Abstract

Anemia during pregnancy is a condition in which hemoglobin levels decrease due to physiological demands, iron deficiency, and hemodilution throughout gestation. (Siregar, A. N. 2020) t remains a major maternal health concern because it increases the risk of preterm birth, postpartum hemorrhage, infection, and impaired fetal growth and development. This review aims to assess the effectiveness of complementary interventions using natural foods— particularly fruits and herbs rich in iron, folate, vitamin C, and antioxidants—in improving hemoglobin levels among pregnant women with anemia. Methods: The review includes several quantitative studies with quasi-experimental and one-group pre-posttest designs involving pregnant women in their second and third trimesters. Results indicated that consumption of dragon fruit, dates, moringa leaves, beetroot, honey, and black cumin increased mean Hb levels by 0.6–2.5 g/dL, with statistical significance at p ≤ 0.05. The accessible, and effective, making them a useful therapeutic option alongside iron supplementation.

Abstract

The review of existing research shows that using fruits and plant-based remedies as non-medical treatments can help reduce nausea and vomiting and improve anemia in pregnant women. Different methods, such as eating Ambon bananas, dates, lime with or without honey, using lemon and lemongrass for aromatherapy, drinking lemongrass beverages, consuming ginger, beetroot, moringa leaves, and mixing honey with black cumin, all have been found to help decrease how often and how badly nausea and vomiting happen, and also increase hemoglobin levels significantly (p < 0.05). The success of these treatments is because of the active ingredients they contain, such as vitamin B6, iron, folate, vitamin C, flavonoids, gingerol, essential oils, and antioxidants. These ingredients help reduce too much stomach acid, improve digestion, relieve nausea, and support the production of red blood cells. Herbal treatments are considered safer, easier to find, more affordable, and have fewer side effects. That's why they are useful in midwifery care. Using these treatments can improve midwifery care by making it more thorough and based on real evidence, while also making the experience more comfortable and safe for both the mother and the baby.
