Child anaemia — pallor, tiredness, flagging at school.
Food Remedies
Main remedy
Iron the tasty way: dates and raisins daily, gud-chana or gud-groundnut as the school snack, spinach folded into dal, pomegranate when in season. Squeeze lemon over iron foods — vitamin C doubles absorption — and keep milk an hour away from them. A pale, listless child should have a blood test.
The classic iron snack — a small handful after school.
