Home Remedy for Tuberculosis
Tuberculosis is a serious disease and needs a definite attention.
A tiny germ called tubercle bacillus is responsible for
causing tuberculosis. This tiny germ attacks the lungs by entering
one's body through the nose, mouth or the windpipe. Here they
multiply and cause pulmonary tuberculosis of the lungs which is
the most common type of tuberculosis found in the most parts of
the world. Person suffering from pulmonary tuberculosis loses
strength. Also variation in skin color and loss of weight may
occur. In some cases symptoms like rise in temperature, difficulty
in breathing, chest pain, etc are also seen.
Lowered resistance is the chief cause of this disease. So a person
suffering from tuberculosis has to increase his/her resistance
power. He/she should take proper and adequate food, live in
ventilated houses, avoid exposure to cold and impure air, thus
preventing growth of germs.
Milk Diet Beneficial in Tuberculosis Treatment
Calcium is the best curative agent for treating
tuberculosis. The person suffering from tuberculosis should have
excessive intake of calcium rich food or substances. Milk is the
richest source of calcium and should be liberally given to the
person suffering from tuberculosis. I have read in books, that the
person suffering from tuberculosis should have a glass of milk
every half an hour. That means approximately 6 litres of milk per
day. This may sound difficult. But it is a must. Start with a
glass of milk every two hours and then gradually increase your
milk intake. Raw milk produces the best results. This diet should
be continued for around 8-10 weeks.
Valuable Fruits as Remedies for Tuberculosis
Custard apple or sitaphal, as known in
India, is one of the most valuable fruit that can be used as a
home remedy for tuberculosis. Two custard apples and few seedless
raisins are boiled together on slow flame till the water becomes
1/3 of its original volume. This mixture is then filtered.
Powdered sugar and some other condiments are then added to this
mixture.
Indian gooseberry and pineapple juice is also beneficial in the
treatment of tuberculosis. Every morning the patient should take a
mixture of Indian gooseberry, fresh amla and honey.
Patients suffering from tuberculosis should also eat bananas and
oranges. A glass of orange juice mixed with a pinch of salt and a
tablespoon of honey should be daily taken by the patients
suffering from tuberculosis.
Juice of Drumstick Leaves for Tuberculosis Treatment
Drumstick leaves should be heated and
then boiled for 5 minutes in 200 ml of water. This mixture should
then be allowed to cool. After cooling add salt, pepper and lime
juice. Patients suffering from tuberculosis should drink this
mixture every morning.
Bottle Gourd and Mint Effective in Treating Tuberculosis
Bottle gourd vegetable is considered to
be the most effective vegetable for tuberculosis patient. Also
fresh juice of mint has been found useful in treating patients
suffering from tuberculosis.
Other Measures
In addition to the home remedies mentioned above the patient
should avoid white bread, white sugar, preserved foods, strong
tea, coffee, pickles etc. He should take ample quantity for rest
and avoid stress. The patient should sit or sleep in well
ventilated rooms. Also to kill the tubercle bacilli, the patient
should expose himself to sun rays.
