Hi, I am also on the recovery process from a very low hb level of 4.5. I had no symptoms absolutely. From 4.5 to 7.2 in 25 days was a really too quick a recovery process for me. But then I was at home on leave - so everyday I had, apart from iron pills the follg juice and I think this alone and not pills helped me. A combination of raw well washed and scraped beetroot, a generous handful bunch of palak, coriander, mint and curry leaves, one small piece of ginger, one amla, few soaked dates, one tbspn of honey, 2 spoons of powdered jaggery - all blended well and strained to a container full of iron rich juice. This I would keep in the fridge and have twice daily. This was suggested by my SIL.

Apart from this, I used to have beetroot/carrot/any greens in turns for lunch. Now I feel better. Though I travel a long distance for job, I do not feel tired and come back fresh. But nowadays, since the time I resumed duty, I do not find time to have this juice. Had I continued, my hb would have reached 12 or 13. Moreover since I still have my monthly cycles prompt and heavy, I think it is difficult to maintain the hb increase.

Even raisins - dry grapes are good.

Hi Mallika,

Even I am Anaemic since years and my HB count is also low since years.
Recently when I was diagnosed with Slip Disc due to lower back pain, my doctor asked for various test.
Reports are as follows :
Vitamin D3 - below 4.0 ng/ml and reqd is 30 to 100 ng/ml
Calicum deficiency due to above
Iron deficiency due to Vitamin D3
HB - 9.05 grams % and reqd is 11.5 to 16.0 grams %

So my question is the above juice which you said, can that be taken in the summer ?

I had low blood count as well.So I started taking apricots,dates and figs and gradually my count increased.Take plenty of green leafy vegetables.Pomegranate is good.So is jaggery,black raisins.
You can even take sesame seeds urundai.It has high iron content.
