Homeopathic Treatment for Elephantiasis

What is Elephantiasis?

Elephantiasis, also known as lymphatic filariasis, is a parasitic infection that results in extreme swelling in the legs and arms. This condition is generally caused by the filarial worm that is transmitted from person to person through the female mosquito. At times an infected female mosquito bites a person; she might inject the worm larvae into their bloodstream. The worm larvae then replicate and extend throughout the bloodstream.

Elephantiasis can put impact on psychological state, personal life, economical state, and physical disability of the patients.

What Are The Causes Associated With Elephantiasis?

Elephantiasis is mainly caused by parasitic worms, which are often spread by mosquitoes. There are three different types of worms involved:

• Brugia malayi
• Brugia timori
• Wuchereria bancrofti

These worms affect the lymphatic system in the body, which is mainly responsible for removing waste and toxins. If lymphatic system gets blocked, then it cannot remove waste properly. This all result in a backup of lymphatic fluid, eventually leading to swelling.
