Chlamydia cannot be cured through home treatment. The best way to treat Chlamydia infections is through the use of prescribed antibiotics. However, patients need to start on antibiotic medications on the commencement of the disease to prevent long-term problems. If the disease is left untreated, complications are likely to develop. It is possible that Chlamydia may lead to many secondary developments.
According to herbalists and folk medicine therapists, certain natural or home remedies that involve the use of herbs are known to be highly efficient in conjunction with conventional medical therapies, to drive off infection and enhance the immune system. Herbalists recommend the use of herbal remedies; however care must be taken when taking herbal treatment for Chlamydia as modern science does not advocate some herbs to be safe for use. The herbs for treating the disease are believed to be non-addictive and also deal with overall health and well being.
Some of the natural home remedies recommended by herbalists include the use of Hypoxis Rooperi extracts (also known as African Potato), extracts of Agathosma Betulina, peppermint oil and extracts of Solidago (also referred to as Goldenrod) These herbal extracts are believed to enhance the healthy performance of the immune system and fortify the instinctive ability of the body to combat infection. Other known herbs as natural remedies for Chlamydia include extracts of mistletoe, extracts of hawthorn, extracts of Schizandra Sinesis, extracts of the milk vetch or Astralagus Membranaceus and extracts of olive leaf.
Herbalists believe that these herbs are natural cures in treating the sexually transmitted disease and also act as a natural revitalizer and tonic.
Chlamydia is a disease caused by bacteria and falls under the category of a sexually transmitted disease (STD). However, the disease needs to be treated at the earliest stage as it possesses the capacity of undergoing mutation into strains that maybe difficult to cure. It is extremely important that patients complete the course of antibiotics as it is highly crucial for effective treatment.
Most people develop pessimistic thoughts or feelings about themselves and about sex when they discover that they have been infected with Chlamydia. Such patients must seek the help of a counseling group or a support team for patients with sexually transmitted diseases (STDs). With due help and guidance from a psychologist, a welfare worker, or counselor, patients can conquer feelings of embarrassment, anger, frustration or guilt.
It is also possible for an infection to re-occur. Symptoms are likely to persist even after treatment has been completed, perhaps due to another Chlamydia infection instead of failed treatment. In order to avoid reinfection, sex partners need to be checked and treated appropriately.
