Abstract
Introduction: The classical formulations are amended from time to time according to the need of healthy as well as disease conditions. This flexibility has insured its existence until today. Thalassemia is a genetic blood disorder. People with Thalassemia disease are not able to make enough hemoglobin, which causes severe anemia. Hemoglobin is found in red blood cells and carries oxygen to all parts of the body. When there is not enough hemoglobin in the red blood cells, oxygen cannot get to all parts of the body. Organs then become starved for oxygen and are unable to function properly. Gandhakadi Yoga is a customized preparation of the formulation proposed for Loha Sevanajanya Vikara Prashamana (iron overloading) in Ayurveda Prakasha. So in the present study the formulation Gandhakadi Yoga has been selected for clinical evaluation on patients of Thalassemia Major, against the standard conventional approach (i.e. Blood Transfusion & Iron chelation therapy).
