Is it possible to get rid of worms in the human body using folk remedies or not?Of course, the real treatment of diseases caused by parasitic worms should be done by a parasitologist.This medical specialty is quite rare.
What if there is no such doctor?How can you rid your body of parasites using folk remedies?
About public funds
Of course, you can try to get rid of parasites in the body using folk remedies, but nothing more.After all, an indicator of correctly conducted deworming is the absence (and three times) of signs of helminths and their eggs in the examined material or negative results of serological diagnostics, for example, using the ELISA method.Of course, before treatment the parasite must be identified, and after treatment it must disappear.
Get rid of parasites using folk remedies in no way involves a follow-up examination.You can give up the diagnosis: the huge number of people who take folk remedies do not even know why they take them.
Therefore, at home you cannot rid the body of parasites, but take folk remedies that can cause the parasite some discomfort, if any, of course.There are, for example, parasitic cysts in echinococcosis in the brain, with such a dense membrane that even drugs through it do not work on the larvae: they must be removed promptly.Therefore, the claim that some folk remedies can get rid of parasites is largely arbitrary.
In aid of medicines
However, many herbal medicines can provide all possible help in complex therapy if they are taken together with medicines prescribed by a doctor with a firmly established diagnosis.What herbs can remove parasites from the body?
The following medicinal plants have an anthelmintic effect:
- pumpkin seeds.They are not only destructive to worms, but also tasty.The active substance is found in the film around the seeds.Traditional medicine advises to prepare 100 seeds, divide them into 4 doses, and drink petroleum jelly or vegetable oil in the amount of 2 tablespoons in the evening.The seeds paralyze the muscles of the helminths, and the laxative "drives" them out.The only criterion for effectiveness is the detection of stationary worms in the stool.
- garlic.You can simply eat a lot of garlic in food, both fresh and as part of horseradish.Some recommend enemas with garlic, but they do more harm than good: you can burn the mucous membrane of the rectum and "enema" to a crack or erosion of the anus;
- wormwood.Since ancient times, bitter wormwood has been considered an appetite stimulant and anthelmintic.Fresh wormwood litter also repels fleas from dogs and cats.An infusion of wormwood leaves, which can be purchased at the pharmacy, is used for treatment;
- dandelion roots.They contain a special alkaloid taraxacin, which is harmful to nematodes and tapeworms.It is used in the form of a decoction of dried roots;
- thyme.This aromatic herb is known for its essential oil, which is highly disliked by parasitic worms - helminths.You can drink tea by boiling fresh parts of the plant and letting it steep.You can consume ½ cup, 3 times a day, for 10-14 days.
It is necessary to clearly understand that, unlike medicines, there is no guarantee that the plant contains the required dose of the active substance.In addition, its effect will in any case be much weaker than that of a medical drug.The question of dosage is also completely unclear, especially with regard to children.It says, for example, "take a hundred seeds" and that's it.All this is due to the fact that the specific dosage - how many seeds to take per kilogram of weight - is not clear.
In addition, many plants used to expel parasites are simply toxic, such as the male fern.
Traditional medicine has no idea what substances to choose so that they affect only the metabolic characteristics of the parasite, but at the same time do not harm the person.This is the fate of the science of medicine and pharmacology.Therefore, when taking poisonous herbs internally on someone's advice, think "seven times" before ingesting their potion or infusion.
Medicines are devoid of all those conventions and drawbacks characteristic of herbal medicine.Therefore, before looking in pharmacies and markets for herbs that remove parasites from the body, just consult a doctor.
