High MCV & MCH indicate macrocytosis. The cells are bigger and carry more hemoglobin.

I recently underwent Vamanam, Virechana, and Vasti. Since childhood, I have experienced very poor concentration, difficulty with memory retention (especially verbal), wrinkled and dry skin, continuous gas and bloating. After these three Panchakarma treatments, I felt some improvement, especially in memory retention, though the issue still persists. An allopathy doctor reviewed my blood report and mentioned that I lack certain enzymes and minerals essential for metabolism. He also suggested I may have fatty liver or chronic fatty liver, which could lead to toxins in the blood affecting brain concentration, thinking, and memory. Would undergoing Raktamokshana help me?

Sir, I have been continuously suffering from pain in the back portion of my left foot. After consulting an orthopedic doctor, he suggested a blood test for uric acid and prescribed some medicines. However, after almost two months, I have not fully recovered. Now, my left hand forefingers have also started hurting. I also consulted a urologist, who said my uric acid levels are normal and advised me to get it checked by a neurologist. Kindly suggest the possible remedies for this problem.
