Folk remedies for worms and other parasites in the body

Folk remedy for parasites in the human body

How to get rid of worms and other parasites is vitally important for everyone to know, because according to statistics, almost 90% of the population of our country is infected with parasites and many do not even know about it. Folk remedies for parasites in the human body are a whole storehouse of useful recipes and tips. And they are sometimes no less effective and safer than medicines.

Treatment for harmful parasites with folk remedies can be used as an additional remedy simultaneously with medical therapy prescribed by a doctor.

The disease caused by parasitic worms is called helminthiasis. There are about 250 types of worms, divided into 2 types:

  1. The first type is nematodes and roundworms that live in the intestines. They attach to the walls of the intestines, easily penetrate the brain, ears, lungs, eyes and liver, causing significant harm to health.
  2. The second type is tapeworms and flukes, which feed on human blood, which contains all the nutrients necessary for their life.

Causes of helminthic invasion

Knowing the most common causes of helminthiasis will help protect yourself and your loved ones from this unpleasant disease.

Parasites can enter the human body in various ways:

  1. On contact with soil containing eggs of worms that have got there with animal and human waste. For this reason, hands should be thoroughly washed with soap and water after handling soil or sand. In case of frequent contact with the soil, it is best not to have long nails. If it is not possible to wash your hands, then use alcohol-based hand gels.
  2. Contact with animals. Communicating with stray animals or pets that have access to the street is fraught with the risk of infection with worms.
  3. In case of insufficient processing of food. Abuse of raw or under-cooked foods can also lead to helminthiasis.
  4. Through the water. Villagers and villagers are especially susceptible to infection due to the fact that many helminth eggs get into open water bodies. It is necessary to boil water that has been collected in wells and springs. Swimming in ponds and lakes is also dangerous, as there is a high probability of contaminated water entering the esophagus.
  5. When communicating with a person suffering from helminthiasis. With such contacts, there is a high risk of pinworm infection. They lay eggs near a person's anus and cause severe itching. In an attempt to get rid of the characteristic burning sensation, people begin to comb the disturbed area, and the parasites fall on their hands.

The presence of worms in the human body contributes to the deterioration of immunity, which leads to serious diseases, therefore, at the first symptoms of infection, it is necessary to take action.

Infection Symptoms

The signs of parasite infection are very similar to the symptoms of other diseases, but if there are 2-3 manifestations, you should contact an infectious disease specialist and pass the appropriate tests that will help you choose the optimal treatment.

Symptoms of helminthiasis include:

  • high temperature;
  • loose stools;
  • rashes on the skin;

Medical treatment methods

Medication can give good results even at home, but you should consult your doctor before using it. The drugs have a high degree of toxicity, therefore, before deciding how to remove the worms yourself, you should trust a specialist in the choice of treatment and dosage of anthelmintic drugs.

All drugs designed to fight parasites in the body have one, but significant drawback: they are all toxic and may be unsafe for humans.

Traditional methods
