Causes, Signs And Symptoms,Prevention And Treatment Of Anaemia(Lack of blood)

Anaemia means deficiency of lack of blood, but it is generally use to describe people who do not have enough red blood cell in their blood stream.There are many types of anaemia, but in India, mostly in women, the cause of anaemia is commonly iron deficiency and almost 20% of India women suffer from anaemia.

Causes of anaemia: Bleeding such as heavy periods in women is the main cause of anaemia in women. It may also be as a result of excessive destruction of red blood cells in the body so that the bone marrow cannot produce enough to replace those that are lost. Another cause of red blood cell deficiency could be insufficient production of RBCs due to many factors. Iron deficiency anaemia is caused by a shortage of iron, a vital component for RBC production. Vitamin deficiency anaemia is caused by inadequate supply of vitamin B12 and folic acid.



Signs & Symptoms: Anaemics feel particularly tired because the body is not getting enough oxygen for routine needs. The skin tends to lose its healthy bloom, and the face becomes pale. In severe cases, the person will  also be short of breath and the ankles may swell.


Herbal medicine dosage: The best remedy is to adjust diet. Eat a nutritious and well balanced diet. Meat, especially kidney and liver and diary products are rich in iron and vitamin B12 Folic acid is found in green vegetables.

Things to be avoided: Sour things, like curd and fried items should not be taken.
