Most individuals seriously affected with symptoms of Tularaemia require Ayurvedic herbal treatment for about 2 to 4 months in order to bring about a complete resolution of the disease.  Some individuals may require immunomodulatory treatment for another few months.  Ayurvedic herbal medicines can thus be judiciously utilised in the management and treatment of Tularaemia.
