Syphilis is a bacterial infection primarily occurring in the genitals and is usually transmitted through sexual contact and also from mother to fetus during pregnancy or birth. The causative organism for the disease is a spirochete bacterium- Treponema pallidium. Syphilis is marked by three stages, each with their distinctive symptoms.

The preliminary symptoms include the development of a painless sore called chancre on the genitals and mouth. If left untreated, it progresses to secondary and tertiary stages of the disease intermediated by an asymptomatic latent (hidden) stage.

Although you get a vast array of antibiotics in the market, their side-effects too are no less prominent. Hence, you should seek methods of natural and herbal treatment for syphilis.
