Malaria
What is Malaria
Malaria is a fever caused by a parasite transmitted through the bite of the female Anopheles mosquito.
It brings fever with chills, sweating, weakness and deep exhaustion.
From a homeopathic point of view, malaria is not only an infection — it is a sign that the body’s inner life force (vital energy) has become weak or disturbed.
Homeopathy works gently to strengthen this inner healing power, helping the body recover naturally and regain balance.
Types of Malaria
Malaria is mainly classified based on the type of parasite involved. Each type affects the body differently, but homeopathy always treats the person as a whole.
- Plasmodium Vivax Malaria
This is one of the most common types.
Common Symptoms
Fever with chills and shivering
Sweating after fever
Headache
Body pain
Weakness and tiredness
Fever may come every alternate day
Homeopathic View
This type often shows periodicity — fever comes in a fixed pattern.
Homeopathy works deeply on restoring rhythm, strength and immunity.
2. Plasmodium Falciparum Malaria (Severe Malaria)
This is the most dangerous type and can become life-threatening.
Symptoms May Include
Very high fever
Severe weakness
Vomiting or diarrhea
Confusion or drowsiness
Breathing difficulty
Low blood pressure
Risk of organ involvement
Immediate hospital care is essential in this type.
Homeopathy may support recovery only along with medical treatment.
3. Plasmodium Malariae
This type develops slowly and may last longer.
Common Features
Mild but long-lasting fever
Fever may occur every third day
Fatigue and weakness
Anemia in long cases
Homeopathy supports long-term recovery and improves vitality gently.
4, Plasmodium Ovale
This type is less common.
Symptoms
Fever with chills
Sweating
Weakness
Similar to Vivax but usually milder
Homeopathic medicines help balance the immune response and energy levels.
5. Mixed Malaria
Sometimes more than one parasite infects the body.
Patient Experience

Increased risk of complications
Such cases need careful medical monitoring with supportive homeopathic care.
Symptoms
Fever with chills and shivering
Sweating phase after fever
Headache
Body pain
Nausea or vomiting
Extreme weakness
