Is it possible or not to get rid of worms in the human body using folk remedies?Of course, the actual treatment of diseases caused by parasitic worms should be carried out by a parasitologist.This medical specialty is quite rare.
What if there was no such doctor?How to rid 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 carried out deworming is the absence (and triple) of signs of helminths and their eggs in the studied 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.
Getting rid of parasites using folk remedies in no case includes a follow-up examination.You can forgo diagnosis: the vast majority of people who take folk remedies don't even know why they are taking them.
Therefore, at home you can not rid the body of parasites, but take folk remedies that can cause some discomfort to the parasite, if any, of course.For example, there are parasitic cysts in the brain of echinococcosis, the membrane of which is so dense that even drugs passing through it have no effect on the larvae: they must be removed quickly.Therefore, the claim that certain folk remedies can eliminate parasites is largely arbitrary.
To help medications
However, many herbal remedies can provide all possible help in complex therapy if taken in combination with medications prescribed by a doctor, with a firmly established diagnosis.What herbs can eliminate parasites from the body?
The following medicinal plants have anthelmintic effects:
- pumpkin seeds.They are not only destructive for worms, but also tasty.The active substance is located in the film surrounding the seeds.Traditional medicine advises to prepare 100 seeds, divide them into 4 doses, and drink in the evening either vaseline or vegetable oil in the amount of 2 tablespoons.The seeds paralyze the muscles of the helminths and the laxative “drives them out”.The only criterion for effectiveness is the detection of immobile worms in the stool.
- garlic.You can simply eat plenty of garlic in foods, both fresh and as part of a horseradish.Some recommend garlic enemas, but they do more harm than good: one can burn the lining of the rectum and “enema” to a fissure or erosion of the anus;
- mugwort.Since ancient times, bitter wormwood has been considered an appetite stimulant and dewormer.Fresh wormwood litter 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 detrimental 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 very hated by parasitic worms - helminths.You can drink tea by brewing fresh parts of the plant and letting it steep.You can consume ½ glass, 3 times a day, for 10 to 14 days.
It should be understood that, unlike medications, there is no guarantee that the plant contains the required dose of active substance.In addition, its effect will in any case be much weaker than that of a drug.The question of dosage is also completely unclear, especially with regard to children.For example, we say: “take a hundred seeds”, and that’s it.All this is due to the fact that the specific dosage is not clear - how many seeds to take per kilogram of weight.
Additionally, many plants used to expel pests are simply toxic, such as male fern.
Traditional medicine has no idea which 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 destiny of medical and pharmacological science.Therefore, when consuming poisonous herbs internally on someone's advice, think “seven times” before swallowing their decoction or infusion.
The medicines are devoid of all these conventions and disadvantages characteristic of herbal medicine.Therefore, before looking in pharmacies and markets for which herbs eliminate parasites from the body, just consult a doctor.
