Garbhini Pandu (anemia in pregnancy) is a common nutritional disorder that adversely affects maternal and fetal health. It mainly arises due to increased demand for Rasa and Rakta Dhatu during pregnancy, inadequate nutrition, and impaired Agni. Severe anemia can lead to complications such as fatigue, weakness, preterm delivery, and low birth weight. This case report presents a 33-year-old pregnant woman at 18 weeks of gestation with severe anemia (hemoglobin level of 4.2 g/dl), who presented with complaints of giddiness, loss of appetite, fatigue, and generalized weakness. She was managed with a combined approach of Ayurvedic formulations—Dadimavleha and Madiphala Rasayana—along with Inj. Orofer-S. Following treatment, the patient showed significant improvement in appetite, reduction in weakness and giddiness, and overall well-being. This case highlights the effectiveness of integrating Ayurvedic therapies with modern parenteral iron supplementation in the management of Garbhini Pandu. The combined regimen improved Agni, enhanced Rasa–Rakta Dhatu formation, and ensured rapid correction of iron deficiency, leading to better maternal and fetal health outcomes.
