Home remedies for anemia
Anemia is one of the most common dietary deficiencies around the globe. The literal meaning of Anemia is ‘without blood’ and it refers to the deficiency of hemoglobin content in the blood. Hemoglobin is a molecule that is found in the red blood cells and is responsible for the transport of oxygen from the lungs to the tissues. Thus, anemia can result in the deprivation of oxygen in various body organs, thereby causing poor functioning of the respiratory system.
The symptoms of anemia are fatigue, depression, headaches, low libido, bruising, rapid heart beat, inability to concentrate, pale or yellow skin, cramps in the leg, vertigo, shortness of breath, bruising and insomnia. There are various types of anemia that can be caused by several factors such as deficiency of iron, alcoholism, hemorrhage, deficiency of vitamin B-12 or folic acid or vitamin C, thyroid disorders, lead toxicity, excessive loss of blood or infectious disease.
