Anemia is not in itself a disease, it just gives an indication towards various medical conditions associated with diseases. Anemia refers to a reduction of red blood cell count or decreased haemoglobin level. Since the red cell production is reduced or the red blood cells are destroyed at a high rate, the end result is weakness, fatigue and various other symptoms. Homeopathic remedies provides a complete cure for anemia . The natural Homeopathic medicines are free from any side effects and are very effective in the treatment of Anemia.
Various Causes And Types of Anemia
Haemorrhage: After accidental trauma, heavy bleeding during periods in women or bleeding during childbirth, bleeding in medical conditions like gastric ulcers, inflammatory bowel disease, cancer of gut, parasitic manifestation in gut-like hook worm, Schistosomiasis.
Iron deficiency: Iron Deficiency Anemia is common during pregnancy and lactation and from acute haemorrhage or chronic blood loss. The cause is either a decreased intake of iron rich diet or impaired absorption of iron in the gut.
Deficiency of Vitamin B12 or Folic Acid: It leads to Megaloblastic Anemia.
Pernicious Anemia: This type of Anemia arises from an autoimmune disorder where there is atrophy of gastric mucosa with the resultant decrease in parietal cells and intrinsic factor produced by these cells. Intrinsic factor is required to absorb Vitamin B12. So, in Pernicious Anemia, defective absorption of Vitamin B12 is the cause and not its nutritional deficiency.
Haemolytic Anemia: It is a result of destruction of red blood cells as in malaria, and abnormal red blood cells prone to breakage as in Sickle Cell Anemia.
Thallasemia: An inherited disorder in which the haemoglobin production is impaired.
Symptoms of Anemia
Pallor; weakness or fatigue; vertigo; mouth soreness; difficulty in breathing or shortness of breath; palpitation; jaundice in Haemolytic Anemia; Koilonychia (spoon-shaped nails) in Iron Deficiency Anemia; pica (desire to eat strange indigestible things including chalk, clay, lime, dry rice, etc) in Iron Deficiency Anemia; gastric symptoms (like diarrhoea, nausea and vomiting); tingling and numbness of limbs in Pernicious Anemia.[toc]

Alumina and Calcarea Carb are the natural Homeopathic medicines for anemia that work well to control pica . Alumina is used when a person desires chalk or coffee/tea grounds or dry rice. Constipation is marked along with pica. Calcarea Carb is the Homeopathic medicine recommended when there is a desire for lime, chalk and pencils.

Subject: Request for guidance on anemia treatment
Dear Dr. Sharma,
I have attached my latest test report to this email, which shows that my hemoglobin level is 9, my blood platelet count is 102, and my red blood cell count is also low. My vitamin D and vitamin B12 levels are at the borderline.
I have been taking the supplements as instructed by my current doctor ( iron & vitamin B), but I have noticed very little significant improvement in my symptoms. I still feel very fatigued, and my hands get numb if I keep them idle. I also have difficulty in performing my daily activities, such as running, attending work conferences, and sitting on the floor. I often experience cramps or pain in my back and knees.
I am feeling helpless and frustrated with my condition, and I would appreciate your guidance on how to improve it. Is there anything else I can do besides taking the supplements? Do I need to change my diet or lifestyle? Do I need to undergo any further tests or treatments?
Please let me know what you think and advise me on the next steps. I would be grateful if you could reply to this email as soon as possible, as I am eager to improve my health and well-being.
Thank you for your time and attention.
