Ayurvedic Herbal Treatment for Tularaemia

Tularaemia is an infection which usually spreads from animals to humans and causes symptoms like ulceration, swollen lymph nodes, bodyache, fever, sore throat, diarrhoea, vomiting, and in severe cases, diseases like pneumonia and septicemia.  This condition typically causes a granuloma type of skin infection associated with fever, which usually resolves within a few weeks to a few months.  The modern management of this condition involves the use of antibiotics and anti-inflammatory medicines.  The management of Tularaemia also requires the adoption of appropriate preventive measures.

Ayurvedic herbal treatment can be instituted for individuals with Tularaemia who do not respond to conventional treatment or continue to have chronic complications from the condition.  Ayurvedic herbal medicines are utilised in order to treat and control infection, prevent the spread of infection to other parts of the body, and bring about an early resolution of symptoms.  Ayurvedic herbal medicines which have a known anti-septic and anti-inflammatory action are used in the management and treatment of this condition.  Ayurvedic herbal medicines are also utilised to remove the toxins from the body either through the gastrointestinal tract or through the kidneys.

Ayurvedic herbal medicines are also utilised to help treat the granuloma and resolve the lesions at the earliest.  Localised treatment in the form of medicated ointments and pastes can also be used to help bring about an early resolution of the condition.  In addition, Ayurvedic herbal immunomodulatory medicines are utilized to boost the immune status of the affected individual, so as to help reduce treatment time, bring about an early resolution of symptoms, and prevent long-term complications and serious conditions like pneumonia and septicemia.

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.
