The most effective methods and preparations for cleansing the body of parasites

In biology, parasites include organisms whose vital activity occurs at the expense of the resources of other, usually more highly organized, forms of life. In everyday meaning, this term is usually used in relation to protozoa and helminths that live in the human body.

At first glance, parasitic infestations in the modern world are a rare and marginal phenomenon. It seems that with the development of medicine, improved hygiene practices and urbanization, they are a thing of the past. This opinion is somewhat erroneous: Internet stories about “clumps of parasites” indeed have little in common with reality, but even today there is a fairly large risk of being a carrier of unwanted fauna. Pet owners, lovers of exotic cuisine and travel, children, as well as those who neglect standard hygiene procedures are especially susceptible to infection. The most common signs of parasitic infestation include:

• skin rashes of unknown origin, dermatitis, acne;
• dyspeptic disorders, heartburn, nausea, sudden weight changes, digestive problems;
• headaches and dizziness;
• fragility of nails, deterioration of hair condition, premature aging of the skin;
• deterioration of immunity and resistance to disease, regular herpetic rashes, colds;
• general deterioration of health: dysthymic phenomena, nervousness, lethargy.

Most often, helminths and protozoa live in the digestive organs and liver. Parasites can remain in the body almost unnoticed for years, or, on the contrary, create noticeable problems a month after infection. One way or another, parasites deplete the human body, destroy beneficial internal flora, interfere with the absorption of food nutrients and destroy body systems. Their long-term presence in the human body threatens extremely serious health problems, and parasitic infestations in children can lead to severe retardation in physical development and disturbances in nervous regulation. Cleansing the body of parasites most often involves the help of professional doctors. If you suspect their presence, you should immediately consult a doctor and begin appropriate treatment. Many natural remedies have demonstrated their effectiveness in the fight against parasites. They can also speed recovery, provide additional support for drug therapy, and prevent infection. The advantage of natural drugs over synthetic ones is less toxicity, low cost and ease of use. However, you should use folk remedies carefully: when making anti-parasitic drugs at home, you must follow the instructions. Too small a dose of active plant material will not have the desired effect and will help parasites develop resistance to it, while too much can lead to an overdose.

Chanterelle tincture

You may have noticed that a mushroom like chanterelle is extremely rarely affected by worms. The thing is that the body of this fungus contains a unique substance called chitinomannose, which can kill not only worms, but also their eggs. However, it is necessary to take into account that this substance is destroyed during heat treatment, and therefore for treatment it is necessary to prepare a tincture. Fresh chanterelles should be poured with vodka and left for two weeks in a dark place. How to take dried chanterelles for parasites? Every day at night you need to drink a teaspoon of this tincture.

Carnation

Cloves have the same effect on parasites as walnuts. The thing is that it also contains eugenol. At the same time, its concentration here is about 85%. In order to cleanse the body of parasites, you will need to prepare a decoction: for 1 glass of boiling water you need 5 grams of dry clove powder. The composition must be heated in a water bath, boiled for a minute, and left to infuse for half an hour. You can only take a freshly prepared decoction, since essential oils evaporate from it over time. It is recommended to use cloves against parasites according to the following scheme: one teaspoon 20 minutes before meals three times a day.

What are the types of parasitosis?

There are many parasitic diseases. The most common of them include:

• geohelminthiases are diseases caused by parasites that spend one of their life cycles in the soil. The eggs of these parasites can survive in the ground for up to 7 years, surviving severe frosts and remaining invasive;
• zooanthroponoses are parasitic infestations that affect both humans and animals;
• pure anthroponoses are diseases characteristic only of humans.

Separately among parasitic infestations, contagious diseases are distinguished, in which parasites can be transmitted from person to person.

Personal parasite prevention measures

There is no magic remedy that can protect a person from all parasitic infestations. Prevention of parasite infection is multifaceted and includes many aspects. Prevention measures depend on the type of parasite, its development cycle, and how it enters the human body.

However, we can highlight basic rules that can reduce the risk of developing parasitosis:

• maintaining personal hygiene: washing hands thoroughly after visiting public places, contacting pets, and before eating;
• regular wet cleaning of the apartment with disinfectants;
• regular boiling of bedding and underwear;
• purchasing meat products in places of authorized trade;
• sufficient heat treatment of meat and fish, which should be at least 30 minutes. Another effective way to combat parasites is to pre-freeze fish and meat;
• thoroughly washing and treating vegetables, fruits, and herbs with boiling water;
• drinking bottled and boiled water;
• protecting food from insects;
• regular screening for parasites.

