Not known!: In saptamrita lauha as in many other herbal supplements, there are not enough research available to confirm or refute its effectiveness. In uncommon diseases such as sickle cell retinopathy- related vitreous hemorrhage, conducting such a research is difficult to conduct.

Adjunct only: You would be making a terrible mistake to rely only on a "traditional herb" for such a serious illness. Start with evidence-based treatment that is your right in the 21st century.
