How Homeopathy Can Help Treat Anemia?

In this fast-moving world, everyone is so busy that it's hard to take self-care. People give less importance to what they eat, when they sleep and so on. Conditions such as anaemia have become very common, and we still neglect knowingly and unknowingly. You tend to find quick alternatives. Homoeopathy is the alternative for such a condition.

Understand Anemia: If hemoglobin (that carries oxygen throughout the body) count is less in red blood cells, such condition is known as anaemia. Body doesn't receive enough oxygen, thereby leading to weakness and fatigue. Anaemia can affect all age groups; from kids to elders.

Apart from poor diet, certain anaemic conditions could be hereditary, which are beyond one's control. Women who are of childbearing age tend to be anaemic due to menstruation.

Causes and Types:

• Accidental blood loss, child birth or medical conditions such as gastric ulcer lead to haemorrhage, which ultimately lead to anaemia.
• Iron deficiency during pregnancy, poor diet or haemorrhage may cause anaemia
• Megaloblastic anaemia occurs due to deficiency of Vitamin B12 (Folic Acid).
• Pernicious anaemia occurs due to autoimmune disorder. One is unable to absorb Vitamin B12 adequately.
• Hemolytic anaemia is caused to destruction of red blood cells during ill health conditions such as in malaria or due to irregular red blood cells such as in Sickle-Cell Anemia.
• In a condition where haemoglobin production is impaired due to hereditary disorder, it is called Thallasemia.
