Before thinking about how to get rid of parasites in the body, it is advisable to perform tests to confirm the presence of intruders and identify their type. After all, any treatment can have side effects, which means that the treatment should be directed and not pointless.
Types of parasites
The most common parasites in humans are:
- round worms (globular worms, pinworms);
- flatworms (tapeworms, tapeworms, echinococcus);
- protozoa (amoeba, lamblia, chlamydia, trichomonas, toxoplasmosis);
- mushroom;
- bacteria.
The most common worms (parasitic worms) in humans are pinworms and roundworms. Most often, children suffer from enterobiasis (a disease caused by the presence of pinworms in the body) and ascaris infection, as the eggs of these parasites enter the body mainly with dirty hands. In the presence of pinworms or roundworms, usually every household in a family member becomes infected.
Of the protozoa, Giardia is the most common. Due to poor hand hygiene, they also get into the body.
Symptoms of a parasitic infection
The most obvious symptoms of human infection with parasitic organisms are:
- constipation or diarrhea, bloating;
- muscle and joint pain;
- allergic manifestations, skin rashes, acne or eczema;
- obesity or excessive weight loss;
- sleep disturbance, chronic fatigue;
- a sharp decrease in immunity.
How to get rid of parasites
Drug treatment
There are many medicines in medicine that are designed to remove various parasites from the human body. The most famous and frequently used antiparasitic agents in the human body are:
- anthelmintics;
- tapeworm drugs;
- tablets against flatworms.
Antiparasitic drugs in the human body are targeted at a particular type of parasite organism and can only be prescribed by a person skilled in the art after performing the necessary tests to identify a particular type of parasite. In addition, some medicines used to treat serious infections are only taken in a hospital under the supervision of a doctor.
All drugs used to cleanse the body of parasites mainly affect only adults, while eggs are not killed by such pills. Therefore, it is usually necessary to repeat such medications a few weeks after the first dose. The dosage and route of administration are strictly prescribed by your doctor, and there are significant differences between adults and children (in addition, many medications are not allowed in childhood).
Antiparasitic agents are very effective, but they have a major drawback - they are toxic and have many side effects. Therefore, only a doctor should prescribe it to adults and children.
Side effects
The main side effects of the parasite tablets are:
- nausea and vomiting;
- painful feelings in the abdomen;
- headache, dizziness, confusion;
- impaired coordination of movements;
- impaired liver and kidney function, kidney failure;
- numbness or tremors in the limbs;
- rapid fatigue;
- convulsions;
- sleep disorders;
- skin dermatitis.
Each drug has its own contraindications that cannot be neglected. The doctor should consider the general condition of the patient before prescribing this or that medication.
Medical treatment for parasites is complex, meaning it should not be limited to taking antiparasitic drugs, as they should be accompanied by drugs designed to protect the liver, improve bile secretion, cleanse the intestines, and strengthen immunity. In addition, there will be a need for antihistamines and drugs that reduce toxic effects.
How to get rid of parasites in the body with folk remedies
Traditional medicine is a worthy substitute for antiparasitic drugs. The most effective products for fighting parasites:
- sage;
- clove seeds;
- Walnut.
How to take wormwood
To combat parasites, dried wormwood fruits should be taken as a powder for 6 days before meals. In this case, start the course with a pinch and gradually fill it into a teaspoon until day 6. Then take 1/2 teaspoon of wormwood powder once a week until it is completely cleansed of parasite organisms.
Clove seed reception system
Cloves are a spice used for cooking. Its burning properties increase immunity and kill various parasites. In order to use this condiment as a medicine, it should be taken three times a day before meals. On the first day 1/5 teaspoon, on the second - between 3 and 10 - 1/3 teaspoon. Next - a whole spoon until complete recovery.
Nuts against parasites
To make the walnut tincture, approx. 15 ripe fruits should be finely chopped, then 0, 5 liters of alcohol should be poured into it and left in a place protected from light for 20 days. Once the tincture is done, it should be taken on an empty stomach. On day 1, you should take 1 drop of the medicine you received after dissolving it in half a glass of water. Add 1 drop every day for 5 days. On day 6, drink 2 teaspoons dissolved in a glass of water.
The effect of these folk remedies will be more effective if their use is combined.
Among other things, fasting is an effective tool in the fight against parasites, but this method can be used very carefully, as prolonged fasting can have an extremely negative effect on the general state of human health and undermine metabolism.
It should be recalled that in order to avoid unwanted side effects, the doctor should be consulted to cleanse the body of the parasite with folk remedies, including fasting.
