Homeopathic Treatment of Ehrlichiosis

Homeopathy relieves fever aches and other complaints. It treats the person as a whole. Treatment is constitutional. It means that homeopathic treatment focuses on the patient as a person, as well as his pathological condition. It balances the energy system, improves immunity and body functions. It naturally cures the root cause of disorder. Some of the homeopathic medicines for Ehrlichiosis are:

Ars alb
Belladona
Bryonia
Calc P
Ferr P
Rhus Tox
Merc 

Conventional / Allopathic Treatment of Ehrlichiosis

In the Allopathic Treatment of Ehrlichiosis, antibiotics such as doxycycline or tetracycline are prescribed. If you’re pregnant, your doctor may prescribe the antibiotic rifampin instead, because tetracycline and doxycycline aren’t recommended during pregnancy.
