Ayurvedic medicine for malaria - #2838

Anonymously

My cousin was recently diagnosed with malaria, and while they are taking prescribed medications, I’m curious if there’s an effective ayurvedic medicine for malaria that can support recovery naturally. The main symptoms include fever, chills, and severe fatigue, and the episodes seem to come and go. Does ayurvedic medicine for malaria focus on strengthening immunity or directly targeting the parasites? I’ve read about herbs like Kalmegh, Giloy, and Tulsi being beneficial—are these commonly used in malaria treatments? How should they be prepared and consumed to help with the fever and body pain? Are there any dietary guidelines or lifestyle recommendations to follow alongside ayurvedic medicine for malaria? For instance, should spicy or oily foods be avoided, and is hydration particularly important during the treatment? Lastly, are these remedies effective in preventing future relapses of malaria? If anyone has experience with natural malaria remedies, please share what worked for you.

Ayurvedic medicine for malaria focuses on strengthening immunity, managing symptoms, and detoxifying the body. Herbs like **Kalmegh** (Andrographis), **Giloy** (Tinospora cordifolia), and **Tulsi** (Holy Basil) are commonly used. Kalmegh reduces fever and fights infection, while Giloy boosts immunity and Tulsi relieves chills and body aches. Prepare a decoction by boiling 1 tsp each of Giloy stem powder and Tulsi leaves in water; drink twice daily. Kalmegh can be taken as a capsule or powder under supervision. Hydration is essential—consume warm water, herbal teas, and light soups. Avoid spicy, oily, or heavy foods to prevent digestive strain. Rest is crucial, and gentle detoxifying therapies like herbal steam inhalation can help. These remedies not only aid recovery but may also strengthen immunity to reduce the risk of relapse. However, Ayurvedic treatments should complement, not replace, prescribed medications. Consult an Ayurvedic doctor for tailored guidance.
