This guide lists homeopathic medicines that are commonly considered for anaemia, along with the symptom picture usually associated with each one.

About anaemia
Anaemia means that the blood has too little haemoglobin to carry oxygen to the tissues; it is commonly defined as below 13 g/dL in men and 12 g/dL in women (11 g/dL in pregnancy). Iron deficiency is the most frequent cause in India, from a diet low in iron, heavy periods, piles, worm infestation or slow bleeding from the gut, while a lack of vitamin B12 or folate (common in vegetarians), long-term illness, thalassaemia and other blood disorders are other causes. Symptoms include tiredness, pallor, breathlessness on exertion, palpitations, dizziness, headaches, hair fall, brittle nails and, sometimes, a craving to eat clay or ice. A complete blood count with iron studies, ferritin and vitamin B12 show the type and cause, and the cause must be treated as well as the haemoglobin. Iron-rich foods (green leafy vegetables, pulses, jaggery, dates, meat) taken with vitamin C help, while tea and coffee with meals reduce absorption. Black stools, chest pain or severe breathlessness need urgent attention.
