Is it possible to get rid of worms in the human body using folk remedies or not?Of course, the real treatment of diseases caused by parasitic worms should be carried out by a parasitologist.This medical specialty is quite rare.
What if there is no such doctor?How can you 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 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 the treatment the parasite must be identified, and after the treatment it must disappear.
Getting rid of parasites with folk remedies, in any way, does not include a follow-up examination.You can give up the diagnosis: a huge 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 some discomfort to the parasite, if any, of course.There are, for example, parasitic cysts in echinococcosis in the brain, with such a dense membrane that even drugs through it do not affect the larvae: they need to be removed immediately.Therefore, the statement that some folk remedies can get rid of parasites is mostly arbitrary.
To help with medication
However, many herbal medicines can provide all possible help in complex therapy if they are taken together with medicines prescribed by a doctor, with a firmly established diagnosis.Which plants can remove parasites from the body?
The following medicinal plants have an anthelmintic effect:
- pumpkin seeds.They are not only destructive to worms, but also tasty.The active substance is found in the film that surrounds the seeds.Traditional medicine advises you to prepare 100 seeds, divide them into 4 doses, and drink vaseline or vegetable oil in the amount of 2 tablespoons in the evening.The seeds paralyze the helminth's muscles, and the laxative "drives" them away.The only criterion of effectiveness is the detection of immobile worms in feces.
- garlic.You can simply eat a lot of garlic in your food, both fresh and as part of horseradish.Some recommend enemas with garlic, but they do more harm than good: you can burn the rectal mucosa and "enema" to a crack or erosion of the anus;
- sagebrush.Since ancient times, bitter wormwood has been considered an appetite stimulant and anthelmintic.Fresh wormwood bedding also repels fleas from dogs and cats.An infusion of wormwood leaves, which can be purchased at a pharmacy, is used for treatment;
- parts of dandelion roots.They contain a special alkaloid taraxacin, which has a harmful effect on nematodes and tapeworms.It is used in the form of a decoction of the dried root;
- thyme.This aromatic plant is known for its essential oil, which is highly disliked by parasitic worms - helminths.You can drink tea by boiling 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.In addition, its effect will in any case be much weaker than the medical remedy.The question of dosage is also completely unclear, especially in relation to children.It is said, for example, "take a hundred seeds," and that is all.This is all due to the fact that the specific dose is unclear - how many seeds to take per kilogram of weight.
In addition, many plants used to expel parasites are simply poisonous, such as male fern.
Traditional medicine has no idea what substances to choose so that they affect only 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 herbs internally on someone's advice, think “seven times” before ingesting their decoction or infusion.
Medicines are devoid of all those conventions and shortcomings that are characteristic of herbal medicine.Therefore, before you look in pharmacies and markets for herbs that remove parasites from the body, just consult a doctor.
