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.
Homeopathic Medicines for Amoebiasis

A person may also have abdominal pain that gets temporarily better by passing stool. There is often a sharp pain in the rectum after passing stool.
Preventing Amoebiasis
Certain measures can be taken to avoid amoebiasis completely. Washing hands thoroughly after using the toilet and before consuming any food, drinking boiled/adequately filtered water, avoiding raw fruits and vegetables that are not clean, soaking uncooked vegetables in vinegar for 10-15 minutes before cooking, and cleaning the toilets effectively with disinfectants, at regular intervals.
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.
Dr Sharma,
My 16-year old daughter is having cramps in the upper abdomen. It starts at the break of dawn and is accompanied by nausea. She is taking a biscuit and water to control the main. But it persists till about 9am. During the day there is no pain but her appetite is very small.
Thanks
Hi Dr… Im suffering from amebiasis for past one month… Along with ulcer…. Kindly suggest me homeopathy medicine
Dear doctor
During the period of lockdown due to COVID-19, I used to sit for 8-10 hrs daily to perform my professional duties.
I was quite healthy and fit till 25th of July, except constipation problem.
On 25th July, I woke up with little abdominal pain on right upper side,(just above liver) . Also felt a lot of bowel gas.
I took it simply, had some antacid and other home remedies.
But the symptoms continued with diminishing appetite. I immediately got ultrasonography of the whole abdomen. The report showed hepatomegaly fatty gradeI, with mildly enlarged and increased parenchymal echogenocity.
CBC report shows reduced monocytes (only 1percent)
LFT shows reduced levels of protein (4.8%) and globulin (0.7%)
Stool test confirms only one alteration – presence of entamoeba histolytoca(++).
I started taking liv52 just after the test and waited for my family homeo doctor who was out of town. Meanwhile I started feeling mild fever with a little chill and burning eyes.
Today, I consulted my doctor who gave me four types of homeo medicines and assured me of rapid and complete relief.
Now I wish to know whether it is possible in my case to get rid of this problem…..whether I need conventional allopathic treatments including metronidazole and other’s drugs.
How can I make it confirm that my liver is inflected with the parasites or not? Is it a case of liver abscess or not?
Dear Dr. Sharma,
Would homeopathy be a remedy if there are amoebas in the liver, or other organs of the body? I have heard that with amoebas in the liver, for instance, it’s necessary to use drugs. I avoid drugs at all cost, but for this complication, it appears that a stronger treatment would be necessary?
Please do let me know, and I do so appreciate your being available,
Sincerely,
Jesse Reisch
