Homeopathic Cure for Amoebiasis

Amoebiasis or amoebic dysentery is a condition caused by an amoebic parasite identified as Entamoeba histolytica. The amoebic parasite enters your body after you consume contaminated water or food. Once in your body, the parasite invades your intestinal tract and causes gastrointestinal and bowel complications. Symptoms include diarrhea, abdominal cramping and pain, nausea, bloody stools, loose stools, fever, weight loss and in severe cases intestinal damage can occur.

Aconite

• In Descriptive Medicine with Clinical Methods and Homeopathic Therapeutics, K. L. Kitchlu and L.R.N. Bose explain that aconite is recommended if you are suffering from a fever, restlessness, bloody stools, and reddish brown, hot urine associated with the onset of amoebiasis. You can take aconite 30x, a medium potency remedy, by dissolving four tablets beneath your tongue four times daily to treat dysentery symptoms. Children can consume two tablets of aconite four times a day to treat symptoms associated with amoebiasis. In adults, if the symptoms are acute, you can consume four tablets every hour until relief is experienced.

Baptisia

• Baptisia is a homeopathic remedy ideal for the elderly who are suffering from amoebiasis. Associated symptoms include a yellow-brown coating on the tongue, a low-grade fever and watery stools. Baptisia also is recommended for treating gastrointestinal flu-like symptoms. You can take baptisia 6c, a low potency, or 30c, a medium potency, based on your symptom's severity. If consuming baptisia 6c or 30c you should take a single dose, as directed on the packaging, every one to two hours for severe dysentery symptoms, and every three to four hours for milder symptoms.

Arsenicum Album

• Arsenicum album is a homeopathic remedy used to treat dysentery associated with bloody stools that are particularly odorous, blackish-brown stools, the experience of excessive thirst brought on by dehydration, and overall weakness. You can consume arsenicum album 30c at a dosage of three to six pellets three to four times daily. Children suffering from dysentery can consume one to three pellets a day one to two times daily to alleviate dysentery symptoms. The remedy can be used for a week's time. Medical assistance should be sought if symptoms do not resolve.

Lachesis is offered in 30c medium potency. You can consume lachesis by taking three to six pellets three to four times each day. Allow the pellets to dissolve under your tongue. Children can consume lachesis at a dosage of one to three pellets a day one to three times daily for seven days to alleviate dysentery symptoms.

Sulphur

• Sulphur is used to treat chronic amoebiasis associated with watery, bloody stools. Sulphur 30c can be consumed by adults at a dosage of two pillules every two hours for the first six doses. You can then take two pillules four times a day for a period of five days. The pillules should be placed directly in the mouth from the container without being touched to avoid the contamination of the treatment. You can chew or suck on the pillules between your meals for relief of dysentery symptoms.
