Effective remedies to combat parasites at home

Serious disturbances in the digestive system, sleep interruptions and increased nervousness, spots on the skin, loss of weight and appetite - these are just some of the symptoms that you will experience when infected with worms. However, treating helminths cannot be less dangerous than themselves.

An incorrectly chosen course, an overdose, an acute allergic reaction - all this can cause irreparable harm to your health. So let's talk about how to get rid of worms at home and whether it is worth changing traditional medicine to traditional medicine.

Advantages and disadvantages of folk remedies

Today, the pharmacological market offers dozens of names of tablets, capsules and granules. However, not everyone who is infected rushes to buy them as soon as they learn of their diagnosis.

Every year more and more people choose traditional medicine.

And no wonder, because it has many advantages, including:

1. Security.The main problem with drugs is their high toxicity. Destroying parasites, they gradually accumulate in the body, causing damage to the liver and other internal organs. Folk remedies for worms, on the contrary, consist exclusively of products of plant origin. They are absolutely safe for adults and children and therefore can be prescribed at any age.
2. Price.Although you will have to pay a lot of money for branded drugs, treatment at home will cost much less. The components of tinctures and mixtures are used everywhere and are therefore inexpensive.
3. Availability.Artificial or natural shortages often occur for many tablets. This does not threaten folk remedies. The main components of "grandmother’s" recipes can always be found in any pharmacy or grocery store.
4. Versatility.The medications have a fairly long list of side effects and therefore are not suitable for everyone. Herbal preparations against worms can be taken by both the average person and people belonging to a high-risk category: children, pregnant women, nursing mothers.
5. Reliability.Medications appear and disappear, replacing themselves on the shelves at a fairly active pace. At the same time, some of them are not even subject to mandatory checks and are not registered with the state. register of drugs approved for use. At the same time, folk remedies have passed the main test - the test of time. They clearly demonstrated their effectiveness, because with their help our grandmothers were successfully treated for worms, although they had never heard of the latest generation tablets.

As for the shortcomings of traditional medicine, among them we can only highlight the healing time. The medications eliminate worms in one or two applications. For those taking tinctures and herbal preparations, treatment may take more than a month.

Note!If infection with worms occurs at a serious stage, folk remedies alone will not help. In this case, a comprehensive treatment should be used to combat parasites, which will include both medications and folk remedies for parasites.

Traditional medicine and its varieties

Pomegranate decoction

Note!Regardless of which worm removal method you choose, self-medication usually only makes the problem worse. Therefore, if you do not want to face the consequences of an overdose or incorrect selection of the drug, be sure to consult a parasitologist before starting treatment.

Other folk remedies for worms

If you have neither the time nor the desire to tinker with various tinctures and decoctions, and you need the result "yesterday", you can resort to products that, if they do not kill worms, then do theirstay in the body. extremely uncomfortable.

These include:

• Sauerkraut.Drink half a glass of brine based on this solution three times a day, half an hour before meals, and the parasites (most often Giardia) that attack your gallbladder and liver will soon leave the body alone.
• Strawberry and blackcurrant.These berries contain active substances which constitute a real poison for lamblia and pinworms. Therefore (if possible) you should eat as much of it as possible, especially during the season.
• Pumpkin (or coriander) seeds.If you don't like the solution we wrote above, pierce the seeds in a pan (necessarily without adding oil) and use them for a light snack or as a full snack.
• Watermelon seeds.Grind the watermelon seeds and pour milk over them (in a ratio of one to ten). By taking this mixture twice a day, you will forget about parasites for a long time.
• Pine nuts.Eat 50 to 100 grams. nuts daily for two months, and the result will not take long to arrive.

However, remember that these products are not a panacea for helminths. Simply adding them to your diet will not eliminate parasites, although they are more than effective as a means of prevention.

It would be better to combine their consumption with the use of folk remedies. But even in this case, you should not expect a quick result. Therefore, if an infection occurs and you do not want to poison your body with chemicals, prepare for long-term treatment.

Enemas

The main disadvantage of most medicinal and folk remedies for combating worms is that they are effective only against adult worms, while they have minimal effect on eggs and larvae. In addition, dead parasites remain for some time in the intestines, serving as food for their surviving brethren.

Therefore, if you want the treatment to be as quick and effective as possible, in addition to taking medications, you should also include enemas. They will not only cleanse the lower intestine of eggs and remnants of parasites, but also help eliminate constipation and stabilize intestinal function.

