During the critical phase of Dengue, malaria, chikungunya that thrombocytopenia is characterized by a decrease in platelet count below 1,00,000 permm³ from the baseline.

How it can be addressed?

Thrombocytopenia occurs majorly in patient’s incident with various dreadful bacterial and viral infections.

• There are no effective methods to treat thrombocytopenia. Transfusions, growth factor injections and bone marrow transplant have their limitations.

Carica Papaya (Papita) leaf contains various bioactive constituents like saponins, tannins & glycosides, act on bone marrow, prevent its destruction & enhance its ability to produce platelets, (PLT) count, white blood cells (WBC) and neutrophils in blood. Increased platelets could lead to reduced bleeding, thus avoiding progression to the severe illness of Dengue haemorrhagic fever.

Tinospora cordifolia (Giloe) stem has an amazing role in strengthening our natural immune system by helping the White Blood Cell count to increase in the body. This action of Giloe as a major immunity booster is very remedial especially during the dengue spell. In dengue, immune power is very weak. Giloe boost immunity in dengue fever.
