A remedy for parasites in the body can also be a folk remedy if, for example, the patient has intolerance to drugs.
However, these drugs must be prescribed by a doctor, as parasitic diseases can be caused by various pathogens, whose vital activity is also suppressed by various means.
Should we get rid of parasites?
Parasitic diseases in humans are divided into helminthiasis (caused by worms) and protozoan infections (caused by protozoa). Both of these can be dangerous to the human body.
In this way, helminthiasis causes disturbances in the work of the intestines, the products of their vital activity disrupt the functioning of the liver, reduce the ability to work, and in children slow down physical and neuropsychological development. In addition, they contribute to the sensitization (allergy) of the body and create a favorable background for the development of allergic diseases. Protozoa are no less dangerous.
Trichomonas is the cause of sexually transmitted infections.Giardia is dangerous mainly for children, in whom they can cause intoxication and allergic diseases.
How to treat parasitic infections
If you suspect a parasitic infection, see your doctor. He will first perform an examination and then prescribe a drug that is suitable for the treatment of the identified disease. In this case, all indications and contraindications for the appointment of this drug should be taken into account.
Sometimes the patient is intolerant to drugs or simply does not want to use "chemistry". In this case, the doctor may prescribe a folk remedy for parasites in the body.
Folk remedies, like medicines from the pharmacy, cannot be absolutely safe, as a certain dose of them is required to destroy the parasites, which most often has side effects. Only a doctor can take into account all the nuances of the action of folk remedies for parasites.
