ABSTRACT

Anaemia continues to be a significant public health issue in India, particularly in Chhattisgarh, which has one of the highest rates of prevalence. According to NFHS-5 (2019-21), the rate of Anaemia among children aged 6-59 months increased from 41.6% (NFHS-4) to 67.2%, while more than 60% of women of reproductive age are impacted. The extensive burden in Chhattisgarh is related to deficiencies in nutrition, poverty, limited variety in diets, genetic disorders such as sickle cell Anaemia, and insufficient access to healthcare services. Moreover, environmental factors like iron-deficient soil and inadequate water quality exacerbate the problem by decreasing the iron levels in food cultivated locally. Despite the presence of iron and folic acid supplementation initiatives, obstacles such as poor adherence, low absorption rates, and side effects challenge their effectiveness. This situation has led to growing interest in the use of traditional herbal medicines among tribal and rural populations in Chhattisgarh. This review examines the contributions of medicinal plants such as Moringa oleifera (Sahjan), Phyllanthus emblica (Amla), Tinospora cordifolia (Guduchi), Terminalia arjuna (Arjuna), Boerhavia diffusa (Punarnava), and Andrographis paniculata (Kalmegh) in the management of Anaemia. These plants, which are abundant in bioactive compounds like flavonoids, alkaloids, tannins, and polyphenols, support iron absorption, enhance haemoglobin levels, and promote overall blood health.

Keywords: Anaemia, Traditional, Topical treatments, Haemoglobin.
