Is it possible to get rid of worms in the human body using folk remedies or not?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 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 threefold) 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 with the help of folk remedies, in any case, does not include a control examination.You can give up on the diagnosis: the vast majority of people taking folk remedies don't even know why they take them.
Therefore, at home, it is not possible to rid the body of parasites, but to take folk remedies that can cause some discomfort to the parasite, if there is any, of course.There are, for example, parasitic cysts in echinococcosis in the brain, with such a dense membrane that even drugs using it have no effect on the larvae - they must be removed promptly.Therefore, the statement that some folk remedies can get rid of parasites is largely arbitrary.
To help medications
However, many herbal remedies can provide all possible help in complex therapy if taken together with drugs prescribed by a doctor, with a certain diagnosis.What herbs can remove parasites from the body?
The following medicinal plants have anthelmintic effects:
- pumpkin seeds.They are not only destructive to worms, but also tasty.The active ingredient is found in the film surrounding the seeds.Traditional medicine recommends preparing 100 seeds, dividing them into 4 doses and drinking petroleum jelly or vegetable oil in the evening in the amount of 2 tablespoons.The seeds paralyze the muscles of the helminths and the laxative “drives them away”.The only criterion of effectiveness is the detection of immobile worms in the feces.
- garlic.You can simply eat a lot of garlic in food, both fresh and as part of a horseradish.Some recommend garlic enemas, but they do more harm than good: you can burn the mucosa of the rectum and "enema" to a crack or erosion of the anus;
- mugwort.Since ancient times, bitter wormwood has been considered an appetite stimulant and anthelmintic.Fresh wormwood litter also repels fleas from dogs and cats.For the treatment, an infusion of wormwood leaves is used, which can be purchased in pharmacies;
- parts of the dandelion root.They contain a special alkaloid taraxacin, which has a harmful effect on roundworms 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 greatly hated by parasitic worms: helminths.You can drink tea by brewing fresh parts of the plant and letting it ferment.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 dosage of the active substance.Furthermore, its effect will still be much weaker than that of a drug.The question of dosage is also not entirely clear, especially with regard to children.They say, for example, “take a hundred seeds”, and that's it.All this is due to the fact that the specific dosage is unclear: how many seeds to take per kilogram of weight.
Additionally, many plants used to expel parasites are simply toxic, such as the male fern.
Traditional 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 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 those conventions and disadvantages characteristic of phytotherapy.Therefore, before looking in pharmacies and markets which herbs remove parasites from the body, just consult a doctor.
