The situation in Asia has not improved in recent years. Pandu Roga can be effectively compared with Anemia on the ground of its similar signs and symptoms. In this study I have been selected Herbo-mineral formulation - Navayasa churna in the management of Pandu. Maximum drugs of Navayasa churna having Deepan, Pachana, Anulomana, Raktavardhaka, Rasayana and Krimighna effect. In this study I have registered 44 patients of Pandu along them 33 patients were completed their treatment and 11 patients were drop out. I have given Navayasa churna-1 gm in tablet form with ghee for 2 months in 33 patients. Statistically highly significant result was found in Aruchi, Akshikutshoth, Brahma, Daurbalya, Panduta, Pindikodwestana Shrama and Shwasa Symptoms. It’s also improved Hb, S.Iron and S.
