Abstract
ABSTRACT- FAQR-UD-DAM is an Arabic word which means shortage of blood. Soo-ul-qinya means alteration or deficiency in storage, attributing to iron deficiency anaemia [IDA]. Anaemia [lack of blood] is a worldwide public health issue affecting approximately 1.62 billion sufferer or approximately quarter of world population. Among anaemia IDA is most widespread and most common nutrient deficiency. It generally occurs when iron demand of the body is not met by iron absorption. IDA may be caused by deficient intake or absorption, excessive demand, repeated pregnancies or deficient utilization. Some Unani physicians have described anaemia as Zoaf-e-Jigar [weakness of liver]. They believed that alteration in the temperament of liver causes its weakness which leads to anaemia. Anaemia is the most prevalent deficiency disease and one of the major nutrition related goals globally. Unani medicine plays a vital role in the management of anaemia through its safety, efficacy and easy availability. This overview has been contemplated to highlight the beneficial aspect of Unani medicine in the management of anaemia. Aims and Objectives: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of unani formulation in the management of anaemia [Faqr-ud-Dam Ba Wajah Zoaf-e-Jigar]. Methodology: The study was conducted as single blind clinical trial to evaluate the safety and efficacy in iron deficiency anaemia [Faqr-ud-dam ba wajah zoaf-e-jigar] with polyherbal Unani formulation. The sample size of 40 patients were taken. All these patients received treatment for 90 days. Medicines [ Gul-e-Surkh, Badiyan, Parsiaoshan, were given in safoof [ powder] form 2 gm each, alongside honey [1-2 teaspoon] morning and evening daily with Maweez Munaqqa 1.5 gm before meals with proper follow-up at the interval of 15 days. The pre and post-treatment effect were then assessed based on subjective and objective parameters. Results and Conclusion: The study revealed that the drug showed great response in subjective parameters like pallor, fatigue and palpitation. The objective parameters like Hb and Serum Ferritin also showed statistically extreme significant difference [ p<0.0001]. No adverse effect or toxicity was observed during clinical trial.
