3 medicines for Anemia

Ferrum metallicum- It is a great homeopathic remedy for anemia, but it will not cure every case of anemia; careful individualization is necessary. When the patient has an appearance of full bloodedness or plethora, which is followed by a paleness or earthiness of the face and puffiness of the extremities, then ferrum met will benefit.

Cinchona- It is a very useful remedy for anemia resulting from loss of fluids, as in lactation or hemorrhage or from all exhausting discharges, such as menstrual flow, long lasting diarrhea and sexual excesses and loss of semen. Its symptoms are heaviness of the head, loss of sight, fainting and ringing in the ears, pale shallow complexion, sour belching, poor digestion and bloated abdomen. The patient is sensitive to draughts of air yet wants to be fanned.

Natrum Mur- This is one of our best remedies in anemic conditions. There is paleness, and in spite of the fact that the patient eats well, there is emaciation. There are attacks of throbbing headache and dyspnoea, especially on going upstairs, constipation and depression of spirits, and consolation aggravates. With these symptoms there is much palpitation, fluttering and intermittent action of the heart. Scanty menstruation is frequently an indicating symptom.
