Posted under General - Dec 28th, 08

There are millions of people in this country alone that do not even realise that they are anaemic. 

This problem arises when the red blood cells in a person’s body has reduced. Iron is a vital ingredient in the body and is the main component of haemoglobin, the substance in blood cells that carries oxygen around the body.

It is the lack of oxygen which is responsible for the symptoms of fatigue.

Both men and women can suffer from this condition but some are more likely than others such as pregnant women.

When a woman has just had her baby then there is every chance she may be lacking iron.

If a person is taking anti inflammatory tablets or has arthritis it can be the cause or a reason for having a deficiency in iron.

Some of the signs to look out for are tiredness all the time or shortness of breath.  However a routine blood test at your doctors will spot any lowering of the bodies iron levels.

There are herbal remedies to help with an iron deficiency and a qualified herbalist will be able to give you some advice on the different ones.

Nutritionists will be able to help with suggestions on changing your diet to incorporate more iron based foods.
