There are many varieties of parasitic diseases . Unfortunately, even the emergence of modern effective hygiene products does not exclude the risk of infection. Moreover, according to the calculations of American scientists, only in a prosperous USA every second person is a hidden carrier of infection. You can fight parasites of various forms using both medical and folk remedies. From parasites, the latter often help very well, with a mild action.
Species of parasites
Malicious organisms living in human tissues and organs are classified into several groups. First of all, this, of course, helminths. However, parasites such as:
various kinds of fungi;
protozoa;
arthropods;
pathogens.
Treatment of parasites with folk remedies is carried out depending on their variety.
Types of helminths
Worms are one of the most dangerous types of parasites. Doctors divide the helminths that affect a person into two large groups:
intestinal;
extraintestinal.
By biological characteristics, helminths are classified into:
nematodes (or roundworms);
cystodes (tape helminths);
trematodes (worms-flukes).
Nematodes in the human body
Most often, people become infected with representatives of this particular group of worms. The body of the nematodes has a rounded shape and pointed ends. The most common parasites of this species are pinworms and roundworms. Also, sometimes people become infected with whipworms and trichina. Roundworms live in the human small intestine and secrete a lot of toxins. Pinworms live in the colon and are most often found in children.
Whipworm and trichina are the most dangerous nematodes. Treatment of parasites in the human body with folk remedies in this case is likely to be ineffective. It is better to use medications prescribed by your doctor. Whipworm lives in the cecum. Symptoms of infection with this parasite are similar to signs of inflammation of the appendicitis. Trichins can live in the human heart, eye muscles, etc.
Tape parasites
This type of worm has a flat shape, divided into segments. Tape helminths absorb nutrients throughout the body. Adult individuals of this group are divided into lentets and tapeworms. The length of the latter can reach 18 m. Most often, the human body is affected by such tapeworms as pork, bovine, dwarf tapeworm and a wide ribbon. Treatment of parasites with folk remedies in this case can be effective. However, tapeworms are not pinworms. And you should visit a doctor if you suspect they are infected.
Helminths flukes
Trematode worms have a flat and wide body. Uncooked seafood is what these parasites typically penetrate into humans. Symptoms (folk remedies in this case are often powerless) are infected with such worms, because they can live not only in the intestine, but also, for example, in the liver, middle ear, ducts of glands, etc. Such worms feed on blood, mucus intestinal contents. The most common trematodes living in the human body are the hepatic and Siberian flukes, as well as pulmonary fluke.
How to deal with nematodes folk methods
Since these are the most common human helminths, there are many ways to combat them. The main symptom of pinworm infection is severe itching in the anus. It appears when the female worms begin to move to the "exit" to lay eggs. Folk remedies for parasites of this variety can be used different. Most often, pinworms are expelled from the body using pumpkin seeds, garlic, wormwood or green peel of walnuts. From these products make tinctures for oral administration or enemas.
For example, a decoction of citrus wormwood can become very effective against pinworms . This medicine is prepared as follows:
cut two tablespoons of leaves and inflorescences of wormwood;
fill them with a liter of water;
boil the mixture for several minutes;
remove the pan from the fire and wrap it in a blanket.
The broth is taken in a tablespoon after an hour on the first day, after 2 - on the second, after 3 - on the third. On the sixth day, you will need to drink the drug every 6 hours.
A good medicine for pinworms is also considered ordinary rice. Soak 50 g of this cereal overnight, and then boil it. The resulting porridge is mixed with 2 tbsp. l ginger and 1 tbsp. l ground cloves. 2 hours after the portion is eaten, you should drink a glass of salted water (1 tsp. Salt per glass). The course of treatment for porridge is carried out for 6 days.
Roundworm: how to expel
Folk remedies for parasites in the human body in this case can be used approximately the same as in the treatment of pinworms. You can try to drive roundworms, if they are wound up in an adult, with the help of pumpkin seeds. They will need a pound. Seeds should be carefully crushed in a mortar. Then they are filled with half a glass of boiled water. To make the mixture more pleasant to eat, you can add a little jam or honey to it. Take the resulting porridge should be on an empty stomach. The whole mixture should be eaten within an hour.
Pumpkin seeds can be used to treat roundworms in children. But in this case, their number will depend on the age of the patient. For example, a child under 2 years old will have enough 50 g of seeds, up to 4 years old - 80 g, up to 7-100 g, up to 12-150 g. Three hours after taking the medicine, you need to drink magnesia. Its amount also depends on the age of the child (from 10 to 30 g). After another half an hour, an enema is done to cleanse the intestines.
