Anaemia is one of the most prevalent blood related disorder. The present study was carried out to study the haematinic effect of ayurvedic iron preparations lauha bhasma in treating anaemia in wistar rats of either sex. Anaemia was induced by intra-peritonial administration of phenyl hydrazine. Three different doses of lauha bhasma were evaluated for the haematinic activity and compared with that of Ferrous sulphate. The results suggest that lauha bhasmas shows significant haematinic activity.Downloads
