Herbal Remedies for Tuberculosis



Tuberculosis is caused by the organism mycobacterium tuberculosis. It may affect any part of the body but the most common form is the TB of the lungs also known as consumption and pthysis. The severity of the disease depends on the organ involved.

In the early stage of consumption or TB of the lungs, there is cough of an irritating nature, particularly in the morning. Sometimes, the first sign is the spitting of the blood. A very important sign is a regular rise in temperature, either in forenoon, or more often in the early afternoon, with a fall below normal in the early morning. There may also be pain in the chest indicating the involvement of the pleura. The second stage begins when ragged cavities are formed in the lungs. In the terminal stage, the lung shows signs of shrinking and sometimes, it falls in. Emaciation is now extreme, the temperature swings from one extreme to another and there is copious sweating. Death comes due to excessive loss of blood or sudden lowering of temperature and the inability of the lungs to suck air.