Plants that can protect against parasitosis

An effective measure to prevent infection by helminths and protozoa is to enrich the diet with plants and seasonings with antiparasitic effects. Today, more than 50 plant species are known that have a detrimental effect on parasites:

• calamus roots. The plant is capable of infecting the nervous system of parasites and expelling them from tissues and organs;
• marshmallow roots. Acts on parasites living in the blood and muscle tissue;
• basil leaves and stems. The antiparasitic effect of basil is similar to that of marshmallow;
• berries, stems, leaves, roots of barberry. The plant is especially effective against parasites that attack the liver;
• carnation. The effectiveness of cloves against parasites has been known since ancient times. Cloves are destructive for flatworms, tapeworms, roundworms, and protozoa. In addition, it is effective against bacteria and viruses;
• pomegranate. Not only pomegranate fruits, but also the peel have an antiparasitic effect. Pomegranate peels can be used to make tea;
• roots, flowers of elecampane. They kill parasites that infect the digestive tract and nervous system. In addition, the plant removes toxins from the body;
• the above-ground part of oregano, which is used to make teas. The plant has a detrimental effect on protozoa, fungi, and opportunistic microorganisms;
• St. John's wort. Actively fights luminal parasites living in the interstitial space of the colon;
• ginger roots. Capable of expelling parasites from the respiratory system and gastrointestinal tract. The plant has not only antiparasitic, but also anti-inflammatory, immunomodulatory properties;
• fruits, seeds, flowers of viburnum. The plant expels parasites from the bronchopulmonary tree, urogenital, and gastrointestinal tracts. Additionally, it has an anti-inflammatory effect;
• cardamom seeds. They have a powerful effect on the larval stages of parasites and protozoa, and have an antifungal effect;
• Cilantro seeds (coriander) are a common plant that is often used in salads. Good at expelling intestinal parasites;
• cinnamon. Does not lose antiparasitic properties even after heat treatment;
• nettle. Effective against parasites that affect the skin, intestines, and respiratory organs;
• incense. It has a particularly detrimental effect on parasites of the respiratory system and nervous system;
• roots, leaves, stems of common burdock. Helps eliminate parasites located in the bronchopulmonary tree and the lymphatic system.

Watercress, red pepper, sesame, alfalfa, raspberries, juniper, birch, mint, wormwood, dandelion, parsley, tansy, chamomile, rhubarb, walnut leaves, fennel, and garlic also have a detrimental effect on parasites.

Plants with antiparasitic properties should be used only in prophylactic doses. For example, plants such as St. John's wort, yarrow, tansy in large quantities are poisonous and an overdose of them is dangerous. If you are not sure about the safety of a particular plant, be sure to consult with a specialist.

Separately, it is worth dwelling on the effect of garlic. Among folk remedies for parasites, garlic enemas occupy one of the first places. But in fact, this method is ineffective and very dangerous. Most parasites live in the small intestine, which is not affected by the enema. A possible complication after a garlic enema is a burn to the intestinal mucosa.

Principles of parasite prevention at the societal level

In the Russian Federation, about 1 million patients with parasitic diseases are registered annually. In this regard, preventive measures have been developed to prevent the spread of parasitosis. The basic principles of prevention include:

1. Timely identification and treatment of patients with parasitosis. A person cured in time does not pose a threat to others.
2. Timely destruction of pathogens of parasitic infestations using disinfection and disinsection methods. This includes the disinfection of wastewater, food, and the treatment of public places from insects. For example, treating rest areas for mosquitoes can prevent diseases such as dirofilariasis.
3. Protection of the environment from contamination by substrates containing parasites. First of all, this is the timely disinfection of cesspools and the prevention of the use of fresh animal feces as fertilizer in agriculture. These requirements are enshrined in law and require strict implementation.
4. Prevention of parasitic infestations using chemotherapeutic agents. For example, when traveling to the tropics or to places where malaria is endemic, it is necessary to use antimalarial drugs. Such remedies prevent the development of malaria even with possible infection. The same can be said about professional groups of the population. During certain periods, chemoprophylaxis of parasitic infestations is recommended for workers on livestock farms and agricultural farms.
5. Immunoprophylaxis or immunization of the population in areas of development of parasitic infestations. This measure is more concerned with the prevention of infection with protozoa than with helminthiasis.
6. Improving the general sanitary culture of the population.

Prevention of parasitic infestations

In order not to “pick up” exo- and endoparasites, you need to:

• wash your hands, vegetables and fruits thoroughly before eating;
• remove dirt under nails;
• do not use other people’s combs, shoes and household items;
• do not walk on the floor in public places with bare feet, and wear a cap when swimming in the pool;
• do not buy food at “spontaneous” markets and do not eat in dubious catering establishments;
• boil or fry meat or fish;
• monitor the health of pets by carrying out deworming on time;
• use insect repellent when traveling;
• Having arrived from an exotic country, undergo a full examination and take tests.

Parasites quickly infect people, so when they are detected, people living with the patient are checked and, if necessary, they are treated too.

