How to get rid of parasites is a question that can be solved unequivocally: by going to the pharmacy and buying an anthelmintic drug. But this option is not suitable for everyone. Someone may face the risk of helminth infection during a trip or while relaxing in the countryside, someone basically prefers natural remedies to "chemicals", and someone does not tolerate drugs well. Fortunately, folk medicine also has effective recipes that help you gently and safely cleanse parasites.
Important thing to remember
Before starting deworming, you still need to consult your doctor to determine contraindications. Even folk remedies can harm you if you have diseases of the gallbladder, pancreas, liver and kidneys, as well as hypertension.
It's absolutely necessary to see a doctor if you feel really unwell. In case of fever, severe muscle pain, blood in urine and seizures, do not self-treat but seek medical help immediately.
Folk remedies for parasites: before and after
Before you start using folk remedies for parasites, you should cleanse your body. To do this, take Enterosgel for a week.
During hygiene (no matter which method you choose - folk remedies for parasites or anthelmintics), follow the diet. The basis of the diet should be vegetables, cereals and soups in thin broth. Fatty foods, milk and fermented milk products should be kept to a minimum.
After deworming, the diet should be continued for 7–10 days. During this period, it is necessary to strictly adhere to hygiene regulations, because the risk of reinfection with parasites when the body weakens increases.
