Is it possible to get rid of worms in the human body with 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 with folk remedies, but nothing more.Finally, an indicator of correctly carried out deworming is the absence (and threefold) of signs of helminths and their eggs in the test material or negative results of serological diagnostics, for example using the ELISA method.Of course, the parasite must be identified before treatment and after treatment it must disappear.
Getting rid of parasites with folk remedies does not involve a follow-up examination.You can abandon the diagnosis: the vast majority of people who take folk remedies do not even know why they are taking them.
Therefore, you cannot rid the body of parasites at home, but take folk remedies that can cause the parasite some discomfort, if there is any, of course.For example, in echinococci there are parasitic cysts in the brain, the membrane of which is so dense that even drugs that penetrate through them have no effect on the larvae: they must be removed immediately.Therefore, the statement that some folk remedies can eliminate parasites is largely arbitrary.
To help medication
However, many herbal remedies can provide comprehensive help in complex therapy in combination with medication prescribed by a doctor and with a confirmed diagnosis.What herbs can remove parasites from the body?
The following medicinal plants have anthelmintic effects:
- Pumpkin seeds.Not only are they harmful to worms, but they are also delicious.The active ingredient is in the film that surrounds the seeds.Traditional medicine recommends preparing 100 seeds, dividing them into 4 doses and drinking either petroleum jelly or vegetable oil in the amount of 2 tablespoons in the evening.The seeds paralyze the muscles of the helminths and the laxative “expels” them.The only criterion for effectiveness is the detection of immobile worms in the feces.
- Garlic.You can simply eat a lot of garlic in foods, both fresh and as part of a horseradish.Some recommend garlic enemas, but they do more harm than good: they can burn the mucous membrane of the rectum and lead to a tear 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 on dogs and cats.For treatment, an infusion of wormwood leaves is used, which can be purchased at the pharmacy;
- Dandelion root parts.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 dried roots;
- thyme.This aromatic herb is famous for its essential oil, which is very disliked by parasitic worms - helminths.You can drink tea by brewing and steeping fresh plant parts.You can drink half a glass three times a day for 10-14 days.
It must be understood that, unlike medicines, there is no guarantee that the plant contains the required dosage of the active ingredient.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 for children.For example, they say, “Take a hundred seeds,” and that’s all.This is all due to the fact that the exact dosage is unclear - how many seeds should be taken per kilogram of weight.
In addition, many plants used to get rid of parasites are simply poisonous, such as the worm fern.
Traditional medicine has no idea which substances to choose so that they only affect the metabolic properties of the parasite, but at the same time do not cause harm to humans.This is the fate of the science of medicine and pharmacology.Therefore, if you consume poisonous herbs internally on the advice of another person, think “seven times” before swallowing their decoction or infusion.
Medicines do not have the conventions and disadvantages that are characteristic of herbal medicine.Therefore, just consult a doctor before looking for herbs that remove parasites from the body in pharmacies and markets.
