A simple remedy to increase your haemoglobin ! Just 3 ingredients

 Drumstick is a wonder tree like Neem. But unlike neem, almost every part of the tree can be used. The leaves can be mixed with cooked dal to make a good vege. It can be made as dry accompaniment or can be made as a gravy by adding ground coconut along with roasted chana and urad dal along with dry red chilies to taste.

Recently I read that the drumstick leaves when boiled along with curry leaves, when drunk it increases your haemoglobin ! Well, I had to try for hubby as his haemoglobin was 10. But, when I made the drink, I also decided to have it, as my hb was 11, earlier it used to be 12+. It was really surprising that after drinking a glass of the juice just for 2 days, my hb has increased to 12.

INGREDIENTS

drumstick leaves  1 tbsp

curry leaves  1 tbsp

water 250 ml

METHOD

wash the leaves well.

add the leaves to a pan, pour water.

let it boil, once it boils, simmer for a minute.

switch off the gas, keep it covered for 10 minutes

you may strain and drink the juice or you can drink along with the few leaves as they come in your glass.

This drink also helps for hair fall I read, that I've to check for myself.

curry leaves are rich in Vitamin E, which unfortunately we all discard when the leaves are put whole in the dish. I used to finely chop the leaves and use to get the vitamin, as it is good for hair and skin !

Know how you can naturally increase your haemoglobin levels at home; read what expert says

When the number of red blood cells in the body are low or more importantly the haemoglobin concentration within them is lower than normal, it results in a condition called anaemia. The common symptoms of anaemia which occur due to a decreased capacity of the blood to carry oxygen are fatigue, generalised weakness, dizziness, shortness of breath. 

The most common causes of anaemia are nutritional deficiencies particularly iron deficiency anaemia, or due to deficiency of vitamin B12 and folic acid. Women of reproductive age who have excessive bleeding during their menstrual cycles may develop iron deficiency anaemia. Some of the good sources of iron among plant-based foods are pumpkin seeds,  green leafy vegetables like spinach, whole grains and legumes such as beans, lentils, chickpeas, peas, and soybeans. Food rich in Vitamin C like citrus fruits also help in improving iron absorption.

Those who follow a predominantly vegetarian diet may also develop Vitamin B12 deficiency which can lead to anaemia and hence may need vitamin b12 supplements. Folic acid is another vitamin that if deficient can lead to low levels of haemoglobin. Some of the good sources of folic acid are beans, lentils, leafy vegetables, bananas, broccoli, beetroot. It is important to incorporate a healthy balanced diet with enough water intake.

 

Another important aspect to keep in mind is that Anaemia can occur due to inherited genetic conditions, which can affect the production of haemoglobin in the body by either causing a defect in the structure or its function- a condition known as haemoglobinopathies such as Thalassemia, Sickle cell anaemia, etc. 

New-onset anaemia in the elderly especially should prompt evaluation for any underlying cancers. Elderly people who present with iron deficiency anaemia should be evaluated with endoscopies to rule out internal bleeding in the Gastrointestinal tract which can occur due to cancers.

Myelodysplastic syndromes wherein there is an abnormality in the production of the blood also presents as anaemia most often in the elderly. Anaemia is also seen as a presenting feature of Multiple Myeloma, a type of blood cancer that causes destruction of bones, elevated calcium levels and kidney failure. And lastly, when there is low haemoglobin associated with grossly elevated white blood cell counts or lymph node swellings in the body or enlargement of the spleen in the body, it should prompt for evaluation of blood cancers such as leukaemia/lymphoma.

One should not forget that anaemia occurs in the presence of an underlying chronic disease such as Tuberculosis, HIV, autoimmune disorders like rheumatoid arthritis, and Chronic Kidney disease. It is therefore important to be aware of other causes of anaemia and one should not ignore it and have it evaluated completely with necessary blood investigations and imaging as required by the treating physician.
