According West Medical, Anemia is a condition that develops when your blood lacks enough healthy red blood cells or hemoglobin.
The major symptom of Anemia is fatigue, this is because that the organs cannot get enough oxygen, due to abnormality of red blood cells. Anemia affects about 5% of US's population, and women during pregnancy are most susceptible to the disease.
In TCM's theory, Anemia will often be accompanied with yellowish facial expression, dry skin, dizziness and fatigue. This is typical Qi and blood weakness, and in this case we will tonify both Qi and blood, along with all the organs.
If your facial expression looks yellowish, you feel dizzy and you always feel tired, then this may be due to weakness of spleen and stomach. In this case we should tonify Qi so that spleen can be stronger and help out stomach.
If your facial expression is dark, and you feel dizzy and have tinnitus, then you have blood deficiency in heart and kidney. In this case we will focus on the heart, we will tonify qi and blood of the heart first and get your body back to balance.
If you feel cold in your limbs and your body parts are often swollen, then you may have yang deficiency in kidney and spleen. In this case we will tonify both spleen and kidney. As a result, we will reach balance again.
