Hello Mona Thank you for sharing your concerns in detail. Your symptoms of tiredness, laziness, weakness even with simple activities, and a haemoglobin level of 9.6 g/dL point towards iron-deficiency anemia, most likely caused by heavy and frequent periods over the past 3 months, along with a vegetarian diet for the last 4 years. This has led to depletion of iron stores and reduced blood strength (Rakta dhatu kshaya).

Ayurveda explains this as an imbalance of Pitta (excess bleeding) and Vata (fatigue, weakness), leading to Dhatu kshaya (tissue depletion). The approach will be to:

1. Stop or reduce further blood loss, 2. Restore iron and blood strength, 3. Support digestion to improve absorption of nutrients.

🔹 Recommended Investigations

1. CBC (Complete Blood Count) – to confirm severity of anemia. 2. Serum Ferritin – to assess iron stores. 3. Vitamin B12 & Folate levels – to rule out combined deficiencies. 4. Thyroid profile (TSH, T3, T4) – to check hormonal balance. 5. Gynecologist evaluation – to address heavy menstrual bleeding.

🔹 Internal Medicines

Stage 1 – Iron & Blood Replenishment (First 4 weeks)

1. Punarnava Mandur – 2 tabs twice daily after meals (improves Hb, reduces weakness). 2. Dhatri Loha – 1 tab twice daily after meals (natural iron + Vitamin C source). 3. Drakshavaleha – 1 tsp at night with warm water (nourishes blood, improves energy).

Stage 2 – Long-term Blood & Cycle Regulation (From week 5 onwards)

1. Ashokarishta – 20 ml with equal water after meals (balances menstrual cycle, reduces heavy bleeding). 2. Lauh Bhasma – 125 mg with honey once daily (iron-rich, improves Rakta dhatu). 3. Shatavari Kalpa – 1 tsp in warm milk (or almond milk) morning & evening (strengthens female reproductive health, balances Pitta).

🔹 External & Supportive Practices

1.Abhyanga (oil massage) with sesame or dhanwantaram oil over legs & back, 15 min before bath – reduces fatigue, strengthens body. 2.Hot water bag fomentation over abdomen during periods if cramps or excessive bleeding. 3.Gentle yoga asanas: Shavasana, Balasana, Supta Baddha Konasana for relaxation.

🔹 Diet & Lifestyle Tips

Avoid:

1. Tea, coffee, excess spicy/fried food (blocks iron absorption). 2. Curd, sour food during night (worsens bleeding tendency). 3. Excessive fasting or skipping meals.

Include:

1. Iron-rich foods: spinach, moringa, amaranth, methi, beetroot, jaggery, dates, raisins, figs, sesame seeds. 2. Vitamin C sources (amla, lemon, orange, guava, tomato) with meals for better iron absorption. 3. Moong dal, khichdi, red rice, drumstick leaves soup. 4. Warm milk with turmeric or almond milk with jaggery at night. 5. Plenty of seasonal fruits – pomegranate, papaya, ripe banana.

Lifestyle:

1. Maintain regular meal timings, avoid eating late at night. 2. Practice Anulom Vilom pranayama (10 min daily). 3. Ensure 7–8 hrs of sleep, avoid stress. 4. Rest adequately during periods.

🔹 Follow-up

Recheck Hb & Ferritin after 6–8 weeks of treatment.

Continue medicines and diet for at least 3–4 months for complete replenishment.

Regular follow-up with gynecologist for menstrual cycle regulation.

With consistent treatment, your haemoglobin levels will gradually rise, fatigue will reduce, and energy will be restored.

​A hemoglobin level of 9.6 g/dL is considered low and is a key indicator of anemia, which directly explains your symptoms of fatigue and low energy. The significant blood loss from your heavy and frequent periods, combined with a vegetarian diet, likely caused the drop in your hemoglobin. ​To naturally increase your hemoglobin levels, you can follow an Ayurvedic approach that focuses on a balanced diet rich in iron, improving digestion, and lifestyle changes. Here’s what you can do.
​Diet and Nutrition ​In Ayurveda, low hemoglobin is often linked to a deficiency in Rakta Dhatu (blood tissue) and an imbalance of Pitta Dosha. Here’s a list of foods to incorporate into your diet:

Diet and Nutrition Dark leafy greens like spinach and kale ​Beetroot: Known as a powerful blood builder. You can consume it as a juice or a salad.

