Symptoms and Causes of Anemia
Without the adequate oxygen-carrying red blood cells in your body, the correct amount of oxygen cannot be transported to your muscles, tissues, brain, and cells. Among many adults it is common to feel “out of it” due to high levels of stress that come with a heavy work schedule, or lack of sleep and other various life challenges. Therefore, it is important to understand how symptoms of anemia usually manifest and what makes them stand out rather than just feeling exhausted due to everyday life circumstances. The most common symptoms of anemia are fatigue and weakness but many of our patients come in with symptoms such as:
- Pale skin
- Dizziness, lightheadedness
- Headache
- Shortness of breath
- Fast or irregular heartbeat
- Cognitive problems such as brain fog, confusion, difficulty focusing
- Cold hands or feet, or signs of body temperature changes
Your Different Treatment Options
Acupuncture
Acupuncture is a form of alternative medicine where sterilized needles are inserted into your acupressure points to create more energy flow in your body.* Acupuncture can help alleviate stress and help to enhance the levels of iron in the blood. The unique acupuncture points for anemia, when done correctly, can provide relief for patients with anemia disorders.*
Herbal Therapy
At Sophia Natural Health, we use custom herbal remedies to help treat anemia as well as other conditions.* If you are suffering with anemia, making holistic changes can greatly benefit you. You may also begin by taking a B vitamin complex supplement that includes folate. Anemia is also closely related to the spleen and certain herbs that support the spleen include the ginseng. Ginseng is an herb that is known to lower cortisol and helps your body to deal with stress. Our knowledgeable herbal specialists will work individually with each of our patients to help find the right herbal treatment for your specific condition to help reduce the symptoms caused by anemia.*
Dietary Therapy
One way that you can potentially relieve the symptoms of anemia is to change up your lifestyle and/or diet and nutrition. Here at Sophia Natural Health we provide coaching to help change your diet to help relieve your symptoms of anemia. In order to relieve symptoms of anemia it is important to eat a healthy, unprocessed diet. Some of the best foods to include in your diet to help with anemia include: foods high in Vitamin C, green leafy vegetables, liver, natural sweeteners, and much more.
