Home Remedies for Amebiasis

1. Increase Fluid Intake

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, buttermilk, black tea and herbal tea.
• Also, make an oral rehydration solution (ORS) at home by mixing ½ small spoon of salt and 6 small spoons of sugar in 4 cups of clean water. Drink it at regular intervals.

Note: If you have kidney problems, consult your doctor before increasing your fluid intake.

2. Coconut

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

In addition, it boosts your immune system to fight against pathogens. You can use both the fruit and oil to treat this problem.

• Drink a few glasses of tender coconut water daily. It will help make up for the body’s loss of fluids due to diarrhea.
• Also, eat 2 to 3 tablespoons of extra-virgin coconut oil daily. The medium-chain triglycerides in it will help expel parasites from your body.
