Nutritional indicators have been developed to monitor health for all. Greater emphasis is now placed on integrating nutrition into primary health care systems whenever possible and formulation of national dietary goals to promote health and nutritional status of families and communities. Iron deficiency has been recognized as commonest nutritional deficiency disorder and a risk to the nation among top ten selected health risks, although this deficiency disorder has been described by the name Panduroga thousands of years ago in the Ayurvedic classics. These Ayurvedic classics have also recommended formulations of Louha (iron) for the management of this disease as best remedy.Keywords: Anemia, hemoglobin, iron deficiency, Pandu roga, serum ferritin
