From an Ayurvedic perspective, a hemoglobin (HB) level of 11 suggests a condition related to “Pandu” (anemia), which could be due to an imbalance in the Pitta and Vata doshas, as well as a deficiency in Rasa Dhatu (plasma) and Rakta Dhatu (blood tissue). H. Pylori infection can lead to digestive disturbances, impairing the absorption of nutrients, which might contribute to low hemoglobin. Since the HB level is still low despite treatment, the focus should shift towards improving digestion (Agni) and enhancing nutrient absorption. Herbal remedies like Ashwagandha, Guduchi, and Punarnava, along with a diet rich in iron (such as leafy greens, dates, and pomegranate), can help strengthen the blood and improve energy levels. Additionally, reducing stress and improving sleep quality are important to restore overall vitality. Consult a qualified Ayurvedic practitioner to create a personalized treatment plan.

Looks like there might be more going on than just that ulcer treatment. With your HB at 11—and that fatigue, itching and low weight—it’s time for a deeper dive. In Ayurveda, we’re always looking at the root cause. So, let’s chat about food and lifestyle first:

First, eating well is key. Focus on iron-rich foods like pomegranate, spinach, and beetroot. Seriously, pomegranates are amazing! Eat maybe a small bowl of seeds every morning. You can also try some sesame seeds, awesome source of iron and easy to sprinkle onto whatever you’re eating.

A big thing in Ayurveda is Agni—your digestive fire. If Agni’s weak, the body has trouble making good-quality blood. Some ginger tea before meals might stoke that fire. Just boil some slices in water, drink it warm, but not too hot!

Now, could be some Pitta imbalance, hence the itchy skin. Try applying coconut oil on the skin after shower—it’s cooling and soothing. You could even opt for bath with neem leaves if that itchiness persists, super calming for the skin.

Think about stress too. Almost everything’s aggravated by stress. If there’s stress, meditation can be grounding. Spend 10 minutes sitting quietly. Not easy at first, but it’s worth it.

Sleep? Need a solid 7-9 hours. It’s part of the healing process. Try setting a bedtime routine—dim the lights an hour prior, maybe a quick warm shower, helps the body know it’s time to rest.

Lastly, any stomach issues, like with H. Pylori, might mean Vata imbalance affecting digestion. So try not to eat in a rush, chew properly, and keep warm, soupy foods more on the menu for a bit.

But really, if things don’t improve, another chat with a healthcare provider might be good. You know, to rule out any other causes, maybe check with another specialist if needed. Your well-being’s the priority, right? Stick with these bits for a few weeks—see if there’s some change. But don’t hesitate to seek another opinion too if somethings doesn’t feel right.
