Anemia is triggered by a passing illness or crisis. But the underlying cause of anemia, like most illnesses, is the accumulation of faulty eating habits that violate the natural law of duality producing imbalance and lowered immunity. Anemia is an illness of the third stage among the seven stages of illness. Anemia is directly related to the spleen-pancreas, so the heart-liver should also be considered in natural treatment. Heart-liver are mother-father of the spleen-pancreas in the five elements theory of natural medicine.
