A normal platelet count ranges from 150,000 to 450,000 platelets per microliter of blood. If the number drops to around 55, what would you advice to increase it?
At this level the patient needs to be transfused with Platelets rich plasma. Also there should be improved dieting for the patient to build the haematopoietic activity generally.
Emmanuel Ifeanyi Obeagu Thank you for the reply. Can you suggest what sort of diet would help improve the haematopoietic activity?

I use Homeopathic medicines to increase platelets count in my practice.
Ahmed T. Hussein Sir
In India oral administration of papaya leaf extract is a popular remedy to increase blood platelet counts in Dengue fever.
Thanks!
Ahmed T. Hussein Taking certain foods may help increase the platelet count, e.g.
★ pumpkin;
★ pomegranate ;
★ papaya leaf extract ;
★ raisins ;
★ spinach ;
★ milk ;
★ eggs ;
★ peanuts;
★ lentils ;
★ beef liver etc
Dear Dr Ghulam Yaseen, would you please share any authentic evidence to justify the use of homeopathy to increase platelet count?
Dear Ahmed T. Hussein, please have a look at the attached document entitled, "New-generation drugs that stimulate platelet production in chronic immune thrombocytopenic purpura."
Dear Ahmed T. Hussein, you may also look through the attached article on "Stimulating Platelet Production to Raise Platelet Count in Immune Thrombocytopenic Purpura: A Novel Approach."
Transfussion with platelets rich plasma will be good. Also, protein intake of about 45 grams per day for women and 55 grams per day for men can equally help the bone marrow.
Dear Dr. Ahmed T. Hussein , Thank you for this interesting question.
Let me share our experience.
In India, the people suffering from Dengue, used to take papaya leaf juice (as fresh) or papaya leaf tea ( papaya leaf used instead of tea leaf)- this is in addition to normal medical treatment.
Though the platelet count comes down, it never goes down to the extent of a life threatening situation.
Personally, I used to take once in a while - when I have body pain - it acts as a natural pain killer.
Report:
It has been proved both in modern medicine and Ayurveda that papaya leaf juice is beneficial. 30ml of fresh papaya leaf juice helps in increasing the platelet count and, therefore, in the treatment of dengue.
