A remedy for parasites in the body can also be a folk remedy, if, for example, a patient has an intolerance to drugs.
However, 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 helminthiasis (caused by worms) and protozoal infections (caused by protozoa). Both those and others can be dangerous for the human body.
Thus, helminthiases cause disturbances in the work of the intestine, the products of their vital activity disrupt the functioning of the liver, reduce working capacity, and in children delay physical and neuropsychic development. In addition, they promote sensitization (allergization) of the body and create a favorable context for the development of allergic diseases. Protozoa are no less dangerous.
Trichomonas are the causative agent of sexually transmitted infections.
Giardia is especially dangerous for children, in whom it can cause intoxication and allergic diseases.
How parasitic infections are treated
If you suspect a parasitic infection, consult your doctor. He will first carry out an examination and then prescribe a suitable drug for the treatment of the identified disease. In this case, all indications and contraindications for the appointment of this drug must be considered.
Sometimes the patient is drug intolerant or just doesn't want to use "chemistry". In this case, the doctor can prescribe a folk remedy for parasites in the body.
Folk remedies, such as drugs from a pharmacy, cannot be absolutely safe, as a certain dosage is required to destroy parasites, which most often have side effects. Only a doctor can take into account all the nuances of the action of folk remedies for parasites.
