Low serum ferritin levels, as you’re experiencing, could indicate iron deficiency anemia. To address this through Ayurveda, understanding the root cause through a dosha imbalance is key. In cases of anemia, Pitta aggravation is often observed, leading to compromised digestive function and poor absorption of nutrients, including iron.
You’ve mentioned virechana, a purgative process that is known to pacify Pitta dosha. However, if ferritin levels aren’t improving, additional strategies should be considered. Vamana may not be directly beneficial for anemia as it’s primarily used to pacify Kapha dosha. Prioritize enhancing agni (digestive fire) to improve iron absorption.
Consider dietary changes focusing on iron-rich foods. Incorporate ample green leafy vegetables like spinach and fenugreek, adding jaggery and sesame seeds to meals could also help boost iron levels. Consuming citrus fruits like amla after meals can enhance iron absorption due to their Vitamin C content. Avoid calcium-rich foods right after meals as they can interfere with iron absorption.
SGOT/SGPT and serum urea/BUN levels may indeed influence iron metabolism indirectly, as liver function affects overall nutrient processing and storage. Focus on liver health through herbs like Arogyavardhini Vati, which can support liver function, or practices like regular intake of warm water mixed with turmeric and honey.
Continually monitor your SGOT/SGPT levels with your healthcare provider, as high levels need medical attention. Nurture digestive health with Trikatu churna before meals to enhance digestion, boosting nutrient utilization. Consulting an Ayurvedic practitioner for personalized guidance based on your prakriti is advisable. Balancing the doshas and improving metabolic efficiency are crucial in addressing both anemia and related issues.
