Is it possible to get rid of worms in the human body using folk remedies or not?Of course, the actual treatment of diseases caused by parasitic worms should be performed by a parasitologist.This medical specialty is quite rare.
What if there is no such doctor?How can you cleanse your body of parasites using folk remedies?
About folk remedies
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 performed deworming is the absence (and triple) of signs of helminths and their eggs in the material being studied, 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.
Removal of parasites using folk remedies, in no way, does not include a follow-up examination.You can give up the diagnosis: the overwhelming 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 a membrane so dense that even drugs through it have no effect on the larvae: they must be removed immediately.Therefore, the statement that some folk remedies can get rid of parasites is largely arbitrary.
To help medications
However, many herbal medicines can provide all possible help in complex therapy if they are taken together with medications prescribed by a doctor, with a firmly established diagnosis.Which plants can remove parasites from the body?
The following medicinal plants have anthelmintic effects:
- pumpkin seeds.They are not only destructive to worms, but also tasty.The active substance is located in the film that surrounds the seeds.Traditional medicine advises to prepare 100 seeds, dividing them into 4 doses and in the evening to drink either petroleum jelly or vegetable oil in the amount of 2 tablespoons.The seeds paralyze the muscles of the helminths, and the laxative "drives" them away.The only criterion for effectiveness is the detection of immobile worms in feces.
- garlic.You can simply eat a lot of garlic in food, both fresh and as part of a horseradish.Some recommend garlic enemas, but they do more harm than good: you can burn the rectal mucosa and "enema" in a fissure or abrasion of the anus;
- sage brush.Since ancient times, bitter wormwood has been considered an appetite stimulant and anthelmintic.Fresh wormwood bedding also repels fleas from dogs and cats.For treatment, an infusion of wormwood leaves is used, which can be purchased at a pharmacy;
- Dandelion root parts.They contain a special alkaloid taraxacin, which has a harmful effect on nematodes and tapeworms.It is used in the form of decoction of dried roots;
- thyme.This aromatic herb is famous for its essential oil, which is highly disliked by parasitic worms - helminths.You can drink tea by brewing fresh parts of the plant and letting it brew.You can consume ½ glass, 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.Moreover, its effect in any case will be much weaker than that of a medical drug.The question of dosage is also completely unclear, especially in relation to children.It is said, for example, "take a hundred seeds", and that's all.All this due to the fact that the specific dose is unclear - how many seeds should be taken per kilogram of weight.
In addition, many plants used to repel parasites are simply toxic, such as the male fern.
Traditional medicine has no idea what substances to choose so that they only affect 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 consuming poisonous plants internally on someone's advice, think "seven times" before ingesting their decoction or infusion.
Medicines are without all those conventions and disadvantages that are characteristic of herbal medicine.Therefore, before looking in pharmacies and markets for which herbs remove parasites from the body, it is enough to consult a doctor.
