The vermiform appendix is a vestigial part in the body which is in the shape of a tube. This means that the appendix does not perform any major function in the body but, in case an infection occurs in the appendix, then it may result in a severe outcome. The appendix is located in the abdomen, attached to the lower end of the large intestine. In case an inflammation of the appendix occurs, it is called appendicitis. This problem has to be treated with an immediate effect.
It usually begins with a dull ache in the middle region of the abdomen which gradually intensifies followed by indigestion, constipation and diarrhea. It also results in nausea and loss of appetite. It occurs if mucus obstructs the cavity of the appendix. This obstruction occurs due to the excessive amount of poisonous waste material in caecum. The infection and inflammation occurs due to some germs which are present in the intestinal region.
There are certain home remedies for appendicitis which are not only easy and simple to follow but are also inexpensive and easily available at home.
