Treating blastocystis an holistic approach

Blastocystis is generally considered to be a weak parasite. It
attacks those people who have a weakened immune system or a very
weakened digestive tract. Blastocystis Hominis are Blastocystis causing infection in humans.

Symptoms

Abdominal pain and diarrhea, nausea or vomiting, increased or decreased appetite, gas or bloating, dysentery (loose stools containing blood and mucus), sneezing, coughing, fever, headache, a rash or itching around the rectum or vulva, tiredness, weight loss, bed wetting in children and passing worms in your stool.

A person who is affected can experience any range of these symptoms, however complications happen more often and more severely in older people, children and in people who already have serious illnesses, such as AIDS.

Ayurveda view

In Ayurveda parasites are called ‘Krimi’ .

Parasites classified into three types:

Kaphaj  - related to mucous and live in the stomach)
Purishaj -related to feces and exist mainly in the large intestine)
Raktaj   - which circulate in the blood
Blastocystis  falls under Kaphaj .

One of the most important things to realize is that parasites are far more likely to set up residence and cause a problem if the environment in our gut is appealing to them. From an Ayurvedic point of view this means that the digestive fire (Agni) should be balanced and strong and the body free of undigested food waste (Ama). A system that is polluted with Ama is the perfect breeding ground for parasites and once they are established, their presence will perpetuate this situation.

The real problem

different kinds of digestive complaints--allergies, immune system
difficulties, skin problems, and bowel problems.

Energetic:

Solar plexus is the 3rd chakra responsible fir element fire and responsible for digestion.

Beings with excessive third chakra energy react to life circumstances, they have emotional outbursts and are often stressed out.

Beings with blocked or deficient third chakra are passive and inactive - allowing life to pass by while they do nothing.

Balancing this chakra should help you support the digestive system. Look for healing methods.

Strong third chakra reflects the ability to move forward in life with confidence and power. It reflects the ability to make conscious choices to choose and to act.
