Abstract

Background: An extensive public health problem, with much concern for human health, associated with an accelerated risk of morbidity, and a causal agent of death in pregnant women both in developed and emergent nations. Iron, the essential component of hemoglobin and related physiological parameters would affect the whole journey of pregnancy and have an ill effect on the outcome. Therefore, natural remedies like dates and honey mix along with iron and folic acid supplementation would aid in the prevention of anemia-related complications. Methods: Quantitative – true experimental study was conducted among 30 pregnant women with iron–deficiency anemia who were on iron and folic acid supplementation, by random sampling and experimental group clients were provided 50 grams of dates and honey mix in the morning daily from the beginning of third-trimester up to delivery after assessing their selected physiological parameters. The Pretest and post-test results of the experimental and control group were analyzed statistically.
