Vallora's Sickness

Information

Secret :

Basically, Vallora's sickness is what we would identify as anemia. But considering the setting of the world of Mizahar, I let it stay as a "mysterious" illness. Anemia is a problem with the oxygen-carrying capacity of the blood. A person with anemia has either too few oxygen-carrying red blood cells or not enough hemoglobin in the red blood cells. Anemia results when, for any number of reasons, the bone marrow makes defective red blood cells or not enough normal ones, or if red blood cells are destroyed before they have completed their job. There are several forms of anemia, but the most common type is caused by a lack of iron -- an important component of the hemoglobin in red blood cells.

Moderate Anemia: weakness, fatigue, shortness of breath

Severe Anemia: rapid heartbeat, dizziness, headache, ringing in the ears, pale skin (especially the palms of your hands), pale or bluish fingernails, hair loss, restless leg syndrome, confusion

Treatments

Secret :

Herbs:

Yellow Dock Root: This common roadside weed has the ability to raise the hemoglobin in weeks. It can be taken in the form of tincture or capsules. The high dosage of yellow dock root can cause diarrhea in some individuals.

Stinging Nettle: Stinging nettle or nettle leaf is better taken after cooking and eating it like spinach. Nettle leaf contain stinging irritant to skin so it should be used after boiling. Some persons find that adding red raspberry, oat straw herb and anise seeds potentiate the effect of nettle leaf on anemia.

Dandelion And Burdock Root: The combination of Dandelion and Burdock root is used for anemia treatment. They might increase the ability of body to absorb iron from food in a better way.

Alfalfa: Probably the tonic or rejuvenative effect of alfalfa is the reason to use it as herbal anemia supplement. And it is a better choice.

Amla Or Emblic Myrobalan: This wonderful fruit is a great source of Vitamin C and is a well recommended tonic, antioxidant and adaptogen in Ayurvedic Medicine. It is in use in so many forms in Ayurveda. One form is particularly good for children and pregnant ladies. This is Amla Murabba in which fresh and green Amla fruits are preserved in sugar syrup. This can be taken daily.

Liquid Chlorophyll: This nutritional supplement is used in Western Medicine and it is used to readily raise hemoglobin level. It is found to be safe in pregnancy.

Other Herbs For Anemia: Out of all these herbs for anemia, the main herbs have been briefed above. Alfalafa, Ginseng, Codonopsis and Spirulina are used for the tonic properties and these can support the herbs for anemia. Ginger and fenugreek are also supportive to herbs for anemia. Jujube date and Vitis vinifera are great fruits that can be eaten otherwise as well. Other herbs are given more for description or information purpose.

Different Forms Of Herbs For Anemia: Herbal tea or decoction or infusions are a better way to take these herbal supplements for anemia. Their taste is not good usually so some sugar can be added if you are not diabetic. Honey can be added when the preparation is lukewarm only. Second common form is tinctures with alcohol. There is availability of capsules or tablets containing powders or extracts. It is better to take capsules containing extracts because lesser quantity will be sufficient. Another form is also in use - Glycerites, these doesn't contain alcohol.
