Ayurvedic Treatment For Dysentery!

Dysentery is the inflammation of the intestine that causes the appearance of blood and mucus in stool. It is caused by bacteria or parasites. In this condition, the patient passes semi liquid stool many times in a day. It is a contagious disease and is transmitted via the fecal-oral route. Thus, a group of people like a family living together or students in a hostel is more prone to picking up the infection. This infection is also transmitted via anal sex. 

Ayurveda is a herbal medicinal treatment, originated in India. It is known to have a cure for various health problems.