Sometimes green walnuts are also used to treat ascariasis in children. They should be crushed and pour boiling salt water. The mixture is insisted for half an hour, and then filtered. Eat nuts all day long in any quantity. In parallel, the child should be given a laxative.
How to get rid of tapeworms
Very good folk remedies for cleansing parasites are salted herring and male fern. They are used to get rid of tape worms. The first product must be eaten without bread on an empty stomach for 3 days. You can’t eat anything else. Fern treatment is as follows:
Two days before the course, they begin to eat only liquid vegetarian food.
The day before taking the medicine, they drink a laxative salt in an amount of 30 g (per glass of boiled water) and eat a piece of herring with onions.
In the morning on an empty stomach they take the first pill with extract of male fern (can be bought at a pharmacy). After 15 minutes drink another pill. All 10 pills should be taken with the same frequency.
Half an hour after the last tablet is drunk, again take 30 g of salt in a glass of water.
The treatment of parasites in the human body with folk remedies in this case should end with an enema (if there is no stool after three hours). Feces need to be examined. The parasite should exit with the head. If it remains, then after 1-2 months a new worm will grow in the intestine. Cleansing enemas, if necessary, should be repeated up to 3 times (until the head comes out).
How to Drive Trematodes Out
Folk remedies for parasites in the human body in this case are rarely used. Trematodes with improper diagnosis and treatment can cause irreparable harm to the human body. Previously, flukes were expelled using the so-called triad. Its components are made as follows:
Take 15 green shells from walnuts and chop them. Pour the composition with alcohol (0.5 l) and insist a month in a dark place.
The leaves and fruits of ripened wormwood are dried and carefully chopped.
Clove seeds are crushed. You can use those that are sold in bags in the store.
It is possible to remove parasites from the body by folk remedies, prepared in this way according to this scheme:
On the first day, in a glass half filled with water, add one drop of tincture from the peel of a nut and drink the mixture. The next morning, take two drops dissolved in the same amount of water. On the third day they drink three, on the fourth - 4, on the fifth - 5. On the sixth day, take two teaspoons in a glass of water. Then for five days they drink 2 tsp. 50 g of water twice a day. Subsequently, tincture should be taken in 2 tsp. once a day for a year.
Simultaneously with the tincture on the first day, take 1 pinch of wormwood powder before eating. Next, the dose is gradually increased. After two weeks, it should already be ½ tbsp. l It should be taken exactly wormwood powder. Then this folk remedy for parasites in humans will be most effective. The fact is that liquid infusion does not affect the colon and does not affect the parasites living there.
Crushed clove seeds are taken from 1 to 10 days three times a day. In this case, the dose is gradually increased from 1/5 to 1/3 tbsp. l Subsequently, they drink one teaspoon once a week.
The components of the triad, according to folk healers, affect the whole body and can save not only trematodes, but also other types of parasites.
The dangers of alternative treatment for worms
Before you start taking folk remedies for parasites of the helminth group, of course, you should visit a doctor. Tinctures and powders prepared on their own should be used only in addition to the medicines prescribed by the doctor. And, of course, you should definitely consult about the possibility of their use in combination with tablets with a doctor. Only relatively relatively harmless pinworms are usually expelled on their own. But in this case, it’s better to go to the doctor’s office.
Independent struggle with parasites in the body by folk remedies, in addition to the impossibility of making an accurate diagnosis, also carries such a danger as toxicosis. Dead worms left after treatment in the intestines or other organs begin to decompose. As a result, harmful substances enter the bloodstream. Owners of cats and dogs, for example, are well aware of the dangers of self-treatment of helminths in animals. It often happens that after taking medication the animal dies precisely from toxicosis. Therefore, helminths should be treated only under the supervision of a doctor. This is especially true for children.
Protozoa in the human body
Parasites of this species are very small (1-2 mm). Their body can be constant or variable. Under adverse conditions, protozoa form cysts. These parasites are classified into the following main groups:
Most often, the human body is affected by such a simple as giardia. Infection with it can occur through ordinary water, food, etc. The disease caused by this parasite is giardiasis. Its main symptom is an upset small intestine. It is also possible to get rid of parasites in the body by folk remedies in this case.
Giardiasis treatment
These parasites enter the body in the form of cysts. After that, they are converted into trophozoites, quickly divide and soon fill the entire mucous membrane. The main symptoms of giardiasis, in addition to indigestion, are:
Folk remedies for parasites of this group are often used the same as in the treatment of worms. For example, you can try to get rid of lamblia with pumpkin seeds. To prepare the mass, in this case they take 300 g. Eat the pulp for an hour in small doses. After taking this medication, they drink a laxative and make an enema. Thus, giardiasis in adults is treated. For children, the medicine is prepared from 100 g of seeds.
