認識地中海貧血
地中海貧血是一種遺傳性血液疾病，由於基因缺損令患者無法產生足夠的正常血色素，造成不同程度的貧血。重型地中海貧血患者需要長期輸血；中型地中海貧血患者脾臟腫大，有可能要切除或服食除鐵藥物。而部份輕型地中海貧血患者終身沒有症狀，部份患者則可能因為貧血而導致容易疲勞。
從中醫角度看，雖然地貧基因不能逆轉，但可針對症狀對症下藥。貧血屬於血虛範疇，一般以補養氣血及調理脾腎為主，如果有容易頭暈、心悸、面色偏白、嘴唇色淡、皮膚乾燥等血虛症狀，適量飲用補氣養血的湯水有助改善情況，如情況嚴重或持續，宜諮詢註冊中醫師治理。

What is Thalassemia?
Thalassemia is an inherited blood disorder, and its patients are unable to produce sufficient hemoglobin for the body, causing them to suffer from various degrees of anemia.
Patients with thalassemia major have to go for blood transfusion regularly; those with thalassemia intermedia might have a swollen spleen. If need be, they might have to remove the spleen and take Deferasirox (an iron chelator used to treat chronic iron overload); thalassemia minor sufferers might not exhibit any symptoms, but they would feel exhausted easily due to anemia.
From the perspective of Chinese Medicine, though this genetic disorder is irreversible, there are ways to relieve the symptoms. Anemia is a type of blood deficiency, so the plan should focus on nourishing the qi and the blood and regulating the spleen and kidneys.
Individuals with blood deficiency-related symptoms such as dizziness and palpitation, pale face and lips, and dry skin should drink soups that can replenish the qi and nourish the blood. If the condition persists, consult registered and licensed Chinese physicians.
