What is Malaria ? Treat At home by Dr. Firoz Ali Biswas

WHAT IS MALARIA?
Malaria is an infectious disease, transmitted by the bite of infected mosquitoes. It is characterized by colonization of red blood cells in our body by a parasite called plasmodium. Plasmodium is carried by female anopheles mosquito and it reaches into the blood when this mosquito bites a human. Once the parasite enters the body, it multiplies in the liver and then affects the red blood cells. If we talk about the incubation period then, Malaria generally lasts for around 8 to 20 days (max 2 months) after the bite of incubation. This period is characterized by febrile seizures every 2 -4 days.
CAUSES OF MALARIA:
  • Unhygienic surroundings or living condition
  • Consuming alcohol lower then body resistance makes person vulnerable to malaria
  • Wrong eatery habits.
SYMPTOMS OF MALARIA:
  • High fever, every day or alternative day or every fourth day
  • Pain in the limbs & general body pain
  • shivering and sweating
  • Headaches
HOME-BASED REMEDIES TO CURE MALARIA:
There are no home cures for malaria other than quinine or artemisinin based prescriptions which should be prescribed by doctors. Quinine or artemisinin based drugs have bad side effects like loss of appetite, weakness, loss of immunity, intestinal problems, depression and liver problems. Therefore, following measures can be taken to alleviate the symptoms.
  • Cinnamon: is a valuable remedy for treating malaria. One teaspoon of powdered cinnamon should be boiled in a glass of water with a pinch of pepper powder and a teaspoon of honey. This should be taken daily.
  • Lemon: Lime and lemon also play a vital role to reduce the quartan type of malarial fever. Take 4 to 5 drops of lime, add the juice of one lemon and dissolve it in one glass of water
  • Ginger: Cut the ginger into small pieces and add 2-3 teaspoons of raisins. Boil them together in a glass of water until it gets reduced to half the amount. Drink it after it cools down.
  • Grapefruits: It contains the natural quinine-like substance, which can be extracted by boiling a quarter of it and straining its pulp. It is beneficial for curing malaria and can be consumed daily.
  • Alum: Alum needs to be dry roasted and powdered. A teaspoon of this powder needs to be consumed four hours before the expected fever attack and half a teaspoon after two hours of the attack. It will give great relief from malaria.
  • Holy Basil: Holy basil leaves, which are a beneficial remedy for treating malaria, can be consumed raw or you can also make a decoction of them and drink it.
  • Chirayata: is a herb and is beneficial for treating intermittent malarial fevers. It helps to lower the temperature.

All of these diseases are associated with insulin and leptin resistance. To put it more simply: There is an underlying problem that results from eating large amounts of carbs and / or protein. Processed foods and grains, which Americans consume as they go out of style, are loaded with sugar. Eating all these sugars builds up leptin and insulin resistance in the body and it keeps the body fat. Additionally, this resistance can cause inflammation and cellular damage. How can you fix this? It may be time for nutrients to enter your body. This means your body starts burning fat instead of glucose (sugar). As more research has revealed, studies indicate that a ketogenic diet may be the answer to many health problems, including cancer, heart disease, obesity, diabetes and Alzheimer's. T...

In younger people the primary cause is physical trauma, such as sports injuries or motor vehicle accidents. The most common cause of pain in older people, however, is arthritis, which causes pain as well as stiffness. If someone already has a limp, inflammation makes it even more pronounced. Pain can affect any of the limping-related joints: hip, knee, ankle or foot. Discomfort in any of those locations is common and is likely to be experienced by more and more people as they age. Each specific location causes a slightly different kind of limp. Diagnosing the cause of a limp is ba...
