The topic of how to remove parasites from the human body does not cease to be relevant.
According to WHO statistics, about five billion people are infected with parasites in the world, most of them children.
The reasons for the mass infestation with worms are underestimation of the problem, poor education of the population, low quality of diagnosis and treatment of patients with worms.
Knowing the main ways of parasite infection, a person has the opportunity to provide protection to his body and stay healthy.Symptoms of helminthic invasion in humans
Different types of worms can inhabit the human body, so the symptoms of the infection are always different.
Worms skillfully disguise themselves in the internal organs, manifesting only by causing problems in the form of:
- stool disorders;
- bile stagnation;
- bloating;
- irritable bowel syndrome;
- joint and muscle pain;
- allergic reactions;
- body propensity to obesity;
- sleep disorders and nervousness;
- chronic fatigue syndrome;
- airway inflammation;
- decreased immunity in the body;
- cancer.
Most often, such diseases do not heal for a long time and become chronic. Constipation disorders in the form of constipation cause large worms.
In the process of vital activity, worms block certain organs, and if no action is taken to improve the health of the body, mechanical closure of the intestinal lumen and bile ducts can occur over time.
As a result, the peristalsis of the digestive tract will worsen, leading to infrequent and difficult bowel movements.
Diarrhea is usually caused by the simplest parasites - as a result of their vital activity, hormone-like substances are created that cause frequent watery stools.
Therefore, diarrhea should not be considered only as a result of malnutrition: if diarrhea or constipation is accompanied by gas and bloating, then this symptom may indicate infection by helminthic invasion.
Usually this condition lasts for many years, until the person gets rid of the worms from their body.
Worms affect not only the functioning of the digestive organs, but also the body as a whole.
Therefore, with joint and muscle pain, it makes sense to think about the presence of worms in the body.
Worms, penetrating the human body, choose the most suitable places for the purpose of further life.
Parasites can accumulate in joint fluid and muscles, causing a person to experience pain that can be confused with arthritis symptoms.
It is impossible to guess that these worms injure the tissues in which they have settled, at least until tangible damage is done to the body and the patient passes the necessary tests.
Worm waste products are toxins that trigger an immune response, as follows:
- growth of eosinophils (play the role of protective cells in the blood);
- increased levels of immunoglobulin E.
In the first case, inflammation of body tissues occurs as a result of an allergic reaction. Increases the second point of allergy.
Worms can cause atopic dermatitis, rashes, eczema and simple skin diseases.
If inflammatory phenomena on the skin do not disappear for a long time, then it makes sense for a person to check for the possibility of infection with worms such as lamblia and opisthorchias.
Anti-worm drugs
Elimination of worms from the body in children and adults today is quite successful medically.
If you detect symptoms of helminthic invasion in yourself or in a child, it is recommended to consult a doctor for an accurate and final diagnosis.
A specialist will prescribe anthelmintic treatment and tell you how to remove parasites from the body with their help.
And yet you must understand that for the complete recovery of a person poisoned by parasites it is necessary to undergo complex therapy.
Anti-worm drugs are usually divided into drugs that can rid the body of several types of parasites (cestodes, trematodes and nematodes) and drugs with a broad spectrum of action.
Anthelmintic therapy is most often performed at home, with the exception of complicated types of intoxication that require hospitalization of the patient.
It is necessary to independently remove worms from the body of a child and an adult, using the drug prescribed by a doctor, strictly following the scheme prescribed in the instructions.
Increasing or decreasing the number of tablets is not recommended. If the parasites respond to a reduced dose of the drug by changing their habitat in the body, then with an increase in the number of worm tablets, the person is threatened with serious poisoning.
Preparations against worms differ from each other in the principle of impact on the pathological organism. Some drugs block nerve impulses in the muscles of the parasite, thereby causing their paralysis, while others do not allow the worms to feed on glucose, causing them to die.
There are drugs whose components disrupt the work of the intestines in the intestines, leading to the death of pathological organisms.
A particular group of drugs can have a complex effect on parasites living in the human body, affecting the ability of worms to move and the biochemical processes that take place in their cells.
If any anthelmintic can be prescribed to treat an adult infected with worms, then it is better to use other worm medications in children.
Anti-worm drugs are produced in the form of tablets and suspensions, with their help children can be treated from the age of three.
Folk recipes for worms
The fact of worm infection is considered shameful for many, so not all people turn to doctors for help, but begin to recover from parasites using folk remedies.
