Malaria is a parasitic disease that is caused by a parasite that can be transmitted from one person to another through the bite of an infected mosquito. Malaria is usually characterised by a high fever, frequent chills, anemia, nausea, vomiting, and headaches. Other common symptoms may include muscle pain, diarrhea, blood in the stools, coma, jaundice and sweating.
Homeopathic remedies should not be used to replace medical attention and medical treatment for malaria. However, homeopathic remedies can be very helpful in relieving and improving some of the symptoms that are often associated with malaria.
Ipecac and Eupatorium Perfoliatum for Malaria
Ipecac is a homeopathic remedy that works well for malaria patients who suffer from frequent chills that are accompanied with a fever. This homeopathic treatment works especially well for those patients who also suffer from nausea which may or may not lead to vomiting, diarrhea and a lack of appetite. This homeopathic treatment also works well for malaria sufferers who suffer from digestive problems, such as bloating or excessive gas.
Eupatorium perfoliatum may be effective for malaria sufferers who have aching bones as well as vomiting. This homeopathic treatment works especially well for those who suffer from chills off and on. Other common symptoms that will occur in those who can benefit from this homeopathic treatment include sore muscles, excessive gas and constant thirst. Often, they may also have a pressure like pain that affects the head.
Gelsemium and Chininum Sulphuricum for Malaria
Gelsemium is a remedy that works well for those with malaria who have gastric symptoms. This homeopathic treatment works best for those who suffer from a frequent chill that begins at the feet and moves up through the body. Those who will benefit from this homeopathic treatment often have chills and a face that is reddened.
Chininum sulphuricum should be taken by those with malaria who have a chill that begins in the evening that is accompanied with severe thirst. It may also be effective for those who have cold sweats and are generally weak.
Although homeopathic remedies can be very beneficial for those with malaria, they should not be used in place of medical attention. Malaria requires treatment in many cases and it's important to seek medical attention and follow any treatment required. However, homeopathic remedies can be used along with any treatments being used for malaria.