You can try to get rid of giardia with the help of garlic. To prepare the tincture you will need 50 g of this burning vegetable. Garlic needs to be crushed, put in an opaque container and pour vodka in the amount of 200 g. Insist means should be a week in a dark place. Take this medicine 20 drops 3 times a day, diluting with water.
Folk remedies for parasites in the body: treatment of trichomoniasis
This parasite is also considered quite common. Most often, it settles in the body of women and is the main cause of the appearance of so-called leucorrhoea. The sizes of Trichomonas are so small that they can only be seen under a microscope. A good decision on how to get rid of parasites with folk remedies, in this case there will be herbal preparations. You can try to prepare a tincture, for example, from the following ingredients:
One teaspoon of the mixture should be filled with a glass of boiling water. The resulting mixture is insisted for 15 minutes They drink filtered medicine for 2-3 weeks in the morning and in the evening.
In this case, herbal teas are not the only effective folk remedies in the fight against human parasites. Douching can also be very useful in trichomoniasis. To prepare the therapeutic composition in this case, you should take:
2 tbsp. l This collection must be insisted in a glass of warm water for 4 hours. Douching is carried out daily for two weeks.
What fungi can be infected
There are more than 1000 parasites of this variety that affect the body, skin, hair, nails, etc. of a person. The diseases caused by them are in some cases considered very dangerous, since they are difficult to diagnose and treat. Therefore, you can use folk remedies only from the most harmless fungi. These include, for example, nail fungus.
How to cure onychomycosis
The fight against parasites with folk remedies in this case is usually carried out not using herbs, but with the use of iodine available in each house. This tool has excellent fungicidal properties. In addition, iodine promotes protein folding. And fungi, as you know, consist precisely of it. It is possible to treat nails as simply by smearing problem areas with iodine solution, and by means of water baths. In the latter case, after the procedure, the fungus from the steamed nail is cut off and the plate is smeared with hydrogen peroxide (3%). Complete the procedure by applying a bandage with an antibacterial ointment.
Vinegar can also be very effective in the treatment of onychomycosis. The fact is that the fungus does not tolerate an acidic medium at all. With vinegar (9%) they moisten their feet at night and put on their socks. Make with its use and a water bath. But in any case, vinegar should be used as carefully as possible. After all, even this weak acid can easily cause burns.
Among other things, for the treatment of nail fungus, you can use:
Birch tar;
table salt;
copper sulfate;
tea mushroom.
Arthropod Parasites
In humans, not only worms or fungi can parasitize, but also different types of ticks (ear, scabies). Arthropod parasites also include lice, fleas and larvae of flies. The danger to the body, these uninvited guests are also very great. Arthropods can feed on blood or the stratum corneum. At the same time, they are often carriers of various kinds of dangerous infections.
How to get rid of scabies mite
Symptoms of infection with this parasite are: rash, redness and itching of the skin primarily between the fingers. For treatment, you can try, for example, lower the brushes in hot salted kvass. Also, a mixture of butter and mashed bay leaf (1: 1) will help with scabies. Use from ticks and birch tar. They need to lubricate the problem areas and leave for several hours. Of the herbs for treating scabies, verbena, burial ground or godson (30 g per liter of water) is usually used.
Lice treatment
In order to remove lice, you can also use different means. Sometimes, for example, vinegar helps from these arthropods. It should be diluted with water 1: 1 and applied to the hair. To enhance the effect on the head for half an hour put on a plastic bag. Such a mask, however, can contribute to the destruction of only adults. But nits, when applied, will be easier to comb out.
The most radical treatment for pediculosis is kalbofos. It is also diluted with water and applied to the hair. After karbofos lice you are guaranteed not to remain. However, you should use this tool very carefully, otherwise you can simply be poisoned. And, of course, this drug cannot be used to treat pediculosis in children.
How to get rid of fleas
These arthropods do not live long on the human body. Therefore, they get rid of them by processing not the skin, but the places of their main habitat - carpet pile, furniture, etc. At the same time, they usually use not folk remedies, but chemical preparations. Processing is carried out as thoroughly as possible. Folk remedies in this case, you can treat only the bites of these insects, which are usually very itchy. In order to remove the itching, ice can be applied to a problem area, for example. Bites should also be disinfected with alcohol or soap.
This problem in our time, unfortunately, is quite common - parasites in humans. Treatment with folk remedies for such an infection is quite possible. Over the centuries, people have come up with a huge number of techniques to deal with these uninvited guests. However, before using folk methods to expel worms, protozoa or even ordinary lice, you should definitely consult your doctor. Using the wrong methods can cause irreparable harm to the human body.
