Properties:

Spinach has been used as a food throughout the world, but it has several medicinal applications as well. In addition to being a great source of vitamins and minerals, Spinach also shows promise as a cancer fighter, a mental stimulant, an anti-oxidant, and an aid against bone loss.
Spinach (Spinacia oleracea, Amaranthaceae) is a leaf vegetable. It is most productive in cool seasons and climates, since heat will cause the spinach to go to seed too early. When cooked its volume is decreased by three fourths.
Mechanism Anaemic:Spinach is relatively rich in nitrogenous substances, in hydrocarbons, and in iron sesqui-oxide, which last amounts to 3.3 per cent of the total ash. It is thus more nourishing than other green vegetables. It is a valuable part of the diet in anaemia, not only on account of its iron, but also for its chlorophyll. Chlorophyll is known to have a chemical formula remarkably similar to that of haemoglobin, and it is stated that the ingestion of chlorophyll will raise the haemoglobin of the blood without increasing the formed elements.

Safety and Toxicity:

People with gout or kidney or bladder stones should avoid spinach due to its high amount of oxalic acid. For the other it is better not to eat it too often. Once a week is enough.
