Is it possible to get rid of worms in the human body with home remedies or not?Of course, the actual treatment of diseases caused by parasitic worms must be carried out by a parasitologist.This medical specialty is quite rare.
What if there is no such doctor?How can you eliminate parasites from your body using home remedies?
About home remedies
Of course, you can try to get rid of parasites from the body with the help of folk remedies, but nothing more.After all, an indicator of correctly carried out deworming is the absence (and triple) of signs of helminths and their eggs in the material under study, 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 through home remedies, by any means, does not include a follow-up exam.The diagnosis can be waived: the vast majority of people who take home remedies do not even know why they are taking them.
Therefore, at home you cannot rid your body of parasites, but rather take home remedies that can cause the parasite some discomfort, if any, of course.In echinococcosis, for example, parasitic cysts are found in the brain, with a membrane so dense that even medications through it have no effect on the larvae: it is necessary to eliminate them as soon as possible.Therefore, the claim that some home remedies can eliminate parasites is largely arbitrary.
To help medications
However, many herbal remedies can provide all possible help in complex therapies if taken together with medications prescribed by a doctor, with a firmly established diagnosis.What herbs can eliminate 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 that surrounds the seeds.Traditional medicine advises to prepare 100 seeds, divide them into 4 doses and, at night, drink Vaseline or vegetable oil in an amount of 2 tablespoons.The seeds paralyze the muscles of the helminths and the laxative "expels" them.The only criterion of effectiveness is the detection of immotile worms in the feces.
- garlic.You can simply eat a lot of garlic, both fresh and as part of a horseradish.Some recommend garlic enemas, but they do more harm than good: the mucosa of the rectum can be burned and the “enema” even causes 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 repels fleas from dogs and cats.An infusion of wormwood leaves is used for treatment, which can be purchased at the 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 parasitic worms - helminths - do not like very much.You can drink tea by brewing fresh parts of the plant and letting it steep.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 dose of the active ingredient.Moreover, its effect in any case will be much weaker than that of a medicine.The question of dosage is also not entirely clear, especially in relation to children.It is said, for example, “take a hundred seeds,” and that is all.All this is due to the fact that the specific dosage is not clear: 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 which 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 you consume poisonous herbs internally on someone's advice, think “seven times” before swallowing its decoction or infusion.
Medicines lack all those conventions and disadvantages that are characteristic of herbal medicine.Therefore, before searching in pharmacies and markets for which herbs remove parasites from the body, it is enough to consult a doctor.
