Acupuncture and herbs can help a lot with anemia.
Yes.And diet management.
yes. I encourage you to book a session with your practitioner of choice to get help with relief.
Acupuncture per se won't do much for your anemia, but ask your nearest practitioner if they carry any herbal formulas that might.
Anemia can be a complex diagnosis. There are different types of anemia including, iron deficiency, B-12 deficiency, and insidious bleeding to name a few. It is best to work with your MD to treat the specific cause of your anemia. If they are unable to effectively treat your specific case a visit to a hematologist may be necessary.

There are lots of different kinds of anemia. Without knowing specifically what we're talking about, it's hard to say how effective acupuncture might be in your case. There are acupuncture techniques that are intended to 'build blood'. In some cases of anemia, these acupuncture techniques coupled with dietary adjustment can help.
