Is it possible to get rid of worms in the human body with 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 to rid your body of parasites with folk remedies?
About folk remedies
Of course, you can try to get rid of parasites in the body with folk remedies, but nothing more.After all, the indicator of correctly performed deworming is the absence (and triple) of signs of helminths and their eggs in the tested material, or negative results of serological diagnostics, for example, by the ELISA method.Of course, the parasite must be identified before treatment, and it must disappear after treatment.
Getting rid of parasites with folk remedies, in any way, does not include a follow-up examination.You can give up on the diagnosis: the majority of people taking folk remedies don't even know why they are taking them.
Therefore, you cannot rid the body of parasites at home, but you can take folk remedies that may cause some discomfort to the parasite, of course, if there is one.In echinococcosis, for example, there are parasitic cysts in the brain, which have such a dense membrane 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.
Medicines to help
However, many herbal remedies can provide all the 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 herbs are anthelmintic:
- pumpkin seeds.Not only are they destructive to worms, they are also tasty.The active substance is found in the film surrounding the seeds.Traditional medicine advises to prepare 100 seeds, divide into 4 portions and drink petroleum jelly or vegetable oil in the amount of 2 tablespoons in the evening.The seeds paralyze the helminths' muscles, and the laxative "drives" them out.The only criterion for effectiveness is the detection of immobile worms in the feces.
- garlic.You can simply eat a lot of garlic in food, fresh and as part of horseradish.Some people recommend garlic enemas, but they do more harm than good: you can burn the mucous membrane of the rectum and "water it" until the anus cracks or erodes;
- sage.Since ancient times, bitter wormwood has been considered an appetite stimulant and anthelmintic.Fresh worm bedding also repels fleas from dogs and cats.For treatment, an infusion of wormwood leaves is used, which can be purchased at a pharmacy;
- parts of dandelion root.Taraxacin contains a special alkaloid that has a harmful effect on nematodes and tapeworms.It is used in the form of a decoction of dried roots;
- thyme.This aromatic herb is famous for its essential oil, which is highly disliked by parasitic worms - worms.You can drink tea by boiling the fresh parts of the plant and letting it brew.It can be consumed three times a day with ½ glass, for 10-14 days.
It must be clearly understood that, unlike medicines, there is no guarantee that the plant contains the required dose of the active ingredient.In addition, its effect will in any case be much weaker than that of a medical drug.The issue of dosage is also completely unclear, especially in relation to children.For example, they say "buy a hundred seeds" and that's it.This is due to the fact that the specific dosage is not clear - how many seeds should be taken per kilogram.
In addition, many plants used to expel parasites are simply poisonous, such as the male fern.
Conventional 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 pharmacy.Therefore, if you take poisonous herbs on someone's advice, think "seven times" before swallowing their concoction or infusion.
Medicines are free from all the conventions and drawbacks that characterize herbal medicine.Therefore, before you look in pharmacies and markets for herbs that remove parasites from the body, just consult a doctor.
