate prior study papers  and related material to Anaemia.  Result and conclusion- Ayurveda the traditional science of Indian medical system described Pandu roga  as Pitta Pradana Vyadhi which mainly affects Rasa and Rakta Dhatu. Disease involves lack of Dhatus  nourishment due to intake of Pitta Prakopaka Ahara. Various ayurvedic formulations described in  Ayurveda if taken appropriately could help in treatment of this disease.
