    Effect of Acupuncture on Haemoglobin and Fatigue Level in Anaemic Females.
    (S-VYASA, 2026-05-07) Himani Jagdish Shahare; Sridevi. K.J
    Background: Low haemoglobin levels are associated with reduced oxygen-carrying capacity of blood, leading to symptoms such as fatigue, dizziness, reduced physical performance and poor concentration. Conventional treatment mainly involves iron supplementation; however, side effects are common. Acupuncture has been suggested to improve blood circulation and stimulate physiological processes that may support haemoglobin production and reduce fatigue. Aim: Evaluate the effect of acupuncture on haemoglobin levels and fatigue among anaemic females aged 20–24 years at S-VYASA, Bangalore. Method: Participants with mild to moderate anaemia received acupuncture at selected points (GB39, UB17, LIV13, SP6) for 15 days. Haemoglobin levels and fatigue scores were assessed before and after the intervention to determine the effectiveness. Results: A significant improvement in haemoglobin levels and reduction in fatigue scores were observed following the intervention. Conclusion: Acupuncture may be an effective complementary approach for improving haemoglobin levels and reducing fatigue. Keywords: Acupuncture, Haemoglobin, Fatigue