Today, the two most common enema recipes are:

• The first is garlic based

  It's great for adults and their children. And in case of individual intolerance, garlic can be replaced with onions or tansy. The recipe for such an enema is simple: a head of garlic must be chopped and poured with boiling water (100 ml). Mix the solution thoroughly and leave to infuse for 12 to 15 hours. After this time, it will need to be filtered and put into an enema.

  The duration of cleaning depends on the extent of the infection: in the early stages, a week is enough; in later stages, treatment should last at least 14 days. If you wish to repeat the course, you must do so no earlier than one week after the end of the previous course.

• The second is soda based

  This recipe is no longer particularly suitable for children, because their immunity is not yet so strong and soda can have a negative effect on the internal intestinal microflora. For adults, on the contrary, such an enema is absolutely safe.

  Its preparation is quite simple: take boiled water at room temperature (1 liter) and add a teaspoon of soda to it. Allow the soda to dissolve, then mix the solution thoroughly. Cleaning should be done every two days.

  The duration of treatment (as in the case of garlic) depends on the progression of the infection. If there are not so many worms in the body yet, it is enough to cleanse it for a week.

  If they have already developed vigorous activity, it takes at least 2 weeks to remove parasites from the body using an enema.

To prevent the use of an enema from going to waste, when cleaning you must adhere to the following rules:

1. Before starting the procedure, be sure to go to the toilet. This way you will empty the intestines and make the elimination of parasites as efficient as possible.
2. Clean the body in the evening or even at night, when the worms are most active in migration. The best option is before bed or 4-5 hours after the last meal.
3. After entering the solution, try to keep it inside the body for at least 20-30 minutes. This will hit a large number of worms and improve the cleaning effect.
4. If using an enema causes side effects (e. g. , diarrhea, diarrhea, allergic reaction), stop treatment immediately and consult your doctor as soon as possible.
5. If the infection has reached serious proportions, perform 2-3 consecutive enemas to enhance the cleansing effect.

Although the above folk remedies for treating and expelling worms are of plant origin, it would be wrong to call them absolutely safe.

People may be allergic or have a hypersensitivity reaction to certain components of infusions and decoctions.. Therefore, whichever option you choose, remember to consult your doctor first. He will not only help you find the safest popular anthelmintic for humans, but also select the optimal dosage and adjust the course of treatment.

Diet as a way to combat worms

Regardless of which treatment method you choose (traditional or medicinal), you will have to forget about your usual diet for a while. In order not to provide parasites with additional resources for active reproduction, you will need to adhere to a certain regime. However, for most patients it will seem mild, as there are no strict restrictions.

As a rule, the list of available dishes is prescribed by a parasitologist. Therefore, for your reference, we provide an approximate list of permitted and prohibited products.

To welcome	Forbidden	It is advisable to limit
Fermented milk products (kefir, fermented baked milk). Butter and olive oil (in moderation). High fiber fruits and vegetables. Coarse bread. Foods rich in vitamins A, B and C (egg yolks, fish oil, peas, red pepper, etc. ). Peanuts and nuts. Onions, garlic, pumpkin seeds and other natural anthelmintic products.	Alcohol. Cigarettes and tobacco in all forms. Root vegetables (potatoes, squash, sweet potatoes, etc. ). Pasta. Products with a high starch content. Products that cause fermentation processes in the body.	Candy. Coffee and drinks containing coffee. Dishes with a high fat content. Milk. Foods that slow down digestive processes and cause constipation.

As you can see, this diet really has no serious restrictions. It will therefore not be difficult to join. However, we repeat that this is just an example of a nutritional plan. In a particular case, the diet should be chosen by a parasitologist based on the individual characteristics of the patient.

Preventive measures

Diets, healing infusions, enemas - all this, of course, is good. But what good is treatment if reinfection occurs immediately after treatment?

Folk remedies for helminths will be beneficial only if, in addition to taking them, you adhere to the following rules:

• Wash your hands thoroughly when you get home, after using the toilet and before every meal (even small ones);
• Monitor the condition of your animals: keep them clean, regularly examine them by a veterinarian, give them the right food;
• Treat food well before eating it: pour boiling water over raw vegetables and fruits, cook meat and fish well (bake, fry);
• Do not drink tap water or water from unverified natural sources;
• Be more selective in intimate relationships and also do not kiss strangers and animals;
• Wash and wash purchased items immediately after purchase.

Of course, if infection has already occurred, these precautions will be useless. However, if you follow them after recovery, you will not have to think for long about how to deal with worms at home.
