To regain good health, it is necessary to get rid of parasites in the body: this can be done using traditional recipes or medications.Today we will look at the most effective ways to cleanse the body.In the following article you will learn how to get rid of parasites in the body.
Helminths and worms
Helminths or worms are the collective name for multicellular worm-like parasitic organisms that live in the human body.Most worms are found in the intestines, feeding on food from outside, but some can also be found in other internal organs.In most cases, people are unaware that they have parasites in their body.
Moreover, the parasite chooses not only the intestines as its habitat, but also other internal organs - the liver, gallbladder and others.Helminthic infestation is asymptomatic until a certain time, without causing any particular inconvenience.Despite this, it should be understood that infection with worms or helminths can cause serious disorders of the nervous and digestive systems, skin and allergic diseases, as well as cause deterioration of metabolic processes and premature aging of the body.According to some scientists, the presence of helminths slows down the treatment process of many diseases.Parasite eggs enter the human body through dirty hands, unwashed fruits and vegetables, contaminated fish and meat, dirty water, blood-sucking insects and also through contact with soil.In order to prevent the appearance of parasites in the body, you should pay special attention to precautions when communicating with pets - cats and dogs.
What is helminthiasis and why is it dangerous?
In total, there are several hundred species of parasitic worms dangerous to humans in nature.Parasites can enter the body in different ways.Depending on this parameter, they can be divided into three main groups: those living in the external environment - land, water bodies;enter the human body through intermediaries - domestic animals;enter the human body through contact with other people.So, there are many opportunities for a person to get parasites.For example, they can enter our body through pets - cats and dogs, through unwashed hands, unboiled water, undercooked meat, etc.
There are two main groups of parasitic worms: roundworms and flatworms.Rounds include species such as pinworms and roundworms.Flatworms, in turn, are divided into tapeworms and flukes.Typically, tapeworm infestations are the most dangerous and difficult to treat.
Helminthiasis or infection of a person with worms is an extremely unpleasant disease.It leads to intoxication of the body and its exhaustion, weakens its defenses.Therefore, helminthiasis requires careful treatment.
Impact of parasites on the body
Parasites cause damage to individual organs.Mainly the digestive organs, where they live.But parasites also poison the entire body with waste and interfere with the normal absorption of food.The result of long-term coexistence with parasites can lead to serious chronic diseases.Chronic - because the cause of these diseases is not eliminated, but only the disease itself, caused by parasites, is treated.Parasites are especially dangerous for children.In some cases, parasites living in a child's body can cause: developmental delays (physical and mental), delayed puberty and memory problems.
In addition, parasites devour microelements necessary for the human body.For example, silicon is an extremely important element for health, because it participates in the body's absorption of more than 70 mineral salts and vitamins.
Signs of parasite infestation
In most cases, helminthiasis, that is, infection of the body with a parasite, is characterized by problems in the functioning of the digestive system, general weakness and nervousness.But similar signs can indicate other diseases.By the way, nighttime teeth grinding, which can also be considered a symptom of worm infection, sometimes occurs due to a poorly formed bite, otolaryngological diseases or nervous disorders.And a sharp decrease in weight in a patient infected with worms is observed already at an advanced stage.In most cases, helminthiasis, that is, infection of the body with a parasite, is characterized by problems in the functioning of the digestive system, general weakness and nervousness.
The danger of helminths lies in the fact that they have the ability to camouflage themselves well.And yet you need to know what symptoms indicate infection with this or that type of worm.
Signs of availability:
- roundworm: significant increase in temperature;the appearance of a dry or wet cough;skin rashes;sleep disturbances and teeth grinding;the appearance of sharp pain in the right side;decreased appetite;stool problems;
- pinworms: itching sensation in the anal area;loss of appetite;the appearance of dry mouth;frequent urge to go to the toilet, sometimes false;the appearance of headaches;sleep disturbances;the presence of cracks in the anus;urinary incontinence at night.
Preparation Steps Necessary to Remove Parasites from the Body
Before using any method of removing parasites from the body, a person should establish a healthy diet (preferably vegetarian, without fatty and heavy foods), follow a light fasting diet for 1-2 weeks, with an abundance of fresh raw vegetables, fruits, freshly squeezed juices, in the absence of refined foods and sugars.Before using any method of removing parasites from the body, a person must establish a healthy diet.
It is necessary to observe the correct drinking regime - drink clean drinking water (preferably distilled) that is not mineralized.
Immediately before the procedure for removing parasites, it is necessary to undergo courses of cleansing of the kidneys, intestines and liver.
Along with cleaning from parasites, it is recommended to clean the intestines with enemas, especially if a person suffers from constipation.For enemas, you can take decoctions of wormwood, yarrow, tansy, calendula, chamomile, adding them to cool water.
