Hi
Include more of green leafy vegetables with lemon juice squeezed just before eating. Dudhi, pomegranate, figs,apples munakka, raisins, legumes, kidney beans, broccoli all are rich in iron. Take vitamin c too for better absorption of iron. Include nuts and seeds in your mother's diet.

Give her soup juice of beetroot, carrot and tomatoes . Use tomatoes by boiling them then straining all from a strainner.
And do check the cause of low haemoglobin is it caused by iron or protein.
That is also important
