Fight Anemia & Low Hemoglobin With Shilajit

Fight Anemia Low Hemoglobin With Shilajit 1

There are various possible anemia causes – mostly dietary, but also genetic. Clinically, the anemia definition refers to the condition of low red blood cell count. From routine blood testing, anemia is detected with hemoglobin levels that are described as hematocrit. If you are unfamiliar with hemoglobin meaning, you should know that it is the most important protein in red blood cells, necessary for the supply of oxygen throughout the body. This is why typical anemia symptoms include low levels of energy as the tissues and organs don’t get enough oxygens. Other anemia symptoms also include shortness of breath. In India, anemia classification is categorized as a public health threat because studies show that it affects more than 50 percent of the population. Pregnant women and children are most vulnerable to complications. 

Anemia treatment involves the use of medications, iron supplements, and even blood transfusions depending on the type of anemia and severity of the condition. Most of these conventional treatments come with their own set of risks, making natural treatments a useful aid to dealing with anemia. Ayurvedic anemia treatment is based on literature accumulated over millennia and it provides us with a variety of natural treatments including, lifestyle changes and dietary modifications to include hemoglobin rich foods. However, the most powerful anemia remedy from Ayurveda is the natural ingredient of Shilajit

The Healing Power of Shilajit

Healing Power of Shilajit

Shilajit is one of the most highly regarded ingredients in Ayurvedic medicine, but it’s not technically a herb. It is a natural organic ingredient that develops over millennia as an exudate from Himalayan mountain rocks. The ingredient has a blackish brown color and is like a resin. It is categorized as a Rasayana or rejuvenative in Ayurveda and has been used for over 2,000 years to treat various conditions, including anemia. The ingredient has attracted greater attention from modern medical science as researchers have uncovered its complex nutritional and therapeutic value. Most of these Shilajit benefits are attributed to its main constituent – fulvic acid. It is also rich in other nutrients including fatty acids, ellagic acid, amino acids, polyphenols, sterols, and phenolic lipids. Here’s a look at how this makes it particularly effective as a natural treatment for anemia. 

Health Benefits of Shilajit for Anemia and Low Hemoglobin

Shilajit is notable as one of the richest sources of humic acid and iron, making it an effective natural supplement to boost iron levels, which can help relieve some symptoms of anemia and restore hemoglobin levels closer to the normal range. This is why it is particularly helpful in the most common type of anemia, which is iron deficiency anemia. This not only causes anemia, but affects various aspects of health because of the importance of iron as an essential nutrient. Iron deficiency anemia symptoms are known to include heart arrhythmia or irregular heartbeat, headaches, fatigue, and coldness in the extremities. Regular Shilajit supplementation can help to reduce the severity and frequency of such symptoms. 

The ingredient is most popular as an energy booster to raise levels of vitality and vigor. This is not surprising as it has traditionally been used to treat weakness and fatigue. This is also supported by studies that show that shilajit supplementation can in fact help relieve chronic fatigue syndrome, which is a lot more severe. Such an energy boost can be helpful when dealing with anemia because of its adverse effects on energy levels. These benefits may be seen in as little as three weeks of supplementation and are thought to be connected to the ability of shilajit to prevent mitochondrial dysfunction, which is a feature of chronic fatigue syndrome. 

In addition to helping directly treat anemia and iron deficiency, while also raising energy levels, Shilajit offers other benefits for anemia patients. Weakness, low immunity, and susceptibility to infections are common problems in anemia and shilajit works as a natural immunomodulatory ingredient. This may also be on account of its complex nutraceutical profile, which is thought to enhance immunity, while also directly protecting against certain infectious agents. 

 

Final Takeaway

Keep in mind that effective anemia treatment to improve hemoglobin levels requires constant monitoring and consistent use of supplements like Shilajit. For more information on appropriate dosage and other dietary recommendations, consult an Ayurvedic practitioner.