Antihelminthic drugs, types and principle of action
Previously, medicinal plants were used as medicines against worms.For example, it has long been known that plants such as fern, tansy and amaranth are useful in treating parasites in the human body.Eating foods such as pumpkin seeds and garlic can also help fight helminthiasis.
But in severe cases, these remedies for worms and parasites will likely be powerless.In addition, they usually only act on helminths that parasitize the intestines, while some of them can live in other internal organs, for example, the liver, bile ducts and blood vessels.Fortunately, the modern pharmaceutical industry has developed many effective synthetic agents.Therefore, the question of how to get rid of worms with tablets now mainly comes down to the choice of one drug or another.
There are deworming medications specifically designed to treat helminthiasis caused by roundworms.Typically, these anthelmintic medications are the safest and have the fewest side effects.There are also anthelmintic medications to remove tapeworms and flukes from the body.But many anthelmintic drugs act not on a specific type of parasites, but on several groups of them at once.These deworming tablets are called broad-spectrum anthelmintic drugs.There are deworming medications specifically designed to treat helminthiasis caused by roundworms.
Compared to herbal preparations, synthetic dewormers act faster and more effectively.Moreover, the principle of operation of most modern drugs against worms is not to kill parasites, but to paralyze them.This is achieved thanks to special substances contained in antihelminthic drugs that block the functioning of the neuromuscular system of worms.Therefore, they do not die in the intestines, poisoning the body with the products of their decomposition, but break off from the intestinal walls and are excreted with feces.It should be noted, however, that these anti-worm medications only work against adult parasites.They are ineffective against larvae.Therefore, after the first treatment, it is recommended to undergo another treatment a few weeks later to destroy the remaining helminths.
The use of broad-spectrum anti-worm medications is also justified because it is often difficult to determine the type of parasite.In addition, in many cases the body becomes infected with helminths of different types.
The main dosage form of anthelmintic drugs is tablets.There are also dosage forms such as suspensions and rectal suppositories.Suspensions are best for children who have difficulty swallowing or chewing a large tablet.
Suppositories have minimal side effects, but their effectiveness is limited.In addition, they are powerless against parasites that live outside the intestines.Anti-worming tablets are generally made from the following compounds: ethanolamine;salicylamide;pyrazinoisoquinoline;benzimidazole.

Is it possible to get rid of parasites?
Modern parasitology does not know a single deadly drug for all types of helminths.Meanwhile, it is not uncommon for a person to become infected with not one, but several types of parasites.You can select a reliable drug only after determining what type of helminths have infected the body.
Is it possible to treat helminthiasis at home?Of course you can.The only way is to take a medicine at home that is effective against the existing type of parasite.Moreover, even if in the morning stool a paralyzed helminth is expelled from the body, this does not guarantee that it was possible to completely get rid of it.Only laboratory tests can provide accurate confirmation of complete recovery.
You can get rid of parasites with just one tablet in case of multiple types of parasites.Helminths that could settle in the bile ducts and liver require more complex drug treatment.And getting rid of a huge lump in the lungs or liver, inhabited by echinococci, can only be done surgically.If in this case conservative treatment with strong poisons is used, dead parasites will poison the “host” body with decomposition products.You should not self-medicate if you discover a parasite in your home or suspect that it may be present in the body.
And another important factor are the preserved parasite eggs, which carry new life in the form of larvae.This is already dangerous due to internal reinfestation or self-infection if basic hygiene rules are not followed.Toxic drugs, equally effective on mature individuals and on larvae, may have no effect on some types of helminths.And it is even more naive to expect complete cure with folk remedies like garlic and pumpkin seeds.
Conclusion :You should not self-medicate if you discover a parasite in your home or suspect that it may be present in the body.Only a specialist will be able to professionally and competently carry out the necessary treatment and monitor its effectiveness.
If parasites are not detected, the best prevention against their infection is careful washing of hands, vegetables and fruits, reliable culinary processing of fish and meat and merciless fight against egg carriers - flies and cockroaches.It’s good if children are also accustomed to cleanliness.For complete prevention, you can chew pumpkin seeds from time to time.It is advisable to use this folk remedy in moderation so as not to provoke the formation of fecal stones - bezoar.
Worm prevention
At least 100 varieties of worms can exist in a person.To avoid infection, basic prevention should be carried out.It must be followed even after the removal of the worm.
Prevention includes the following measures:
- wash hands, foods that cannot be cooked;
- good cooking of meat and fish;
- avoid drinking water of unknown origin;
- rational diet.
When an animal lives with a person, it should be given anthelmintic drugs.It is then better to take the pills yourself.After all, it is unknown where worm larvae can live.
Parasitic infection can be asymptomatic!Therefore, to find out if you or your child has helminths, it is advisable to get tested.However, it is also possible to detect worms at home: to do this, do an enema and carefully examine the stool: if you notice white worms, you should immediately start treatment for worms.It is especially important to eliminate parasites from a child, because their body is very sensitive to them.
