Effective remedies to fight against parasites at home

Serious disturbances in the digestive system, interrupted sleep and increased nervousness, spots on the skin, loss of weight and appetite - these are just some of the symptoms you will encounter when you are infected with worms. However, treatment with helminths can be no less dangerous than they themselves.

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

Advantages and disadvantages of folk remedies

Today, the pharmacological market offers dozens of names of tablets, capsules and granules. However, not all infected people rush to buy them as soon as they find out about their diagnosis.

Every year more and more people choose traditional medicine.

And no wonder, because it has a number of advantages, including:

1. Security.The main problem with drugs is their high toxicity. By destroying the 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 both 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, home treatment 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 endanger folk remedies. The main components of "grandmother's" recipes can always be found in any pharmacy or store.
4. Versatility.Medicines have a rather large list of side effects and therefore are not suitable for everyone. Herbal preparations against worms can be taken by average people and people from the high-risk category: children, pregnant women, nursing mothers.
5. Reliability.Medicines appear and disappear, replacing each other on the shelves at a fairly active rate. At the same time, some of them do not even pass mandatory checks and are not registered in the state. register of drugs approved for use. At the same time, folk remedies have passed the main test - the test of time. They have clearly demonstrated their effectiveness, because with their help our grandmothers successfully treated worms, and they had never even heard of the new tablets.

As for the disadvantages of traditional medicine, among them we can single out only the healing time. The drugs remove the worms in one or two applications. For those who take tinctures and herbal preparations, treatment can last more than a month.

Note!If the worm infection appears in a severe stage, folk remedies alone will not help you. In this case, a comprehensive treatment against parasites should be used, which will include drugs and folk remedies for parasites.

Other folk remedies for worms

If you have neither the time nor the desire to mess with various tinctures and decoctions, and you need the result "yesterday", you can resort to the help of products that, if they do not kill worms, then allow them to remain in the body. extremely unpleasant.

This includes:

• Sauerkraut.Drink half a glass of brine based on it three times a day, half an hour before meals, and the parasites (most often Giardia) that attack your gallbladder and liver will soon leave your body alone.
• Strawberry and blackcurrant.These berries contain active substances that serve as a real poison for lamblia and pinworms. Therefore (if possible) you must eat them as much 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 (without adding oil, of course) and use them for a light snack or as a complete snack.
• Watermelon seeds.Grind watermelon seeds and cover them with milk (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 50-100 grams. nuts daily for two months, and the result will not take long to arrive.

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

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

Enemas

The main disadvantage of most medical and folk remedies for worm control is that they are effective only against adult worms, while they are minimally effective against eggs and larvae. In addition, dead parasites remain in the intestines for some time, serving as food for their surviving brothers.

Therefore, if you want the treatment to be as fast and effective as possible, enemas should also be included in addition to medication. Not only will it clean the lower part of the intestine from eggs and parasite remains, but it will help to get rid of constipation and stabilize the work of the intestines.

Today, the two most common enema recipes are:

• The first is based on garlic

  It is great for both adults and their children. And in case of individual intolerance, garlic can be replaced with onion or tansy. The recipe for such an enema is simple: one head of garlic must be chopped and poured with boiling water (100 ml). Mix the solution well and let it stand for 12-15 hours. After this time, it must be filtered and put into an enema.

  The duration of the cleaning depends on the extent of the infection: in the initial stages, a week is enough, in the later stages, the treatment should last at least 14 days. If you want to repeat the course, you should do it no later than one week after finishing the previous one.

• The other is based on soda

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

  Preparation is quite simple: take boiled water at room temperature (1 liter) and add a teaspoon of soda to it. Allow the baking soda to dissolve, then mix the solution well. Cleaning should be done every other day.

  The length of the course (as in the case of garlic) depends on the progress of the infection. If there are not so many worms in the body yet, it is enough to clean yourself for a week.

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

So that the use of the enema is not wasted, the following rules should be followed when cleaning:

1. Before starting the procedure, be sure to go to the toilet. In this way, you will empty the intestines and make the removal of pests as efficient as possible.
2. Clean the body in the evening or even at night, when the worms are most active in their migration. The best option is before going to bed or 4-5 hours after the last meal.
3. After taking the solution, try to keep it in the body for at least 20-30 minutes. This will hit a large number of worms and improve the cleaning effect.
4. If the use of the enema causes side effects (for example, diarrhea, diarrhea, allergic reaction), stop the course immediately and contact your doctor as soon as possible.
5. If the infection has reached serious proportions, do 2-3 enemas in a row to enhance the cleansing effect.

Although the listed folk remedies for the treatment and expulsion of worms are of plant origin, it would be wrong to call them absolutely safe.

People may be allergic or hypersensitive to certain components of infusions and decoctions. . Therefore, whichever option you decide on, do not forget to consult your doctor first. He will not only help you find the safest folk anthelmintic for humans, but also choose the optimal dose and adjust the course of treatment.

Diet as a means of combating worms

Regardless of which treatment methods you choose (traditional or medical), you will have to forget about your usual diet for a while. In order not to provide the parasites with additional resources for active reproduction, you will have to adhere to a certain diet. However, most patients will find it gentle, 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.

Welcome	Forbidden	It is recommended to limit
Fermented dairy products (kefir, fermented baked milk). Butter and olive oil (in moderation). Fruits and vegetables with high fiber content. Rough bread. Foods rich in vitamins A, B and C (yolk, fish oil, peas, red pepper, etc. ). Peanuts and walnuts. Onions, garlic, pumpkin seeds and other natural anthelmintic products.	Alcohol. Cigarettes and tobacco in all forms. Root vegetables (potatoes, zucchini, sweet potatoes, etc. ). So what. Products with a high starch content. Products that cause fermentation processes in the body.	Sweets. Coffee and beverages containing coffee. Foods with a high fat content. Milk. Foods that slow down the digestive process and cause constipation.

As you can see, this diet really has no serious restrictions. Therefore, it will not be difficult to adhere to it. However, we reiterate that this is just a sample diet plan. In a certain case, the diet should be selected by the parasitologist based on the individual characteristics of the patient.

Preventive measures

Diet, medicinal infusions, enemas - all this is, of course, good. But what good is treatment if re-infection occurs immediately after treatment?

Folk remedies for helminths will be useful only if you follow the following rules while taking them:

• Wash your hands thoroughly upon returning home, after going to the toilet and before every (even small) meal;
• Monitor the condition of your pets: keep them clean, regularly examine them at the vet, feed them with appropriate food;
• Properly process food before eating: pour boiling water over raw vegetables and fruits, properly cook meat and fish (boil, fry);
• Do not drink water from the tap or from untested natural sources;
• Be more selective in intimate relationships, and also do not kiss strangers and animals;
• Wash and launder purchased items immediately after purchase.

Of course, if the infection has already occurred, these precautions will be useless. However, if you stick to them after recovery, you won't have to think long about how to deal with worms at home.
