Natural Home Remedies for the Treatment of Anemia.

1. The cause of anemia needs to be identified and treated. Certain naturally occurring foods help more than others do. For the healthy formation of red blood cells, the body needs protein, iron and trace elements. Whole grain wheat, rice and other cereals in a vegetarian diet take care of protein needs. It is iron and trace elements which are neglected.

2. Almonds are a rich source of iron and trace elements. Soak 8-10 almonds overnight. Next morning peel the almonds, grind them coarsely, mix with a glass of hot milk, add honey or jaggery to taste, and have it as a nutritious morning drink instead of tea. Tea interferes with the absorption of iron, and jaggery is a rich source of iron with some vitamin-B complex too. If you do not like the taste of jaggery in milk, replace it with honey.

3. Pistachio is another nut which is extremely rich in iron. In fact, Punjabis and Gujarat is are very fond of milk flavored with ground masala which contains a mixture of 2-3 almonds, 2-3 pistachos, 2-3 strands of saffron, a pinch each of green cardamom, nutmeg and cinnamon powders. This is a very nourishing nightcap, which ensures a soothing and restful sleep.

4. Another healthy drink to be taken during the day, especially in summer, is half a cup of fresh pomegranate juice with a pinch of ground cinnamon powder and a teaspoon of honey once a day. A teaspoon of ground pomegranate seeds can also be had with a cup of milk. It is nourishing and energising.
