How to increase platelets for the ITP patient - #25374

hello Faiza, I completely understand what you’re feeling right now. ITP can sound scary at first, especially when your daughter has been on steroids for a whole year. And yes long-term use of steroids like eltrombopag can start affecting bones, hormones, immunity, and liver too. So your concern is very valid.Now, let me tell you something reassuring Ayurveda may not replace steroids overnight, but it does have a beautiful way of supporting the body from the root. You know what’s really happening in ITP? Her own body is confusing platelets as a threat and attacking them that’s why counts fall. In Ayurveda, we see this as a Pitta and Rakta imbalance it’s like the blood has too much heat or irritation, and the body's internal calm is disturbed. What we do is cool the blood, strengthen the liver and spleen (where platelets are made and stored), and calm the overactive immune response.And don’t worry this can go side by side with her allopathy. No interference. Slowly, as her system becomes stronger, steroid dosage can usually be reduced under her doctor’s guidance that’s the long-term hope. We’ll give her internal medicines to build her platelets and calm the system, suggest a few diet changes, and guide you step by step. Ayurvedic Treatment Plan (to be continued for 3+ months with platelet monitoring) 1. Internal Medicines Kamdudha Ras (with Mukta) – 1 tab twice daily Giloy Satva – 250 mg with honey twice daily Ashwagandha capsule – 1 capsule at bedtime Punarnavadi Mandur – 1 tab twice daily after meals Draksharishta – 15 ml with equal water after meals 2. Diet Guidelines Avoid: spicy, oily, sour food, junk, pickles, tea/coffee Include: pomegranate, grapes, coconut water, beetroot, boiled drumstick leaves Use cow’s ghee daily — it strengthens immunity Drink water boiled with khus or coriander seeds Daily small portion of khajur (dates) and black raisins soaked overnight 3. Monitoring and Follow-up Keep checking platelet count every 15–30 days Slowly taper steroids only under doctor’s guidance Ayurvedic treatment can continue for 6 months or more to build lasting strength This is a condition that needs slow and steady recovery and Ayurveda offers a supportive, safe, and nourishing way to help her body heal from within and eventually reduce dependence on steroids.
