To increase your platelet count, especially after experiencing fever and having a low count of 1.18 lakh, consider adopting a holistic Ayurvedic approach that emphasizes nutrition, herbal remedies, and lifestyle modifications. Incorporate foods that are rich in **vitamin C**, **iron**, and **folate**, such as citrus fruits, leafy greens (like spinach and kale), and legumes, as they are essential for platelet production. **Beetroot** juice is particularly beneficial due to its high iron content, which can help enhance blood health.
**Herbs like Papaya leaf extract** have been traditionally used to improve platelet counts; consuming the juice or extract may be beneficial. Other beneficial herbs include **Ashwagandha** (Withania somnifera), which can help strengthen the immune system and support overall health, and **Tulsi** (Holy Basil), known for its health benefits, including improving immunity.
Stay well-hydrated and consume **warm, nourishing soups** or broths to support recovery, and avoid foods that can aggravate the condition, such as processed foods, caffeine, and alcohol. Ensure adequate rest and avoid stress, as these can impact your recovery and platelet levels. It is essential to follow up with your healthcare provider to monitor your condition and ensure there are no underlying issues causing the low platelet count. If symptoms persist or worsen, further medical evaluation may be necessary.

Hello Gajendar, A low platelet count, especially following a fever, can be concerning, and Ayurveda offers supportive measures to naturally boost platelets and strengthen immunity. When fever affects platelet levels, it often indicates a pitta imbalance, which can impact blood health. Ayurvedic remedies focus on nourishing the blood (rakta dhatu) and cooling excess heat to support platelet recovery.
Herbs like Giloy (Tinospora cordifolia), Papaya leaf, and Amalaki (Indian gooseberry) are traditionally used to increase platelet count and enhance immunity. Giloy juice or tablets can help fight infection and improve blood parameters. Papaya leaf juice, known for its platelet-boosting properties, can be taken under supervision, as it helps increase platelet production. Amalaki, rich in vitamin C, supports immunity and blood health and can be consumed as fresh juice or in powder form.
Dietary support is also crucial. Focus on easily digestible, nourishing foods such as well-cooked vegetables, rice, and soups. Fresh pomegranate juice, rich in iron and antioxidants, is beneficial for blood health. Avoid spicy, fried, and overly acidic foods, as these can aggravate pitta and slow recovery. Drinking plenty of warm water and herbal teas, such as tulsi and ginger tea, may help detoxify and strengthen your immune system.
Rest is essential to allow your body to recover fully. Additionally, avoiding strenuous activities and allowing yourself ample rest will help conserve energy and support healing. Once you feel stronger, gentle yoga and pranayama (breathing exercises) can improve circulation and support overall vitality.

Alright, low platelet count and fever—bit of a tough combo, I get it. Ayurveda's got some tricks up its sleeve for this, blending with modern understandings. But remember, if your symptoms worsen, you really should see a doc pronto, ok?
Now, diving into what you can do. Boosting platelet count starts with nourishing the Rasa dhatu, the primary tissue in Ayurveda responsible for forming blood components. Let's get you on a platelet-friendly path:
Diet-wise, load up on foods that agni, your body's digestive fire, handles well. Warm, well-cooked veggies and soups—they’re super soothing and easy on you right now. Think of leafy greens like spinach, which can give your blood a nice boost. Fresh fruit juices like pomegranate juice are solid too; they’re known for their ability to boost platelet production. But avoid spicy or excessively oily foods, these can disrupt your digestion—your body's already fighting a fever and low platelets.
Turmeric is a bit of a hero here, a pinch in warm milk can be helpful, but not too much since you're running a fever. Giloy (Guduchi) is also great for boosting immunity and platelets, if you have access to it, a decoction can do wonders during fever, just don't overdo it. Moringa leaves are another option that helps in balancing the doshas and uplifting the blood levels.
On the lifestyle front, rest is big. Your body’s like, "Hey, I'm healing here!" So relax as much as you can. It's tempting to keep going, but resting up is key.
Careful with any herbal supplements or remedial that might interfere with any ongoing treatment — always double-check if you're unsure. And try staying hydrated and maintain good hygiene habits too.
Lastly, keep monitoring your symptoms. If the fever's persistent, or if you feel weaker, get that checked asap. I can't stress enough that your safety is priority number one.
