People with anemia have a white and pale complexion, are easily short of breath and are constantly tired. In addition, the lack of oxygen can cause them to suffer from migraines, which are usually accompanied by a feeling of dizziness or dizziness. Thanks to Ferrum Metallicum, it is possible to alleviate the majority of the symptoms that accompany anemia.
