        <p>Background: Anaemia in females of reproductive age are at high risk. Objective: The objective of this study is 
compare the effectiveness of Individualized Homoeopathic medicine along with Ferrum phos 6X and Lecithin 
12C alone in treatment of anemia and secondary objective is to find out common causes of anemia. Materials 
and Methods: Comparative study was done for 6months and sample were taken from Motiwala Hospital OPD 
and Medical camps through Simple random Sampling technique 46 sample size were selected according to our 
inclusion criteria (females of 13 to 49 years of age, Hb ranging from 7 to 12gm/dl, patient who have given 
consent and who have fulfilled the criteria for questionnaire) and complete blood count was done. The sample 
were divided into two, Group A were given Individualized homoeopathic medicine along with Ferrum phos 6X 
and Ferrum phos 6X was repeated in every follow up. Group B was given Lecithin 12C and it was repeated in 
alternate follow up. After 6 follow ups again complete blood count was done and result were formed 
accordingly. Results: 135 patients were screened and out of which 46 sample size was selected, the calculated t 
value 2.20 significantly exceeds the table t value 2.02. Hence it was considered that the study is statistically 
significant. Among 46 cases of anemia, the most common cause was nutritional deficiency due to improper 
dietary intake (36 cases, 78.26%) followed by recurrent infection (5 cases, 10.87%), heavy menstrual bleeding (4 
cases, 8.70%) and hemorrhoids (1 case, 2.17%).. Conclusion: Hence we concluded that both individualized 
homeopathic medicine with Ferrum phos 6X and Lecithin 12C are effective in treating anemia, but their impact is 
unequal. The combination of homeopathic medicine with Ferrum phos 6X showed significantly better 
improvement in anemia compared to Lecithin 12C.</p>