But the fastest way to deal with worms inhabiting the human body is through complex therapy.
Therefore, if possible, it is better to use both medications and alternative treatments immediately.
Since worms do not tolerate high temperatures, treatment of parasites at home must be performed with hot food (pepper, garlic, horseradish and so on).
Herbs, pumpkin seeds, walnut kernels and plant essential oils are among the centuries-old folk remedies against worms.
The course of treatment of the body from parasites with folk remedies usually lasts about two weeks, after a certain period of time it is repeated.
The most affordable and popular are folk recipes for worms based on onions and garlic. The drugs that are burned are made from anal itching, remove the worm from the intestine and disinfect it.
The following two recipes can be used to treat worms in both children and adults:
- take five cloves of garlic, chop with a garlic chopper. Cook in a glass of boiling milk for about 15 minutes, over low heat. Allow the soup to cook, then filter. Worm medicine is taken during the day;
- in the evening chop a small onion with a knife, pour a glass of boiling water. Strain the infusion in the morning and drink, but always on an empty stomach.
The first and second procedures must be repeated every day for two weeks.
Fruits, leaves and roots of plants, and even bark help to quickly remove parasites from the body at home and in children and adults.
Their list includes wormwood, medicinal chamomile, elecampane root, buckthorn bark, St. John's wort and mint.
An infusion of wormwood will help cure worms in an older child.
For this purpose you need to steam a large spoonful of dried plant leaves in a glass of boiling water, after the grass settles to the bottom and the water gets a brown-green color, the prepared medicine must be filtered.
The worm infusion is taken 30 minutes before meals 3 times a day.
In the above recipe you can replace bitter wormwood with tansy flowers, but you have to cook such an infusion of worms for four hours. The dosage is also changed: the medicine must be taken four times a day, per tablespoon.
There is not always time to prepare decoctions that purify the body, so you can take care in advance of the supply of dried medicinal preparations of worms.
An effective blend made from flax seeds, wormwood leaves and cloves. These ingredients are taken in equal parts and mixed with each other, and then ground in a coffee grinder. Take half a teaspoon after meals.
Another way to treat worms in a child is carrot juice. The kid will have to drink 200 ml of fresh vegetables every day on an empty stomach for two weeks.
Diet for helminthic invasion
The worm treatment process requires the infected person to follow a diet.
The principle of improving the diet of a child and an adult comes down to adding products with antiparasitic properties to the menu - these include raw cabbage, carrots, garlic and onions.
In addition, diet meals must contain foods that are a source of fiber, such as beets, from which juice or salad can be made.
The main rule of a therapeutic diet is to refuse fatty and meaty foods - this means that the patient will have to give up even dietary meat and fish. During this period, the use of yogurt and kefir is encouraged.
The diet against worms in children and adults is different. During the treatment of helminth infestation, children are advised to give more yogurt with berry and fruit fillings.
But the most important nutritional advice for a child is to limit sweets. During this period, all sweets are canceled, and children are not given carbonated drinks.
Drink about 200 ml of garlic milk broth every night before bed.
You can feed your baby pumpkin seeds before bed. They contain a unique substance - cucurbitin, which has the ability to treat the human body from various types of worms.
In addition, pumpkin seeds are endowed with a laxative effect, which is why the affected parasites will quickly leave the child's body.
If worms are found in the liver, then it is better to consult a doctor about which foods are best to include in the menu.
As a rule, this is corn porridge, a decoction of rice cereals, pumpkin porridge, fruits, berries and vegetables.
Dietary food for worms in an adult can be shaped according to the following rules:
- drink a teaspoon of linseed oil daily on an empty stomach;
- it is recommended to follow a diet of fruits and vegetables in the first week of treatment;
- breakfast should contain fruits such as pineapple, watermelon, strawberry or grapefruit;
- be sure to use kefir or yogurt on worm body days;
- For a healthy snack that needs to be repeated between meals, you can use blackberries, lemons with peel or pomegranates;
- It is recommended to eat vegetable salads for lunch and dinner.
Worms don't like peppers, beets, radishes and cabbage - these foods should be eaten raw.
Don't forget to pour over dishes with hot spices, garlic, mustard. Spicy spices and all kinds of herbs help to fight worms.
After leaving the body to heal from worms, other foods can be introduced into the diet - in addition to foods containing sugar.
Meat and fish must be well fried before eating, especially this rule should not be ignored when it comes to feeding a child.
