Amebiasis, also known as amoebiasis or entamobiasis, is a parasitic infection of the


intestines caused by entamoeba histolytica.

This single-celled protozoan enters the body through ingestion of E. histolyticain


contaminated food or water or direct contact with fecal matter. Transmission of this parasite
can also occur during anal sex or colonic irrigation.

This health problem is common in tropical countries where sanitation is poor. People who
have traveled to such locations and people with weak immune systems and other health
problems are at a higher risk of acquiring this infection.

Symptoms appear within a week after ingestion of the contaminated food. Initial symptoms
include loose stools and stomach cramping.

Other symptoms include bloody stools, nausea, vomiting, fever and tenderness in the upper
right quadrant of the torso. It can even lead to anemia due to blood loss.

Home remedies to fight the parasites, ease symptoms and prevent the condition from
becoming life threatening.

Frequent watery stools and vomiting can lead to dehydration, which can worsen your
condition. To prevent dehydration, make sure to drink plenty of fluids throughout the day.

At the same time, fluids will help keep your system clean, thus making your body less suitable
for parasitic organisms.

Drink 8 to 10 glasses of purified water daily.

Along with drinking water, you can drink tender coconut water, and herbal tea.
Oral rehydration solution (ORS) at home by mixing ½ small spoon of salt and 6 small spoons
of honey in 4 cups of clean water. Drink it at regular intervals.

Note: If you have kidney problems, be careful drinking so much water.

Coconut is a strong antiparasitic agent that can fight the parasites .

fruit and oil to treat this problem.

fluids due to diarrhea.

in it will help expel parasites from your body.

The antibiotic and antiparasitic properties of garlic help rid your body of harmful parasites
and prevent their recurrence. In addition, it stimulates your immune system to help your body
fight the infection.

Oregano is an herb that can help fend off the harmful parasites and treat amebiasis. Its
powerful antioxidant and antibiotic properties are vital for your body to fight the infection. In
addition, its antispasmodic property helps ease cramps and pain.

Indian lilac, also known as neem or margosa, is another natural treatment . Its antiparasitic
and antibiotic properties kill harmful parasites. It also removes toxins left behind by parasites
