Is it possible to get rid of worms in the human body using folk remedies or not?Of course, 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 carried out deworming is the absence (and threefold) 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 treatment the parasite must be identified, and after treatment it must disappear.
Getting rid of parasites using folk remedies, by any means, does not include a follow-up examination.You can give up on the diagnosis: the overwhelming number of people taking folk remedies don’t even know why they are taking them.
Therefore, at home, you can not rid the body of parasites, but take folk remedies that can cause the parasite some discomfort, if there is any, of course.There are, for example, parasitic cysts in echinococcosis in the brain, with such a dense membrane that even medications through it have no effect on the larvae: they need to 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 assistance in complex therapy if taken together with medications prescribed by a doctor, with a firmly established 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 substance is located in the film surrounding the seeds.Traditional medicine advises preparing 100 seeds, dividing them into 4 doses, and in the evening drinking either Vaseline or vegetable oil in the amount of 2 tablespoons.The seeds paralyze the muscles of the helminths, and the laxative “drives” them out.The only criterion for effectiveness is the detection of immobile worms in 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 mucous membrane of the rectum 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 drives fleas out of dogs and cats.For treatment, an infusion of wormwood leaves is used, which can be bought at a pharmacy;
- dandelion root parts.They contain a 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 aromatic herb is famous for its essential oil, which is very disliked by parasitic worms - helminths.You can drink tea by brewing 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 dosage of the active substance.In addition, its effect in any case will be much weaker than that of a medical drug.The issue of dosage is also completely unclear, especially in relation to children.It is said, for example, “take a hundred seeds,” and that’s all.This is all due to the fact that the specific dosage is unclear - how many seeds to take per kilogram of weight.
In addition, many plants used to expel parasites are simply toxic, 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 destiny of the science of medicine and pharmacology.Therefore, when consuming poisonous herbs internally on someone’s advice, think “seven times” before swallowing their decoction or infusion.
Medicines are devoid of all those conventions and disadvantages that are characteristic of herbal medicine.Therefore, before looking in pharmacies and markets for what herbs remove parasites from the body, just consult a doctor.
