albendazole side effects - #18245
I was recently prescribed albendazole for deworming, but I have been experiencing some strange side effects since taking it. After my first dose, I felt extremely nauseous, and my stomach started cramping. A few hours later, I had diarrhea and felt unusually dizzy. I didn’t think much of it, but after my second dose, the symptoms got worse—I even had mild headaches and trouble sleeping. I looked up online and saw that these could be albendazole side effects, but I was not expecting them to be this strong. I want to know if Ayurveda offers any natural alternatives to deworming that don’t cause such harsh reactions. Are there herbal remedies that work as effectively as albendazole but without these side effects? I have read that neem, black walnut, and vidanga are good for intestinal parasites—are these safe to use, and how should they be taken? Also, now that I have already taken albendazole, is there an Ayurvedic way to detox my body and reduce the side effects? I feel like my digestion has been off since taking the medicine, and I want to restore balance to my system. Are there specific foods, teas, or detox therapies that can help my body recover from the effects of albendazole? Another thing I am worried about is whether the medicine has completely removed the parasites or if I need to do additional treatment. Does Ayurveda have a way to confirm if my body is free of worms, or should I repeat the deworming process naturally? Please advise on how I can reduce albendazole side effects and prevent future parasitic infections using Ayurvedic methods.

Laxatives - #19612
I’ve been struggling with constipation for a few months now, and I’ve been relying on laxatives to get some relief. It started off as just occasional bloating and discomfort, but over time, I’ve found myself needing to take a laxative more frequently to feel regular. I initially used over-the-counter laxatives, and while they worked, I didn’t want to rely on them forever. I’ve heard about potential side effects from using laxatives too often, such as dependency or damage to the intestines, so I’m really concerned about how much I’m using them. Lately, I’ve been feeling like my digestive system isn’t functioning as it should, and I don’t want to keep using laxatives as a crutch. I want to find a more natural solution to improve my digestion, but I’m not sure where to start. I’ve read a little about Ayurveda and how it approaches digestive health, and I’m wondering if there are any Ayurvedic treatments or herbs that could help regulate my bowel movements without relying on laxatives. I’ve been thinking about my diet and lifestyle as well. I try to eat fiber-rich foods, but I’ve still been having issues with constipation. Could Ayurveda suggest any specific foods that could support my digestive health? I’ve also been pretty stressed lately, and I know stress can affect digestion, so I wonder if that could be contributing to my problems. Are there any Ayurvedic practices or herbs that can help reduce stress and improve digestion at the same time? I really want to avoid becoming dependent on laxatives, so I’m looking for a holistic approach to treating this issue. Can Ayurveda help strengthen my digestive system and make it more regular, without the need for laxatives? I’ve heard about herbs like Triphala and psyllium, but I’m unsure how to incorporate them into my daily routine. Lastly, how long would it typically take for Ayurvedic treatments to show results? I don’t want to keep relying on laxatives, but I’m looking for a safe and natural way to manage my constipation.
