Thalassemia Homeopathy Treatment

Thalassemia is a genetic blood disorder. Thalassemia sufferers are not able to make enough hemoglobin, leading to severe anemia. Since Thalassemia is a group of blood disorders and not a single disorder that affects the body in similar ways, it is important to note the differences between various types of thalassemia.

There are two primary types of Thalassemia disease:

• Alpha Thalassemia
• Beta Thalassemia

There are four types of thalassemia ranging from mild to severe in their effect on the body.

• Silent carrier state
• Hemoglobin constant spring
• Alpha thalassemia trait or mild alpha thalassemia
• Hemoglobin H constant spring

People whose hemoglobin doesn’t produce enough beta protein have beta-thalassemia.  It is found in the people of Mediterranean descent, the Arabian Peninsula, Iran, Africa, South East Asia, and Southern China.

There are three types of beta thalassemia ranging from mild to severe in their effect on the body.

• Thalassemia minor or thalassemia trait

• Thalassemia major or Cooley’s anemia
