What is ITP

ITP or Idiopathic Thrombocytopenic Purpura is a bleeding disorder. It is a rare problem, which is characterized by decreased platelets in the body. Platelets help in the formation of blood clot during any injury but in ITP patient, due to decreased platelet count the formation of blood clot does not occur which results in excessive bleeding and bruising. Bleeding can occur from the nose, gums, bladder, etc.

Ayurvedic perspective of ITP

According to Ayurveda, the three energies form our body – Vata, Pitta and Kapha, when the imbalance occurs between any of them, the disease occurs. ITP is a Raktapittadisorder (Rakta – blood), which occurs due to increased pitta in our body. This aggravation of pitta dosha occurs due to the consumption of pitta provoking foods such as sour, salty and spicy foods. These  foods lead to an increase in Amlabhava, which forms Ama Rasa and vitiates the pitta

Natural Treatment of Idiopathic Thrombocytopenic Purpura

Overview

Idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) is a disorder which is characterized by excessive bleeding and bruising. Due to the low levels of platelets, bleeding occurs. Idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura is also called as immune thrombocytopenia. It affects children and adults.  After a viral infection, Children often develop ITP and usually recover without treatment.

If your platelet count isn’t too low & you don’t have any signs of bleeding, you may not need any treatment. The number of platelets may be so low that severe internal bleeding occurs [only in rare cases]
