Iron Chicks are often closely related to Mouthwatering Chicks and/or Downtown Chicks and may see some of those body signs as well. Traditional Chinese Medicine Terms:The "iron chick" health pattern is a commonly understood pattern in Traditional Chinese Medicine.
TCM diagnosis for what we call an "iron chick" would be blood deficiency, yin deficiency and/or jing essence deficiency.
Using TCM body sign diagnosis (especially light-colored menses, pale tongue, headaches and depression) TCM doctors are able to diagnose the iron chick health pattern waaaayy before the woman advances to the point of actual anemia--this is a very strong point of traditonal medicine when it comes to this health pattern.
