Description: Anemia may be defined as a condition in which there is a decrease in the quantity of hemoglobin or in the number of red cells. Anemia is among the most common ailments affecting human beings.
Nearly half the blood flowing in our veins and arteries consists of red blood cells which carry oxygen to the tissues.
Approximately one trillion or 100 million new blood cells are formed daily in the bone marrow. The raw materials required in the production of these cells are iron, proteins, and vitamins, especially folic acid and B12. Of these, iron and proteins are essential in building up the red colorings matter called hemoglobin. A red cell has a lifespan of approximately one hundred and twenty days and is then destroyed and replaced. Each person should have about 15 gm of hemoglobin per 100 ml of blood, and a blood count of approximately five million red cells per millimeter of blood.
The patient usually complains of weakness, fatigue, lack of energy, and dizziness. Other symptoms include a haggard look, premature wrinkles, dull and tired looking eyes, poor memory, shortness of breath on exertion, headache, slow healing of wounds, and palpitations. The skin and mucous membranes look pale.
A diminished formation of red blood cells in the bone marrow, either due to defects in the bone marrow, or due to an inadequate intake of iron, vitamins, and proteins, is one of the main causes of anemia. Other important causes are heavy loss of blood due to injury, bleeding piles, or excessive menstruation in women.
Anemia can also occur due to a lack of hydrochloric acid in the stomach, which is needed for digestion of iron and proteins, or Intestinal parasites or worms. Hookworms, pin worms, round worms and tape worms feed on the supply of blood as well as on the vitamins.
Directions For Use: Add 2 tablespoons of ground orange peel, 1/2 teaspoon of ground ginger, and 2 tablespoons of chamomile to 2 cups of boiling water. Steep until cool. Strain, and add to 1 cup of brandy. Dosage is 1/2 cup in the morning and again in the evening.
