Amoebiasis

Amoebiasis is an intestinal infection caused by the protozoan parasite Entamoeba histolytica. The disease spreads mainly through ingestion of contaminated food or water containing cysts of the parasite. Once ingested, the cysts release trophozoites in the intestine that invade the mucosa, causing inflammation and ulceration. It is common in areas with poor sanitation and hygiene. The infection may remain asymptomatic or progress to intestinal amoebiasis and, in severe cases, lead to amoebic dysentery or liver abscess.

Homeopathy treats amoebiasis by eradicating the infection, reducing inflammation, and strengthening the intestinal mucosa. Remedies are chosen based on the nature of the stool, frequency of attacks, associated symptoms, and the patient’s constitution. Homeopathy not only provides relief from acute symptoms but also helps prevent recurrence by improving digestion and immunity. Regular treatment helps restore normal intestinal function and overall vitality.
