Iron is an essential mineral that plays a vital role in the body’s overall health. It is crucial for the formation of hemoglobin, which carries oxygen to our cells, as well as for maintaining energy levels and supporting the immune system. Low iron levels can lead to anemia, leaving you feeling tired and weak.    Iron deficiency occurs when your body does not have enough iron to meet its needs. This deficiency can arise from various factors, such as insufficient dietary intake, poor iron absorption, blood loss and certain medical conditions.     Boost Your Iron Levels in Ayurvedic Way     In Ayurveda, low haemoglobin levels is called Pandu. The literal meaning of Pandu in Sanskrit is pale whitish discolouration.