Pomegranate: This fruit is excellent for improving blood quality and circulation ​Dates and figs: These dried fruits are a concentrated source of iron.

​Legumes: Lentils, chickpeas, and beans are all good sources of iron.
Vitamin C-rich foods: Vitamin C enhances iron absorption. ​Consume citrus fruits, bell peppers, and broccoli with your meals.

Spices: ​Black sesame seeds: A potent source of iron.
​Fenugreek seeds: Can be soaked overnight and consumed in the morning.
​Turmeric: Enhances blood purification. ​Ginger: Helps in improving digestion.

Sweeteners: ​Use jaggery (gur) instead of white sugar, especially when making sweets or drinks with iron-rich ingredients.

Avoid certain foods: ​Excessive coffee or tea: They can inhibit iron absorption.

​Dairy: Avoid consuming milk or cheese immediately after a meal, as calcium can interfere with iron absorption.

​Processed foods and white sugar: They deplete the body of nutrients. Mindful eating:

​Eat at regular times. ​Chew your food properly to improve digestion and nutrient absorption. ​Avoid eating when you are not hungry

Additional Recommendations

​Yoga and exercise: Gentle yoga poses and light exercises can improve circulation and stimulate the organs responsible for blood production. Poses like Viparita Karani (Legs-Up-the-Wall) can be very beneficial

HELLO MONA,

-Your hemoglobin is 9.6 g/dL. Normal range for women is 12-15 g/dL. -Hemoglobin is a protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen. When it’s low, your body doesn’t get enough oxygen-> leading to fatigue, laziness, breathlessness , weakness, dizziness. -Main reason in your case: heavy and frequent menstrual bleeding+ vegetarian diet lacking iron and b12

AYURVEDIC PERSESPECTIVE -This condition is described as pandu roga in Ayurveda -causes= agni (digestivefire) weakness-> poor absorption of nutrients , rakta dhatu depletion -also pitta aggravation leads to excessive bleeding

TREATMENT GOALS -Stop/reduce heavy menstrual bleeding (to prevent further blood loss) -rebuild and nourish blood (rakta dhatu)-> increase hemoglobin -correct digestion and absorption so iron-rich foods are better utilized -improve strength and energy (bala,ojas) -prevent recurrence

INTERNAL MEDICATIONS

1) PUNARNAVA MANDUR= 250 mg, 2 tabs twice daily after meals =improves haemoglobin, removes toxins, supports liver function

2) DHATRI LAUHA= 250 mg twice daily with honey =classical iron formulation, increases hemoglobin

3) LOHASAVA= 20 ml with equal water after meals twice daily =iron rich liquid tonic, helps in anemia, improves digestion

4) ASHOKARISHTA= 20 ml with equal water after meals twice daily =regulates excessive menstrual bleeding, balances hormones, strengthens uterus

5) AMALAKI RASAYANA= 1 tsp daily in mroning =natural vitamin c source, enhances iron absorption, improves immunity

DURATION= Minimum 3 months

DIET

IRON-RICH VEGETARIAN SOURCES -Leafy greens= spinach, drum stick leaves, methi, bathua, moringa -Black sesame seeds, jaggery, dates, raisins, figs -lentils= massor, moong, chana, kidney beans, chickpeas -ragi, bajra, red rice -beetroot, carrot, pomegranate, apple

ENHANCES ABSORPTION WITH VITAMIN C -amla, lemon, guava, oranges , tomatoes

AVOID -excess te/coffee - as it blocks iron absorption -junk food, deep fired, cold drinks, sour curd at night

HOME REMEDIES -Jaggery + ghee small piece daily -soaked black raisins 10-15 overnight in morning -beetroot + carrot juice with few drops of lemon daily -pomegranate juice or eating seeds regularly

LIFESTYLE, YOGA AND PRANAYAM -Sleep well= minimum 7-8 hrs at night -avoid late nights, excessive stress

