Humans are exposed to the risk of infecting parasitic life forms on a daily basis as the usual sources of household items, food, insects and pets. The smallest, invisible parasites and their eggs can enter the body and begin to have a devastating effect on human health. Living in regions with unfavorable ecological and hygiene standards and visiting countries with humid and warm climates exacerbates the situation. Knowing the simplest basics of prevention can greatly reduce a person’s risk, but if the likelihood of infection is minimal, more effective measures should be taken. Official and traditional medicine offers an impressive arsenal of therapeutic and prophylactic drugs, and it is advisable to have the most popular and effective treatments for parasites in the human body in the home first aid kit at all times.
Medicines against parasites
The main function of anti-parasitic drugs in the pharmaceutical industry is to rid the human body of adults, regardless of location, to inhibit vital functions, to interrupt the reproductive cycle, and to kill young worms and larvae.
The second necessary effect of a good medicine is the timely removal of dead pests, their metabolites and their decomposition from the body. However, an important parameter in drug selection is the reduced toxicity to human tissues and organs, as the weakened organism can react to new aggressive ingredients in the most unexpected way. The most effective antiparasitic agents in the human body are of low toxicity and show activity only against foreign agents.
It is best to leave the choice of the right medicine to a specialist. After the results of the test and laboratory diagnostics, you will be able to determine the exact type of parasite and prescribe the optimal drug in each specific case. Specialist consultation is also required because all drugs have certain side effects and contraindications, and given the toxicity of anthelmintics, all potential risks to human health must be considered.
Due to the abundance of forms of parasitic worms, most drugs are effective against several varieties and belong to a broad-spectrum drug. The advantage of this class of drugs is their effectiveness when infected with several parasites, but this effect, especially for some drugs, is associated with increased toxicity. Drugs with a broad spectrum of effects include doses for children and adults that should be considered when purchasing.
Visits to exotic countries and the use of raw animal raw materials in the food industry are fraught with the identification of atypical parasites in the region of residence. Therapy in this case requires the use of highly targeted antiparasitic agents. This measure is a prerequisite for quality treatment and provides protection against the toxic effects of parasitic toxins. Targeted drugs are prescribed only if the type of parasite is identified as they are very toxic and can cause poisoning.
The huge advantage of modern drugs with a pronounced antiparasitic effect is the speed of action on the human body. Most drugs can get rid of pests with a single application in a single dose, which significantly reduces the risk of side effects and speeds up the rehabilitation process after exposure to parasitic toxins.
Broad spectrum drugs
Among the wide range of drugs, the most popular and most effective are:
- The first and most toxic drug on the list is one of the most effective drugs active against various types of intestinal parasites. This drug contains carbamic acid methyl ester, which interrupts the reproductive and growth processes in adults, disrupts the metabolic processes of worms, and contributes to their rapid death. It is important to follow the recommended dosage when prescribing this medicine. A small amount only slows down the developmental processes, and excessive exceeding of the norm of the active substance causes severe poisoning in humans.
- It is the most famous drug in the group of tetrahydropyrimidines, the effectiveness of which has been proven by more than a generation. A single dose of the drug in the appropriate dose contributes to the rapid destruction of parasites. The active ingredient causes paralysis of the worm's muscular system, and the immobilized parasite easily leaves the body naturally. This drug is often used as an anthelmintic in children and is also effective in preventing helminthiasis in animals. Another important advantage of the drug is its relatively low cost.
- The active substance is an imidazothiazole derivative that inhibits the ability of parasites to breathe. Adults actively leave the body in search of oxygen, while younger ones die in its absence. Another positive effect of the drug is to enhance the individual's natural immunity. The more active the defense, the lower the chances of the parasites surviving as the body begins to produce its own active ingredients that are effective against the parasite’s toxins. The drug is available in adult and pediatric doses and has low toxicity.
- It is available as convenient, chewable plates, suspensions and standard tablets for oral administration. The active substance in the group of benzimidazoles is effective against various types of Giardia, copes well with all types of worms and has relatively low toxicity. Many experts say this drug is the best cure for parasites in the human body in the group presented. Suitable for children and adults and does not require special instructions and precautions when taken at the recommended dose.
Targeted drugs
Modern diagnostic options allow you to pinpoint the type of parasite and help your doctor prescribe the right antiparasitic agents. The most dangerous diseases are cestodosis and trematodosis. The lesions affect the internal organs - the heart, the liver, the lungs - and lead to irreversible consequences, undermining human health and, in particularly severe cases, life-threatening.
Cestodes are often found in raw meat, so food workers and those who do not follow safety precautions when handling animal products have a high risk of infection. In relation to cestodes, active drugs are highly toxic drugs, so treatment is usually performed in a hospital and concomitant systemic therapy is prescribed to restore the functions of the organs and systems affected by the parasites. The treatment is long, complicated and expensive, making it much easier to follow preventive measures.
Trematodes belong to the class of tapeworms and affect the liver, lungs, and organs of the circulatory system. Despite the unpleasant symptoms and the threatening diagnosis, trematodes respond well to treatment with a drug belonging to the group of pyrazine isoquinolines. The drug is prescribed after a laboratory diagnosis and focuses narrowly on this resistant parasite.
Folk recipes against parasites
Traditional healers and our ancestors have long noticed that some plants show increased activity against parasites. The ingredients in herbs create negative conditions for the life of parasitic individuals in the human body. However, the herbal preparation against parasites is much less toxic and gentle. As a result, herbs with antiparasitic properties can be used in both children and adults.
The effect of exposure is based on different properties of herbs:
- Biting and biting increase the internal temperature, and all kinds of worms are very sensitive to fluctuations. However, the essential oils found in spices affect the life cycle of parasites.
