Anemia

 Without  using bowel inflaming iron tablets, anemia can easily be treated through Pancha Bhoota method. We suggest to follow these general recommendations for one month and if you still have problems write to us and we will be able to suggest individualized therapy for you.

Water Therapy :   We generally recommend doing Water Therapy  to cleanse the iron absorbing colon. Drink 1.5 liters of water first in the morning, using mild amount of flavors like ginger, cumin seeds, mint leaves, cardamom, corriander seeds, sarsparilla root powder, hibiscus flowers etc)  for better results.

Earth Therapy: Being a vegetarian is not the reason for being anemic. It is because we polish our grains and eat iron deficient food. Soaking grains and cooking will break Iron binding phytates and so Iron is freely available for the body. The same way  Soaking beans and cooking different types of beans like kidney beans, soy beans, pinto, blue, black, adzuki beans etc is a good source of Iron.

Use Iron vessels to get iron in your diet. Iron vessels helps  fast to cook in contrary to the popular belief. It takes few minutes extra to get heated, but retains heat for a longer time.

Eat fermented rice  and or  fermented barley for more effective results.

 Vitamin-C  is needed for iron absorption. We found this method of supplying small doses of iron highly effective. Take one orange and split it into eight pieces (it naturally has eight pieces). Then eat one piece before breakfast and another one after breakfast. One before lunch and after lunch. One before evening snack and after and one before and after dinner. so eight pieces in one day, that is one day one orange. you can  use Mosambi or tangerine of grape-fruit (citrus family) also.

Include more vegetables and fruits in your diet, especially leafy vegetables. Best is to use Moringa Leaves. The leaves can be used in soups as well as green-juice.

    Other leaves in the form of chutney can be used to detoxify the liver as well as supplying iron.

Cleansing:

   Very important is to cleanse the liver and intestines with Castor oil and Gallnut (cleansing)  before starting the Pancha Bhoota and you can alternatively do the cleanse every two months (one time castor oil , next time gall-nut cleansing).

Iron boosting - Liver -Tonic Chutneys:

      Every day eat the following chutneys. One per day. seven days seven chutneys and then repeat them again. All leaves  should be raw and not heat sauted. But you can add coconut, red pepper, or black sesame seeds or
split peas dal and salt to make it tasty.

1. Coriander leaves chutney

If you feel the chutney is bitter, then you can make it thick and make it as a small marble and swallow it with water. Make them small balls so that you do not choke yourself.

If you cannot afford fresh leaves, then get dried leaves and boil in water and drink the decoction.

easy. Just cut and put in blender with little water and dates if needed ,
