How to Treat Chlamydia with Herbal Home Remedies

Chlamydia is a sexually transmitted disease. In women, its symptoms are so mild, that they are unaware of the disease until chlamydia has progressed to pelvic inflammatory disease(PID). PID is a very serious illness and is a major cause of infertility. In men, symptoms of chlamydia are immediate, including painful urination and a painful discharge from the urethra. Chlamydia often spreads to the eye and causes conjunctivitis. Chlamydia can also develop into Reiter's syndrome, a combination of severe arthritis, urethritis and conjunctivitis.