- Bitter herbs reduce moisture levels, which is optimal for most parasitic forms. Under such conditions, reproductive processes are slowed down and young individuals are killed due to unfavorable conditions.
- The taste of sour herbs, vegetables and fruits changes the body’s normal acidity rate and kills worms, destroying their bodies and eggshells.
As with drugs, there are those in the group of herbs that have a variety of effects. The distinguishing feature of their influence is that they influence several factors in the life of parasites at the same time. These herbs are usually less toxic, but need to be taken for a long time to get results.
Herbal medicines can be used as a stand-alone therapy or as an adjunct to an ongoing antiparasitic treatment. Many herbs are toxic, so when choosing, you need to study their properties carefully and determine the correct route of administration correctly. In this case, herbal manuals may help, but it is still worth seeking the advice of a good doctor to reduce the risk of poisoning.
Treatment with herbal remedies for parasites that parasitize the human body can also be done in the form of monotherapy - the use of a plant as the main treatment or the use of fees.
Herbal pharmaceutical preparations have several advantages. They act in several directions at once, affecting the vital functions of parasites, their ability to move and reproduce, and destroying even the least resistant individuals and larvae.
Herbal monotherapy
Antiparasitic plants can not only effectively treat the consequences of infection, but also prevent the risk of parasites being introduced. Most herbs are easy to buy at the pharmacy or collected by hand, and some anthelmintics can be found in the kitchen. However, the simplest plants have very strong anti-parasitic effects.
Carnation
This spice, widely used in pickles, has a pronounced antiparasitic effect and easily helps remove most parasites. The complex effect of the plant is antiseptic, bactericidal and immunostimulatory, enhancing the effect of clove-based products. Formulations containing cloves can be used for both therapeutic and prophylactic purposes. Clove powder has the strongest effect on parasites, and decoctions and infusions are used for a gentler effect. A very good cure for parasites is clove alcohol tincture, which allows the herb to retain its beneficial properties for a long time, making it an indispensable tool during travel.
Garlic
A popular spice and valuable food product, it is also used to get rid of parasites. It contains phytoncides that kill parasites and make them uncomfortable in the human body. Alcoholic or oily tincture of garlic is an affordable and effective treatment, and dried garlic retains the beneficial properties of the fresh product, so it is recommended to use it more often as a seasoning additive during cooking. The closest relative of garlic, onions, are also useful as a natural anthelmintic.
Grenade
Residents of Central Asia and the East use the inedible part of the fruit as a real and highly active anthelmintic. The pomegranate peel contains large amounts of tannins, which reduce moisture in the body’s internal environment. The fruits themselves have a sour taste, which is also not conducive to parasites. It has been found that pomegranate generally has a broad spectrum of effects and has a general strengthening effect on the body. Decoctions and infusions in the pomegranate peel, as well as fruit consumption, help treat helminthiasis.
sage
Wormwood has a very bitter taste and is the most effective of all known parasites. It is ubiquitous in nature and contains valuable organic acids in the structure of the herb derived from parasites. Their effect is detrimental to parasitic forms, as the acid destroys the shells of the eggs of parasitic individuals. The juice of the plant contains valuable essential oil that causes paralysis and then death of young worms, preventing them from continuing to live. Wormwood contains strong tannins that reduce the humidity in the internal environment of the human body and block the movement of parasites. Wormwood is characterized by a number of herbal preparations as the main ingredient, and Troychatka is the most popular preparation. It is used in the form of a decoction that is consumed to cleanse the parasites in the gut.
Nettle
In addition to its valuable disinfectant properties, nettle also contains substances that interrupt the life cycle of parasites. However, it is easy and cheap to collect nettles in the field or to buy them at the pharmacy. Dry grass is used in the form of infusions and decoctions, and is included in the fees as a cleaning solution for the enema. In addition to the harmful effects of worms, nettle is also rich in natural antioxidants, which strengthen the body's natural defenses and also reduce the inevitable manifestations of poisoning caused by worm invasion.
Popular antiparasitic charges
Of all the options for herbal remedies, a simple and effective cure, Troychatka enjoys a well-deserved reputation. The name is due to the fact that the composition contains several plants that have a complex effect, eliminating parasites with a greater or lesser degree of toxicity.
The first version of "Troychatka" contains wormwood, cloves and Tansy in a 1: 2: 4 ratio. In this case, adherence to dosing is especially important as this collection contains toxic Tansy. The herbs should be cooked in a thermos and this bitter infusion should be drunk three times daily before meals. The infusion tastes extremely heavy, but it is not recommended to let it go to effectively get rid of the parasites. With this tool, you can get rid of many forms of parasites in a week. Collecting with tansy is contraindicated for children, for them a more gentle option is appropriate.
The second version of "Troychatka" is softer, but works longer. The composition contains cumin, calamus and calendula in a ratio of 1: 1: 2. The proportions are important, as folk wisdom has long determined the optimal composition of the ingredients, so it is not worth experimenting with risking efficiency and, most importantly, health. The mixture of herbs is also boiled in boiling water and drunk three times daily before meals. But due to the milder effect, a course of treatment is required for 2 weeks, followed by repeated prophylactic dosing with a milder effect. 14 days entry 3 times a day. Prophylactic reception should then be continued for 2-3 months, once a week. This collection can be given to children as well as periodically as a preventative medicine.
It is best to choose an effective and safe cure that will rid your body of parasites. It advises on the latest pharmacological production or provides valuable advice on the use of herbs, as well as timely diagnostics to identify a certain type of parasite. Preventive measures to prevent infection are much cheaper and more effective. Adherence to simple personal hygiene requirements, basic health standards and a culture of behavior in the handling of animals significantly reduces the risk and helps to avoid unpleasant consequences as well as the use of strong antiparasitic agents.
