*The important pathological factors in ''pandu'' are aggravated three ''dosha'' with dominant ''pitta'' leading to slow metabolism at level of blood (''rakta''), the fatty tissue ~~(''medas''~~) ~~''dhatu''~~ and ''ojas'' qualities (affecting the vitality).

*The important pathological factors in ''pandu'' are aggravated three [[dosha]] with dominant [[pitta]] leading to slow metabolism at level of blood ([[rakta dhatu]]), the fatty tissue [[meda dhatu]]) and [[ojas]] qualities (affecting the vitality).

*The dietary factors like alkaline, sour, saline, hot and mutually contradictory foods, unwholesome food, ''nishpava'' (a type of pulses), ''masha, pinyaka'' (oil cake) and ''tila'' oil; lifestyle factors like indulging in day sleep, performing exercise and sex before digestion of the food, disobedience of the seasonal regimens (''ritu vaishamya''), suppression of the natural urges; iatrogenic factors like Improper administration of [[Panchakarma]] measures (''pratikarma vaishamya'') and the psychological factors like affliction of mind with passion, worry, fear, anger, grief are responsible for ''pandu''.

*Person indulging in the habitual consumption of clay (''mrittika'') gets ''dosha'' aggravated according to the taste of mud viz. astringent mud aggravates ''vata'', saline and alkaline mud aggravates ''pitta'' and sweet mud aggravates ''kapha dosha''. These factors cause ''pandu'' by affecting the ''dhatu'' and ''ojas''.

*First principle of management of ''pandu'' is administration of internal oleation (''snehana'') followed by strong (''teekshna'') emetic and purgation therapies for cleansing of the body (''shodhana''). In patients of ''kamala'', mild purgation therapy with bitter drugs is advised.

*Suitable changes (combinations and permutations) in the treatment should be prescribed depending upon the strength of the ''dosha'' in the patient. The therapy should be dominated by unctuous drugs (oil, ghee etc) for ''vatika'' type of ''pandu''; by bitter and cooling drugs for ''paittika'' type and by pungent, bitter and hot drugs for ~~''kaphaja''~~ type of ''pandu''.

*Strong elimination therapy is advised to remove the swallowed mud from the body after considering the strength of the patient. After the body is cleansed, different types of medicated ghee should be prescribed to the patient for promotion of strength.
