Hello Rashmi, what are your hemoglobin levels and Iron levels?
In Ayurveda, non-anemic iron deficiency is often linked to poor digestion (Agni) and the body's inability to absorb nutrients effectively. To address this, Ayurveda focuses on improving digestion and enhancing iron absorption through herbal remedies and dietary changes. Lohasava (15 ml twice after meals) and Punarnava Mandur (2 tabs after meals, twice) are recommended to boost iron levels and support digestion, while Triphala, Shatavari, and Ashwagandha help improve nutrient absorption and overall vitality. A diet rich in iron, including foods like beetroot, pomegranate, spinach, sesame seeds, and dates, is advised. Cooking in iron utensils and avoiding tea, coffee, and dairy with meals can further enhance iron absorption. Strengthening digestion with warm, easy-to-digest meals and spices like ginger, cumin, and black pepper is essential. Incorporating regular physical activity and pranayama (e.g., Bhastrika or Kapalbhati) can also improve metabolism and iron uptake, providing a holistic approach to treating non-anemic iron deficiency.

Begin with dietary modifications to enhance iron intake. Incorporate iron-rich foods such as dark leafy greens (like spinach and kale), legumes (lentils and chickpeas), nuts (especially cashews and almonds), seeds (pumpkin and sunflower seeds), and whole grains (quinoa and brown rice). Including fruits high in vitamin C, such as oranges, strawberries, and guavas, can enhance iron absorption when consumed alongside iron-rich foods.
From an Ayurvedic perspective, consider herbal formulations like Shatavari and Ashwagandha. Shatavari is known for its nourishing properties and can help support overall vitality, while Ashwagandha is an adaptogen that can enhance energy levels and improve overall well-being. You may also benefit from Triphala, which aids in digestion and absorption of nutrients, including iron.
In addition, incorporating Ginger and Turmeric in your diet can support digestion and enhance overall health. You might also explore Iron-rich herbal tonics such as Lohasava or Dhatri Lauha, which are specifically designed to improve iron levels in the body.
Hydration is also important; drinking plenty of water and herbal teas can aid in digestion and nutrient absorption. Regular physical activity, like yoga or walking, can further enhance circulation and energy levels. Lastly, ensure you have regular follow-ups with a healthcare provider to monitor your iron levels and overall health.
