Effective Folk Remedies for Treating Anemia Naturally

Folk Remedies for Treating Anemia

Hello, dear readers. Today, I want to share some folk remedies for treating anemia. I believe this is an issue many people face, especially women during pregnancy. Folk methods often provide positive results without the need for medication, except in cases where hemoglobin levels are critically low, and medical intervention is essential.

Anemia is a condition characterized by a decrease in the concentration of hemoglobin and red blood cells in the blood, leading to oxygen deprivation of the cells. Red blood cells (erythrocytes) contain hemoglobin, whose primary function is to transport oxygen to all organs and tissues in the body. When hemoglobin levels drop, our cells and tissues don’t receive enough oxygen. This can cause dizziness, low blood pressure, fatigue, constant drowsiness, pale skin, increased heart rate, sticky sweat, and a weak pulse.

Causes of Anemia

1. Blood loss due to hemorrhoids, stomach ulcers, or heavy menstrual bleeding.
2. Vegetarian diets lacking protein.

Folk Treatments for Anemia

The first step in addressing anemia is reviewing your diet. Include the following in your meals: veal, pork, and liver. Eat pomegranates, carrots, pumpkins, and corn. Drink carrot, beetroot, and pomegranate juices.

Juice Remedy

Prepare this juice blend:

• Take half a cup of carrot juice and half a cup of beetroot juice.
• Mix the juices and add one tablespoon of natural honey.
• Drink this mixture half a cup at a time, three times a day before meals.

Rosehip Infusion

Rosehip infusion is another effective remedy. It is best prepared in a thermos:

1. Take a handful of rosehips and pour half a liter of boiling water over them.
2. Close the thermos and let it steep for 6–8 hours.
3. Strain the infusion and drink half a cup three times a day.

You can add honey to the infusion for taste. This drink tones the body and works well for anemia. However, it’s important to drink rosehip infusion through a straw or rinse your mouth with plain water afterward to protect your teeth.

Dried Fruit and Nut Mixture

Prepare a nutritious mixture using dried fruits:

• You’ll need dried apricots, raisins, prunes, cranberries, and walnuts.
• Grind everything in a meat grinder or blender.
• Mix the dried fruit with a cup of honey.

Consume one tablespoon of this mixture three times a day before meals.

Personal Experience

Personally, veal kebabs and cutlets helped me increase my hemoglobin levels significantly. During pregnancy, my hemoglobin dropped, and my gynecologist advised me to eat meat rather than rely on tablets. The meat should be slightly undercooked (e.g., in kebab or cutlet form). Fried liver is also excellent for boosting hemoglobin levels.

Eat plenty of carrots and beets in any form—boiled, stewed, or roasted. For better absorption of vitamin A, pair these vegetables with a small amount of fat, such as sour cream or vegetable oil.

Blueberry Infusion

A blueberry infusion is also beneficial:

1. Take one tablespoon of ripe blueberries.
2. Pour a cup of boiling water over them.
3. Let the infusion steep for 20 minutes.

Drink ¼ cup of this blueberry infusion three times a day.

Now you know about folk remedies for treating anemia. With these methods, you can raise your hemoglobin levels without medication.
