Convolvulus prostratus (also known as Shankhpushpi) is an herb commonly used in traditional Ayurvedic medicine, primarily for its reputed effects on cognitive function, stress relief, and as a nervine tonic. Its use for the management or treatment of anemia is not a prominent or well-documented aspect of traditional usage. However, some traditional texts and ethnobotanical surveys have mentioned it as a "rasayana" (rejuvenative) herb that could theoretically support general health, which might be loosely extrapolated to include blood health or anemia. There is little direct reference in classical Ayurvedic literature or major ethnobotanical compilations to Convolvulus prostratus being specifically indicated for anemia.

From a scientific perspective, there is currently no published clinical or preclinical research substantiating its use in the treatment of anemia. No studies have demonstrated that it increases hemoglobin, stimulates erythropoiesis, or provides significant amounts of iron or other hematinic nutrients. The evidence, therefore, does not support its use in anemia beyond very general traditional claims of "tonic" or "rejuvenative" effects, which are not anemia-specific. Thus, its use for anemia is justified mainly by weak traditional rationale rather than scientific validation.
