Anemia is a Latin word which means without blood. Anemia according to clinical terms is the state in which the body has lesser amount of red blood cells than is required.

This inhibits the blood’s ability to transfer blood to the cells and leads to cellular suffocation called hypoxia. The reasons for anemia can be hemorrhage or blood-loss, excessive blood cell destruction or due to inadequate production of RBC in body.

In such cases the person has enough amounts of fluids, but lacks the oxygen carrying RBC.

Here are a few home remedies to effectively control and prevent anemia

Take a cup of beetroot juice and a cup of apple juice with honey or sugar. This speeds up RBC production.

Eat a ripe banana with two-tea spoon honey twice a day.

Eat Indian gooseberry or orange. These fruits help speed up iron absorption to body.
