Haemoglobin
Posted in Alternative therapies, Health and fitness, Home care for certain disorders on 12/30/2008 05:54 pm by adminDeficiency of Haemoglobin in blood
In medical terms it is called Anaemia. In such cases, the number of red cells decreases and also there is a decrease in the quantity of haemoglobin. Nearly half the blood flowing in our veins and arteries consists of red blood cells which carry oxygen to the tissues. The raw materials required in the production of these cells are iron, proteins, and vitamins, especially folic acid and B 12. Iron and proteins are essential in building up the red coloring matter called haemoglobin. A red cell has a lifespan of approximately one hundred and twenty days and is then destroyed and replaced.
Symptoms
The suffering person complains of weakness, fatigue, lack of energy, and dizziness, a haggard look, premature wrinkles, dull and tired looking eyes, poor memory, shortness of breath on exertion, headache, slow healing of wounds, and palpitations. The skin and mucous membranes look pale.
Causes
A diminishing formation of red blood cells in the bone marrow, either due to defects in the bone marrow, or due to an inadequate intake of iron, vitamins, and proteins, is one of the main causes. Other causes include heavy loss of blood due to injury, bleeding piles, or excessive menstruation in women. It can also occur due to a lack of hydrochloric acid in the stomach, which is needed for digestion of iron and proteins, or intestinal parasites or worms.
