A parasite is any organism that lives and feeds off another organism. There are many parasites that can affect humans – from those that live inside the body (endoparasites) like heartworm and tapeworm, to those that live on the skin (ectoparasites) like head lice and scabies. Then there are intracellular parasites, like bacteria and viruses, which reside inside the unfortunate host’s cells.
Symptoms
Because there are so many species of parasite, there are various symptoms that may cause someone to seek natural medicine for parasites.
These symptoms can include:
- Weight loss and/or increased appetite
- Abdominal pain or distension
- Vomiting
- Constipation, gas and diarrhoea
- Bloating, indigestion and excessive flatulence
- Itchy anus or vagina
- Sleeping difficulties
- Anaemia
- Aches and pains
- Fatigue, lethargy and apathy
- Allergies
- Low mood
- Anxiety
- Skin irritations or unexplained rashes, hives, etc.
- Pain or aching in your muscle joints
- Never feeling full or satisfied after your meals
Whether experienced together or singularly, these symptoms can have a profound impact on a person’s quality of life, affecting concentration, mood, comfort, and even social life. If left untreated, symptoms such as anaemia can also have serious consequences for long-term health. It is therefore advisable to seek natural medicine for parasites as early as possible.
