ferrous sulphate tablets - #19241

Anonymously

For the past few months, I’ve been dealing with low energy levels and occasional dizziness. When I went to the doctor, they ran a blood test and told me I have mild anemia due to iron deficiency. They prescribed ferrous sulphate tablets, but after taking them for a couple of weeks, I started experiencing digestive issues like bloating, nausea, and constipation. I know iron is important for health, but these side effects are making it difficult for me to continue the supplements. I started looking for natural alternatives and came across Ayurveda, which emphasizes balancing nutrients through diet and herbs. Does Ayurveda recommend taking ferrous sulphate tablets, or does it suggest other ways to boost iron levels? If so, what are the best Ayurvedic herbs or foods that help with iron absorption? I also read that just taking iron supplements isn’t enough if digestion is weak. Could poor digestion be affecting how my body processes iron? Does Ayurveda offer any treatments to strengthen digestion and naturally improve iron absorption so that I don’t have to rely on ferrous sulphate tablets? Another thing that concerns me is whether my diet is affecting my iron levels. I usually drink tea in the morning, and I heard that tea and dairy can block iron absorption. Is this true? What foods should I avoid or include to make sure my body gets enough iron? I also feel more fatigued than before, even though I thought taking iron would help increase my energy. Could this mean my body isn’t processing the ferrous sulphate tablets effectively? Does Ayurveda have an explanation for why this might be happening? I would prefer a natural approach to maintaining healthy iron levels. What Ayurvedic treatments, herbs, or dietary changes can help me avoid the side effects of ferrous sulphate tablets while still improving my iron levels?
