hemoglobin for women - #18163
Doctor, I recently had some blood tests done, and my results showed that my hemoglobin for women was lower than normal. I’ve been feeling unusually tired lately, and I’m worried that this could be a sign of anemia or another underlying health issue. From what I understand, hemoglobin is important for carrying oxygen throughout the body, and low levels can cause fatigue, dizziness, and shortness of breath. I’ve had similar symptoms in the past, but they were never explained. I’m wondering if my diet could be contributing to this issue. I don’t eat a lot of iron-rich foods like spinach, meat, or legumes, and I often skip meals when I’m busy. Could a lack of iron be the reason for my low hemoglobin levels? I’ve heard that Ayurveda views blood health through the lens of Rakta dhatu (the blood tissue), and I’m curious if an imbalance in my Pitta dosha could be causing my symptoms. Could an excess of Pitta lead to low blood or impaired circulation? Are there Ayurvedic herbs or foods that can help boost hemoglobin levels naturally? I’ve heard that Ashwagandha and Punarnava are good for boosting vitality—could they help in my case? What dietary changes or lifestyle adjustments can I make to support healthy blood and improve hemoglobin for women? Should I be eating more iron-rich foods, or are there specific Ayurvedic treatments that would help with my condition?
