Abstract

Immune Thrombocytopenic Purpura (ITP) is a bleeding disorder marked by low platelet count, which can be correlated with Raktapitta and Tridosha imbalance in Ayurveda, primarily involving vitiation of Pitta and Rakta Dhatu. Ayurvedic management focuses on balancing doshas, purifying the blood, and enhancing bone marrow function using herbs like Ashwagandha, Amalaki, Giloy, and Punarnava. This paper presents an Ayurvedic perspective on ITP and highlights the potential of holistic, natural interventions in improving patient outcomes.
