Arsenicum
If, in addition to the other symptoms of chlorosis, there are also tremors, frequent fainting spells, severe physical exhaustion, then Arsenicum is one of the most important remedies. (Hartmann) Calcarea Carbonica
This remedy is i n a way a specific; still, at times, a dose of Lycopodium may be interposed on account of chronic constipation and exhaustion; or Sepia when headache is severe. Sometimes Ferrum carbonicum may be interposed.
A chlorotic girl with scanty menses had been declared a heart case on account of severe palpitation. However, the symptoms of chlorosis were unusually prominent; the heart beat was audible over entire chest; severe throbbing of temporal arteries. Pressing pain in stomach, especially when walking.

Conium maculatum

Menstruation lacking. (Hartmann)
Ferrum metallicum.
The most sovereign of all chlorosis remedies which we know is Ferrum, to be given until every arterial murmur is overcome.
