Anaemia treatment using Lettuce
Lettuce is another effective remedy for this ailment as it contains a considerable
amount of iron. It can, therefore, be used as a good tonic food for anaemia. The
iron in it is easily absorbed by the body.
Anaemia treatment using Spinach
This leafy vegetable is a valuable source of high grade iron. After its absorption,
it helps in the formation of haemoglobin and red blood cells. It is thus beneficial in
building up the blood, and in the prevention and treatment of anaemia.
Anaemia treatment using Soyabean
Soyabean is rich in iron and also has a high protein value. As most anaemic
patients usually also suffer from a weak digestion, it should be given to them in a
very light form, preferably in the form of milk, which can be easily digested.
Anaemia treatment using Almonds
Almonds contain copper to the extent of 1.15 mg per 100 gm. The copper along
with iron and vitamins, acts as a catalyst in the synthesis of haemoglobin.
Almonds are, therefore, a useful remedy for anaemia. Seven almonds should be
soaked in water for about two hours and ground into a paste after removing the
thin red skin. This paste may be eaten once daily in the morning for three
months.
Anaemia treatment using Sesame Seeds
Black sesame seeds, as a rich source of iron, are valuable in anaemia. After
soaking one teaspoon of the seeds in warm water for a couple of hours, they
should be ground and strained, and then mixed with a cup of milk and sweetened
with jaggery or sugar. This emulsion should be given to patients suffering from
anaemia.
Anaemia treatment using Honey
Honey is remarkable for building haemoglobin in the body. This is largely due to
the iron, copper, and manganese contained in it
Anaemia treatment using Other Foods
There are several other foods which are rich sources of iron and can be used
beneficially in the treatment of anaemia. The more important of these are
bananas, black grapes, plums, strawberries, raisins, onions, squash, carrots,
radish, celery, and tomatoes.
