Malaria is an infectious disease prevalent mostly in tropical and sub-tropical regions. It is caused by a parasite 'Plasmodium' and transmitted to humans by the infected female anopheles mosquitoes. Every year 500 million people around the world are affected. It is a number 1 killer disease with 3 million reported fatalities a year - 1 death every 3 seconds. If unreported cases are taken into account then the fatality rate is much higher - closer to 3 deaths every 1 second.

There are several problems in the correct diagnosis of Malaria because almost all the symptoms are non-specific. Presentation of Falciparum Malaria is many a times unusual with bizarre symptoms and fever may be low grade or absent altogether. Due to many scientific reasons Peripheral Smear (P/S) may wrongly show negative in about 70 to 80% of the cases, even though the malarial parasite is present in the blood. Although a non-specific test, the Erthryocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR) can be considered a very useful tool for the diagnosis of Malaria, particularly Falciparum. If not treated quickly, Malaria can become life threatening by disrupting the blood supply to vital organs.

For many reasons the treatment of Malaria is becoming difficult. Vector mosquotes have become insecticide resistant. Organism Plasmodium has developed resistance to many anti-malarial drugs like Chloroquine, Sulphadoxine / Pyrimethamine and in some countries to Quinine and Mefloquine as well. Now resistance to even latest anti-malarial drugs Artemisinin Derivatives has been reported too.

Most allopathic drugs for the treatment of Malaria focus on killing the parasite Plasmodium. Whereas disturbance in the rheological properties of the blood is also very important pathological change in Malaria which needs specific attention and appropriate treatment. Most of the anti-malarial drugs have 'Narrow Safety Margin' (Range between Effective and Toxic dose is very limited) and going towards higher dosage results in destruction of patient's existing immunity against Malaria and also weakening of the body's immune system.

Due to these difficulties with the allopathic forms of treatment of Malaria, it became imperative to search for an alternative form of treatment without any adverse effects. We could find the solution in the ancient Indian system of Medicine, 'Ayurveda'. Cap. PLASMONIL is a unique cure for Malaria based on the Ayurvedic system of medicine. It has no reported adverse effects, reduces the recurrence rate and even strengthens the body's immune system. As of date (December 2009) more than 40,000 cases of Malaria have been successfully treated with 'Cap Plasmonil'.
