- The ideal option is freshly squeezed juices: they expel parasites and saturate them with vitamins. By the way, carrots and pomegranates, cabbage and beets come in handy. When health permits, do not refuse raw vegetables: pumpkin, onions, radishes and garlic, walnuts and carrots. It’s time to buy pumpkin seeds, especially unroasted and unpeeled fruits.
- The anthelmintic effect and spectrum of action of herbal tea: with lingonberry and strawberry leaves, valerian, chamomile, lavender and marigold.
It is important not to self-medicate; changes in the menu - vegetable juices and herbal intake - must be agreed upon with your doctor.
Prevention of worms
In order not to pick up worms, you should not violate preventive measures:
- Subject meat and fish to thorough heat treatment to kill parasites.
- Do not eat in dubious public catering establishments where hygiene requirements for the conditions of food preparation are violated.
- It is undesirable to eat sushi: raw fish is used in cooking.
- Give up fast food. Sellers at street retail outlets sometimes violate sanitary standards. Flies, carriers of helminth eggs, easily get to the goods that are located on the counter.
- Swimming in open reservoirs, in the vicinity of which large horned animals graze. In addition, swimming in a widely accessible pool is also risky: certificates from parasitologists are not asked.
- Boil water before use.
- Wash fruits and vegetables regularly. Unwashed berries and herbs from a summer cottage are dangerous: strawberries, raspberries, parsley, dill.
- Remember to wash your hands after using the toilet and before eating.
- Contact with pets facilitates the transmission of helminths to their owners. It is extremely important to keep animals clean and constantly carry out antiparasitic protection. After interacting with your pets, it is a good idea to wash your hands.
Thus, in the arsenal of traditional medicine there are plenty of effective remedies, which are also inexpensive and safe, which can defeat helminthiasis. However, it is important to remember that the disease is easier and simpler to prevent than to treat.
