Hello,   Giardia or giardiasis is the medical term for the infection of the intestines, which is characterized by watery diarrhea, nausea, abdominal cramps and bloating. This type of intestine infection is caused by a microscopic parasite called Giardia lamblia that best survives in water. Giardia infection is contagious and can be transmitted through a contact or food.
Garlic can be very effective in fighting against Giardia lamblia, as well as against some other intestine parasites, and it can be consumed as garlic cloves, or in the form of capsules and tablets.
 Goldenseal is an herb that contains an active substance called berberine, which is very good for treating the intestinal infection caused by Giardia lamblia.
