Amoebiasis is a disease caused by a parasite Entamoeba histolytica. The trophozoites of Entamoeba histolytica invade the large intestine and cause inflammation and flask-shaped ulcers leading to symptoms of diarrhea or dysentery. The infection may enter the bloodstream from the gut and then spread to other organs like the liver, lungs, heart, brain, and kidneys. Amoebiasis is common in developing countries where sanitation facilities are poor and inadequate. Homeopathic medicines treat amoebiasis by boosting the immune mechanism of the body. Aloe Socotrina, Merc Sol, Colchicum Autumnale, Colocynthis, Ipecacuanha, and Nux Vomica are the top homeopathic medicines for amoebiasis.
Homeopathic Treatment of Amoebiasis
Homeopathic medicines treat amoebiasis very effectively. The selection of the homeopathic medicine that will suit a given case of amoebiasis requires a thorough analysis and evaluation in details. Homeopathic medicines treat intestinal amoebiasis and also provide relief from symptoms of diarrhea and dysentery. However, it should be noted that in cases of amoebiasis where complications like a liver or brain abscess are present, conventional medical treatment is essential. One must take homeopathic medicines for treating amoebiasis only under the supervision of a homeopathic physician and avoids self-prescription.

Causes of Amoebiasis
The primary cause of amoebiasis is a parasite called Entamoeba Histolytica. Amoebiasis transmits through the fecal-oral route. A person gets amoebiasis infection by ingesting food or water that contains traces of Entamoeba histolytica. A person may also get infected by accidentally putting any such object in the mouth that has the fecal matter of a person infected with Entamoeba histolytica.
Symptoms of Amoebiasis
A person with amoebiasis may remain asymptomatic or have mild, moderate or severe symptoms. The symptoms include loose stool (diarrhea), dysentery (loose stool with blood and mucus), abdomen pain and fever. The infection can spread from intestines and invade other organs like the liver, lungs, heart, kidneys, and brain.
Complications from Amoebiasis
The various complications that occur in a case of amoebiasis include toxic megacolon, necrotizing colitis, intestinal perforation, liver abscess, brain abscess, and anemia.

Hi Doctor Sharma,
Now I am 57 years old. When I was 26 years old, I was infected with Amoebiasis. This was then treated in Allopathy. Before this infection, I never had any stomach problems. whatever I eat, I never had any digestion problems. After this issue, my stomach is sensitive and my digestion is very weak. My stool is never solid. most of the days I pass stools twice. Until last two years I used to maintain my weight at 68 Kgs. My height is 5 feet 7 inches. Now during the last two years my indigestion is affecting me more. I feel the Amoebiasis is still remaining in my system and causing this. Kindly help me by suggesting the treatment for me. Thank you
Kind Regards
