Is it possible to get rid of worms in the human body with folk remedies?Of course, the actual treatment of diseases caused by parasitic worms must be performed by a parasitologist.This medical specialty is quite rare.
What if there is no such doctor?How can you remove parasites from the body using folk remedies?
About folk remedies
Of course, you can try to get rid of parasites in the body with folk remedies, but nothing more than that.After all, a sign of correctly performed deworming is the absence (and threefold) of signs of helminths and their eggs in the material under study or a negative result of serological diagnosis, for example, using the ELISA method.Of course, before treatment the parasite must be identified and after treatment it must disappear.
Eliminating parasites with folk remedies by any means does not include follow-up examinations.You can abandon the diagnosis: the majority of users of folk remedies do not even know why they take them.
Therefore, at home, you cannot remove parasites from the body, but use folk remedies that can cause some discomfort to the parasites, of course, if any.For example, there are parasitic cysts in echinococcosis in the brain, with a membrane so dense that even drugs that penetrate it have no effect on the larvae: they need to be promptly removed.So the claim that some folk remedies can get rid of parasites is largely arbitrary.
To help medicine
However, many herbal treatments can provide every possible assistance in complex therapy if taken in conjunction with medications prescribed by a doctor and with a solid diagnosis.Which herbs can remove parasites from the body?
The following medicinal plants have antihelminthic effects:
- pumpkin seeds.Not only do they kill worms, they are also delicious.The active ingredient is located in the membrane surrounding the seeds.Traditional medicine advises preparing 100 seeds, divided into 4 doses, and in the evening drink Vaseline or vegetable oil in the amount of 2 tablespoons.The seeds paralyze the worms' muscles, and the laxative "pushes" them out.The only criterion for effectiveness is the detection of immobile worms in the stool.
- garlic.You can simply eat more garlic in your food, both fresh and as part of horseradish.Some recommend using garlic enemas, but they do more harm than good: you can burn the mucous membrane of the rectum and “enema” to fissures or erosion of the anus;
- Sage.Since ancient times, sage has been considered an appetite stimulant and anthelmintic.Bed sheets made from fresh wormwood also help repel fleas from dogs and cats.For treatment, people use infusion of wormwood leaves, which can be purchased at the pharmacy;
- Dandelion root parts.They contain the 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 fragrant herb is famous for its essential oils, which are hated by parasitic worms - helminths.You can drink tea by brewing fresh parts of the plant and letting the tea brew.You can drink ½ cup, 3 times a day, for 10-14 days.
It should be clearly understood that, unlike drugs, there is no guarantee that the plant contains the required dose of active ingredients.In addition, its effect will in any case be much weaker than that of medicinal drugs.The issue of dosage is also completely unclear, especially for children.For example, people say “take a hundred seeds” and that's it.It's all because the specific dosage is unclear - how many seeds are needed per kilogram of weight.
Additionally, many plants used to repel parasites are toxic, such as male ferns.
Traditional medicine does not know which substances to choose so that they only affect the metabolic characteristics of the parasite, but at the same time do not harm humans.This is the fate of medical science and pharmacology.So, when consuming poisonous herbs inside on someone's advice, think "seven times" before swallowing their decoction or infusion.
The medicine does not have all the conventions and disadvantages typical of herbal medicines.Therefore, before going to pharmacies and markets to buy herbs that remove parasites from the body, you just need to consult your doctor.
