How to get rid of parasites is a question that can be solved unequivocally: by going to the pharmacy and buying anthelmintic drugs. But this option is not suitable for everyone. Someone may face the risk of helminth infection on a trip or while resting 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 will allow you to gently and safely cleanse from parasites.
It is important to remember
Before starting deworming, you should still consult a doctor who will determine contraindications. Even folk remedies can harm you if you have diseases of the gallbladder, pancreas, liver and kidneys, as well as hypertension.
A visit to the doctor is absolutely necessary if you feel really bad. In case of fever, severe muscle pain, blood in the urine and epilepsy attacks, do not self-medicate and seek medical help immediately.
Folk remedies for parasites: before and after
Before you start using folk remedies for parasites, you should clean your body. To do this, take Enterosgel for a week.
When cleaning (regardless of what you choose - folk remedies for parasites or anthelmintics), follow a diet. The basis of the diet should be vegetables, cereals and soups in weak soup. Fatty foods, milk and fermented milk products should be minimized.

- Avoid unwashed food and dirty water. Always wash your hands (especially after contact with the ground), as well as vegetables and fruits; Do not drink water from unknown sources.
- Do not eat half-cooked (and especially raw) meat and fish. They may contain pork tapeworm larvae, trichinella and other parasites, so always cook meat and fish thoroughly.
- Wash your hands after contact with pets - cats and dogs. Pets can infect you with dipylidia, toxoplasmosis and other infections.
- When traveling to tropical countries, stock up on hand sanitizer and antibacterial wipes. Do not walk barefoot or swim in unfamiliar freshwater.