Health implications

Doctors say: the danger of infection with parasites or worms is quite high. First of all, general intoxication occurs; toxins, which are products of the vital activity of worms, begin to be deposited. Metabolism is noticeably disrupted, the liver ceases to function normally, as does the digestive system. A person develops chronic diseases and digests food worse. Children infected with parasites begin to lag behind in development. It must be said that some types of parasites, if not eliminated in time, can be fatal.

Antiparasitic fees: application and recipes

For the best effect, it is recommended to combine several types of plant materials. With this approach, the effect of the components becomes softer and at the same time more pronounced. Antiparasitic preparations allow you to solve the problem of invasion in a comprehensive manner, as well as avoid re-infection by strengthening the immune system and transforming the internal environment of the body. “Russian Troychatka” is the most famous among herbal remedies for parasites.

Treatment of helminthiasis

To cure a patient, he is relieved of parasites and their waste products. For treatment, anthelmintic drugs are used, selected taking into account the type of parasite and the patient’s condition. This should be done by a doctor, since all deworming tablets contain dangerous substances.

To expel large worms, the patient is prescribed a siphon enema. At the same time, make sure that the head of the helminth does not remain in the body, otherwise the parasite will grow again. To prevent re-infection, anthelmintic treatment is carried out in several courses.

After expelling the worms, drip infusions of solutions, restoratives and vitamins are prescribed. Restore the functions of organs affected by parasites.

Head lice can be eliminated using special sprays and mercury ointment. If pubic lice are detected, the hair in the groin area is shaved.

Sulfur ointment, benzyl benzonate and a number of other drugs are used to treat scabies. Demodicosis is treated with complex external agents, which include mercury, tar, zinc, and sulfur.

Ginger root

Ginger root contains a variety of substances that parasitic worms simply cannot tolerate. For example, these include vanillic acid, cineole, and geaniol. In folk recipes, the most common tincture of ginger root is prepared according to the following recipe: for 500 grams of grated root you will need half a liter of vodka. The composition must be adjusted for half a month, shaking it thoroughly from time to time. You should take a tincture based on ginger root half an hour before meals. The maximum single dose is one teaspoon. You can use this home remedy for parasites three times a day.

Pumpkin seeds

Pumpkin seeds also help remove parasites from the body. This happens due to the content of cucurbitin. This substance has a paralytic effect on the worms, depriving them of the ability to attach to the intestinal walls. All you need is 300 grams of peeled seeds, which must be ground using a blender and mixed with honey or water in a one-to-one ratio. It is recommended to drink this mixture in the morning, on an empty stomach. For the next three hours, you must abstain from food, then take a laxative. This product must be chewed thoroughly. By the way, pumpkin seeds can be eaten just like that: they need to be dried and the shells removed.

Another way to use pumpkin seeds is a decoction prepared in a water bath. To do this you will need 450 milliliters of water and 150 grams of peeled seeds. You need to cook the mixture for 60 minutes and then strain it. A single dose for an adult is 400 ml.

In order to get rid of parasites using pumpkin, you can take half a kilogram of seeds, grind them together with the peel in a meat grinder, then add a liter of water and evaporate over low heat in a water bath, being careful not to bring the product to a boil. After this, the finished broth will need to be filtered and the oily film removed from its surface. The product must be drunk within half an hour after preparation, and it is best to do this on an empty stomach. Two hours after taking this medicine, it is recommended to use a laxative. This method is ideal for getting rid of tapeworms.

How can a person become infected with parasites?

Sources of parasitic diseases can be:

• household items in the apartment, public places, transport;
• food - poorly washed vegetables, fruits, raw or insufficiently processed meat, fish. Infection with parasites is especially common in the summer, when we enrich the diet with vitamins: fresh berries, vegetables, herbs. These products may contain grains of soil, and therefore eggs of parasites;
• tap water, water in rivers, lakes. While swimming in a pond, parasites can enter the human body through the skin, mucous membranes, as a result of ingesting water;
• Pets. All pet owners have a high probability of becoming infected with zooanthroponoses;
• children's sandboxes. For example, children's sandboxes may contain animal feces, which means there is a possibility of helminth infection.

A common cause of parasite infection is poor personal hygiene. Infection can occur if you do not wash your hands after visiting public places, using the toilet, handling money, working in your garden, preparing fish, meat, or salads.

There are a number of professions where people, due to the nature of their activities, have a high probability of becoming infected with parasites. These specialists include plumbers, workers at livestock farms, agricultural enterprises, the food industry, and area cleaners.

There are also parasites that are carried by insects. For example, flies, mosquitoes.

Bottom line

Natural antiparasitic drugs are well suited to combat infestations and their consequences. On average, treatment with antiparasitic herbs takes longer than standard drug therapy. Folk remedies are distinguished by a multifactorial and at the same time milder effect on the body; taking them rarely causes unpleasant consequences, they have fewer contraindications. However, home herbal medicine is not a substitute for visiting a doctor; before starting treatment, it is better to seek the advice of a professional.
