A remedy for parasites in the body can also be a folk remedy, if, for example, a patient has a drug intolerance.
Nevertheless, these agents should be prescribed by a doctor, since parasitic diseases can be caused by different pathogens, the vital activity of which is also suppressed by different means.
Should we get rid of parasites?
Human parasitic diseases are divided into helminthiases (caused by worms) and protozoal infections (caused by protozoa). Both those and others can be dangerous to the human body.
Thus, helminthiases cause disturbances in the work of the intestines, the products of their vital activity disrupt the functioning of the liver, reduce working capacity, and in children delay the physical and neuropsychic development. In addition, they contribute to the sensitization (allergization) of the body and create a favorable background for the development of allergic diseases. Protozoa are no less dangerous.
Trichomonas are the causative agent of sexually transmitted infections.
Giardia is dangerous mainly for children, in whom they can cause intoxication and allergic diseases.
How parasitic infections are treated
If you suspect a parasitic infection, see your doctor. He will first conduct an examination, and then prescribe a drug that is suitable for treating the identified disease. In this case, all indications and contraindications for the appointment of this drug must be taken into account.
Sometimes the patient is intolerant of 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, just like medicines from a pharmacy, cannot be absolutely safe, since a certain dosage 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.
