Ayurvedic Herbal Treatment for Sickle Cell Anemia

Sickle cell anemia is an inherited medical condition which is caused by inherited abnormal haemoglobin which produces sickle shaped red blood cells.  These sickle shaped cells are fragile and prone to rupture due to situations such as injury, dehydration, and anesthesia.  The hemolysis of these abnormal red blood cells causes sickle cell anemia and the blocking of the circulation due to these abnormal cells after rupture creates symptoms in different parts of the body including severe anemia, migratory pain crises, joint pain and swelling, bacterial infection, liver and spleen congestion, lung and heart injury, leg ulceration, aseptic necrosis and damage to the bones, and damage to important organs of the body like the eye, brain, kidney and the nervous system.