YOGA ASANA -bhujangasana -shavasana -sarvangasana -vajrasana after meals improves digestion

PRANAYAM -anulom vilom= balances oxygen and energy -bhramari= calms mind -kapalbhati= improves circulation

INVESTIGATIONS NEEDED -CBC= to monitor Hb, red cell indices -Serum ferritin, iron, TIBC= to confirm iron deficiency -Vitamin B12 and folate levels=often low in vegetarians -Thyroid profile= can cause heavy bleeding

-Your low hemoglobin is due to blood loss (heavy periods) + vegetarian diet deficiencies -Ayurveda teats this holistically by stopping excess bleeding, rebuilding blood, improving digestion, and restoring energy. -With consistent medicines , proper diet, yoga-pranayama, and monitoring, your HB can steadily rise to normal in 3-6 months

DO FOLLOW CONSISTENTLY

HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELPFUL

THANK YOU

Improving haemoglobin levels naturally is very much possible with Ayurveda, especially as you’ve mentioned being a vegetarian and experiencing heavy periods. The first step involves addressing your diet. Incorporate iron-rich foods like spinach, fenugreek leaves, and sesame seeds, which are well-suited for vegetarians. Cooked spinach and beetroot can be especially helpful, try consuming beetroot juice daily, not too much though.

A glass of pomegranate juice, consumed first thing in the morning, can also support haemoglobin production. Combining your diet with a vitamin C source, like amla or lemon, can aid iron absorption. Steer clear of tea or coffee right after meals as they can inhibit iron absorption.

In Ayurveda, strengthening your agni (digestive fire) is crucial. Consider consuming a digestive stimulant like trikatu churna, a mix of ginger, black pepper, and long pepper, before meals with warm water. This can enhance iron uptake from your diet by improving digestion.

Given the heavy periods you experienced, Ayurvedic herbs like Ashoka and Shatavari may help regulate menstrual cycles. Consult with an Ayurveda practitioner for personalized dosages as well as decoctions preparation.

Lifestyle modifications can support your energy restoration. Engage in mild exercises like yoga or brisk walking, which stimulates circulation without exhausting you. Restorative yoga practices, such as shavasana or legs up the wall, can be rejuvenating when you’re tired.

Lastly, if your symptoms persist or worsen, a consultation with a healthcare provider is recommended to rule out any underlying conditions. Balancing Ayurvedic approaches with allopathic interventions can offer a comprehensive strategy to improving your health.

Considering your haemoglobin level and recent symptoms of fatigue and heavy menstruation, it’s crucial to approach this with attention to underlying causes as seen through Siddha-Ayurvedic principles. The depletion of rasa and rakta dhatus (blood tissues) could be contributing to your low energy levels as well as hemoglobin count.

Firstly, focus on your diet, since you have transitioned to a vegetarian lifestyle. Include iron-rich foods like lentils, spinach, fenugreek leaves, beetroots, sesame seeds, jaggery, and dates, which helps rebuild rakta dhatu. Enhance their absorption by pairing them with foods rich in Vitamin C such as amla, lemon, and oranges to boost assimilation.

Herbal remedies may also support you. Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera) can help with energy levels while shatavari (Asparagus racemosus) is particularly supportive for women’s health, possibly aiding reproductive balance and strength. Try these herbs as powders or decoctions after meals, if feasible — around half teaspoon twice daily.

Since you’ve mentioned heavy periods, it’s vital to harmonize your menstruation cycle. Fennel seeds have a calming effect on pitta and are useful for balancing menstrual flow. Consider chewing a teaspoon after meals or preparing a tea with it.

Ensuring your agni (digestive fire) is strong will be crucial to effectively digesting and absorbing these nutrients, so avoid overly cold or raw foods which can hinder this fire. Warm, cooked, and lightly spiced meals typically support agni better.

For immediate concern due to symptoms indicating severe anemia, consulting a healthcare provider promptly is essential to assess if further intervention like supplementation or specific treatment is needed. Making sure it’s safe to pursue lifestyle changes while under medical guidance is very important.
