This is a living page, not an extensive list, just the remedies I’ve come across so far for this ailment. I’m always learning, so I’ll keep adding as I discover more.



Anemia is a condition when the amount of oxygen carried by the blood is decreased due to either a reduction in red blood cells or hemoglobin in the blood. Without the proper amount of oxygen to deliver to cells around the body all activity will be slowed down resulting in weakness and fatigue, breathlessness, pale skin and lips, headaches, dizziness and a host of other symptoms and conditions. The most common cause is a lack of iron and other minerals which can result from blood loss, poor diet, and failure of the body to absorb minerals and nutrients. 


 

 

After addressing diet and gut health you can "feed" the blood with food and herbs.

 


Mineral rich herbs usually have deep roots that pull iron and other minerals from the earth. The plant processes the minerals so that the body can absorb them through the leaf or root. Synthetic supplements have a hard time being absorbed into the body and can even cause heavy metal build up. Other plants help build blood in the body and are filled with a variety of vitamins and minerals. All these herbs will help to build and nourish the blood.

  • Dandelion

  • Thyme

  • Alfalfa

  • Nettles

  • Raspberry leaf

  • Yellow dock root

Food rich in iron

  • Legumes

  • Pumpkin seeds, sesame seeds, hemp seeds and flaxseeds

Be mindful of the emotion, be specific in where it is attached, it’s okay to feel this way but then it must be let go. Hand it over to the Savior, it is now His to take care of.

  • Feelings of total helplessness
