Effective agents for the fight against parasites at home

Severe disruption of the digestive system, sleep disorders and increased nervousness, spots on the skin, weight loss and loss of appetite - these are just some of the symptoms you will encounter with a worm infection. However, the treatment of helminths should not be less dangerous than themselves.

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

Advantages and disadvantages of folk remedies

Today, the pharmacological market offers tablets, capsules and granules with dozens of names. However, not all infected people rush 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. Safety.The main problem with drugs is their high toxicity. By killing the parasites, they gradually accumulate in the body, damaging the liver and other internal organs. Folk remedies against worms, on the contrary, consist exclusively of products of plant origin. They are completely safe for both adults and children, so they can be prescribed at any age.
2. Price.While you will have to pay a lot of money for branded medicines, home treatment will cost much less. The ingredients of tinctures and mixtures are used everywhere, so they are cheap.
3. Availability.Many pills often have artificial or natural shortages. This does not threaten folk remedies. The main ingredients of "grandmother's" recipes can always be found in any pharmacy or grocery store.
4. Versatility.Medicines have a rather large list of side effects, so they are not suitable for everyone. Herbal preparations against worms can be taken both by the average person and by those belonging to the category of increased risk: children, pregnant women, nursing mothers.
5. Reliability.Medicines appear and disappear and replace each other on the shelves at a fairly active rate. At the same time, some of them do not even undergo a mandatory inspection and are not registered with the state. register of medicines approved for use. At the same time, folk remedies have passed the main test - the test of time. Their effectiveness was clearly proven, because with their help, our grandmothers were successfully treated with worms when they had not even heard of the new tablets.

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

Note!If the worm infection occurs in a severe stage, folk remedies alone will not help. In this case, comprehensive treatment should be used to combat parasites, which includes both drugs and folk remedies for parasites.

Traditional medicine and its types

Today, on the Internet, you can find dozens of recipes for various herbs, potions and diets, which will not be difficult for an inexperienced user to confuse. Therefore, let's take a look at what modern traditional medicine has to offer and which remedies really help.

Tinctures

Tinctures are the most common remedies that help get rid of worms at home.There are thousands of recipes on the Internet, most of which, unfortunately, are not particularly useful.

Pomegranate decoction

Note!Whatever method you choose to get rid of worms, self-medication usually only makes the problem worse. Therefore, if you do not want to deal with the consequences of an overdose or incorrect selection of the drug, you must consult a parasitologist before starting treatment.

Other folk remedies against worms

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

These include:

• Sour cabbage.Drink half a glass of salt water based on it three times a day, half an hour before meals, and the parasites attacking the gall bladder and liver (most often Giardia) will quickly leave the body alone.
• Strawberry and blackcurrant.These berries contain active substances that serve as a real poison for lamblia and worms. Therefore (if possible) you should eat as many of them as possible, especially in season.
• Pumpkin (or coriander) seeds.If you don't like the solution written above, pop the seeds in a pan (necessarily without adding oil) and use them for a light snack or as a complete snack.
• Watermelon seeds.Grind the watermelon seeds and pour milk over them (one: ten ratio). If you take this mixture twice a day, you will forget about parasites for a long time.
• Pine nuts.Eat 50-100 grams. walnuts daily for two months and the results will not last long.

However, remember that these products are not panaceas against helminths. Simply adding them to your diet will not get rid of parasites, although they are more than an effective preventative measure.

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

Enema

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

Therefore, if you want the treatment to be as quick and effective as possible, in addition to taking the drugs, enemas should also be included. They not only clean the lower intestines from eggs and the remains of parasites, but also help to get rid of constipation and stabilize bowel function.

Today, the two most common enema recipes are:

• The first is based on garlic

  Great for both adults and their children. In case of individual intolerance, garlic can be replaced with onions or tansy. The recipe for such an enema is simple: cut a head of garlic and pour boiling water (100 ml) over it. Mix the solution thoroughly and let it stand for 12-15 hours. After this time, it must be filtered and taken as an enema.

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

• The second is based on soda

  This recipe is no longer particularly suitable for children, as their immunity is not yet that strong, and soda can have a negative effect on the internal microflora of the intestine. For adults, on the contrary, such an enema is completely safe.

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

  The length of the course (as with garlic) depends on the progress of the infection. If there aren't that many worms in the body yet, it's enough to cleanse for a week.

  Once vigorous activity has developed, it takes at least 2 weeks for the parasites to be removed from the body by enema.

In order to avoid the enema becoming unnecessary, observe the following rules during cleaning:

1. Be sure to go to the toilet before starting the procedure. This will empty the bowels and make the removal of pests as effective as possible.
2. Cleanse the body in the evening or even at night, when the worms are most active in their migration. The best solution is before going to bed or 4-5 hours after the last meal.
3. After entering the solution, try to keep it in the body for at least 20-30 minutes. This affects a large number of worms and increases 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 already taken on serious proportions, perform 2-3 enemas in a row to enhance the cleansing effect.

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

People may be allergic or hypersensitive to certain components of infusions and decoctions.. Therefore, whatever option you choose, do not forget to consult your doctor first. It not only helps to find the safest folk anthelmintic for people, but also selects the optimal dose and adjusts the course of treatment.

Diet as a means of fighting worms

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

A list of available foods is usually prescribed by a parasitologist. Therefore, we provide an approximate list of permitted and prohibited products for your information.

welcome	Forbidden	It is advisable to limit it
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 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, squash, sweet potatoes, etc. ). Pasta. Products with a high starch content. Products that trigger fermentation processes in the body.	Sweetness. Coffee and coffee-containing drinks. High fat foods. Milk. Foods that slow down digestion and cause constipation.

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

Preventive measures

Diets, healing 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 beneficial only if you observe the following rules when taking them:

• Wash your hands thoroughly when returning home, after going to the toilet and before every (even small) meal;
• Monitor the condition of your pets: keep them clean, have them regularly examined by a veterinarian, feed them with appropriate food;
• Process food properly before consumption: pour boiling water over raw vegetables and fruits, cook meat and fish properly (boil, fry);
• Do not drink tap water or water from uncontrolled natural springs;
• Be more selective in intimate relationships and do not kiss strangers and animals;
• Wash and launder purchased items immediately after purchase.

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