In biology, parasites are organisms whose vital activity occurs at the expense of the resources of other life forms, as a rule, more organized. In an everyday sense, this term is commonly used in connection with protozoa and helminths that live in the human body.
At first glance, parasitic invasions in the modern world are a rare and marginal phenomenon. It seems that with the development of medicine, the improvement of hygienic practices and urbanization, they are a thing of the past. This opinion is somewhat wrong: Online stories about the "parasite cluster" really have little to do with reality, but even today there is a fairly high risk of becoming a carrier of unwanted fauna. Pet owners, exotic food and travel enthusiasts, children and those who neglect standard hygiene procedures are particularly susceptible to infection. The most common signs of a parasitic infection include:
- skin rashes of unknown origin, dermatitis, acne;
- dyspeptic disorders, heartburn, nausea, sudden weight gain, digestive problems;
- headache and dizziness;
- brittle nails, hair deterioration, premature aging of the skin;
- deterioration of immunity and resistance to disease, regular herpetic outbreaks, colds;
- general deterioration of health: dysthymic phenomena, irritability, lethargy.
Most often, helminths and protozoa live in the digestive and liver organs. The parasites can stay in the body for years almost invisibly or, conversely, create tangible problems one month after infection. In one way or another, parasites deplete the human body, destroy beneficial internal flora, interfere with the absorption of nutrients, and destroy the body's systems. Their long stay in the human body threatens with extremely serious health problems and parasitic infections in children can lead to a marked delay in physical development and impaired nervous regulation.
Cleansing the body of parasites, most often, requires the help of professional doctors. If you suspect they are present, you should immediately consult a doctor and start proper treatment. Many natural remedies have been shown to be effective against parasites. They can also speed up healing, provide additional support for medication therapy, and prevent infection. The advantage of natural medicines compared to synthetic ones is less toxicity, cheapness and ease of use. However, it is worth using folk remedies with caution: when making antiparasitic drugs at home, you should follow the instructions. A very small dose of active plant materials will not have the desired effect and will help the parasites develop resistance to it, and too large can lead to an overdose.
