ABSTRACT
Aplastic Anemia (AA) is a rare bone marrow failure syndrome caused by the immune system attacking early blood-forming cells. Despite progress in modern medicine, the exact cause and best treatment for AA remain unclear. This case study examines a 38-year-old male with severe Aplastic Anemia who experienced a relapse after initial immuno-suppressive therapy (IST). He was then managed with an integrative approach, incorporating Ayurvedic medicines, specific yogasanas (yogic postures), pranayamas (breathing exercises), and a personalized diet plan. The patient showed remarkable recovery, with stabilized hemoglobin levels, normalized biochemical parameters, and no signs of carcinoma or other complications. The holistic regimen supported his metabolic health, improved nutrient absorption, and enhanced blood cell production. This case suggests that combining Ayurvedic medicine with naturopathic therapies and yogic practices can offer a comprehensive, effective approach to managing Aplastic Anemia, leading to faster recovery and improved quality of life. This integrative therapy could provide a promising alternative for AA patients, especially those who relapse after conventional treatments. Further research is warranted to explore its broader application and efficacy.
