Malaria Home Remedies:
Malaria, a mosquito-borne infectious disease of humans, is caused by Plasmodium parasites. Several drugs are used to treat malaria and prevent this disease but still it has remained a serious health problem in many countries. Many home remedies are also commonly used for the treatment of malaria infection. These remedies can be used either along with the antimalarial therapy or as an alternative form of treatment.
I am going to share with you simple but effective home remedies for malaria in this article. Let’s take a look at what causes malaria, and how to knowing you have malaria.
Causes Of Malaria
Malaria is caused by a parasite called Plasmodium. This parasite lives in the blood of humans and animals. It’s carried by female Anopheles mosquitoes that bite people. When the mosquito bites, it injects some of the parasites into your bloodstream.
Malaria parasites are carried in the saliva of an infected Anopheles mosquito. When a mosquito bites you, it injects some of these parasites into your bloodstream.
The malaria parasite spends part of its life cycle in the liver cells of human beings and other animals, such as birds and monkeys. The parasite then reproduces within these liver cells to form new forms called merozoites. Merozoites eventually burst out of these liver cells and enter red blood cells where they reproduce again. After this phase, they return to the liver cells where they grow larger, burst out again and infect more red blood cells until there are so many that they overwhelm their host’s immune system and kill them.
Symptoms Of Malaria
The symptoms of malaria are fever, chills, sweating, headache, and muscle pains. These symptoms can be mild or severe depending on the type of malaria and how many parasites are in the bloodstream.
