Objective: Anemia is a common issue among children, which can have adverse effects on their growth and development. This condition is usually caused by iron deficiency or other essential nutrients in the body. Early identification and timely treatment of anemia in children are crucial to prevent more serious complications. The aim of the present review study is to identify the most important medicinal plants and edible fruits used in traditional Iranian medicine for the treatment of childhood anemia.
Methods: This study is a review of medicinal plants that are effective in treating anemia in children, as found in traditional Iranian medicine. To gather relevant resources, searches were conducted in credible scientific databases such as Web of Science, Medline, PubMed, Scopus, SID, and Google Scholar using the keywords "medicinal plants", "anemia", "children", "herbal medicine", and "traditional medicine". Inclusion criteria for the articles included those written in Persian or English, original articles, and books on traditional medicine and herbal medicine. Exclusion criteria involved articles lacking sufficient data for scientific evaluation, duplicate articles, irrelevant articles, and articles written in languages other than Persian or English.
Results: Based on the findings, various medicinal plants and edible fruits such as sorrel, nettle, wild marigold, banana, pomegranate, sesame, tomato, alfalfa, parsley, burdock, raisins, alfalfa, parsley, wormwood, bell pepper, strawberries, spinach, dates, fenugreek, and lemon are used to treat childhood anemia.
Conclusion: Studies indicate that the use of medicinal plants can serve as an effective supplement in treating childhood anemia. These plants help improve iron absorption and strengthen the immune system, contributing to the improvement of anemia in children.
