Effective home pest control treatments

Severe digestive disorders, sleep disturbances and increased nervousness, skin spots, weight loss and appetite - these are just some of the symptoms you will encounter when infected with worms. However, the treatment of helminths can be no less dangerous than them.

An incorrectly chosen course, an overdose, an acute allergic reaction - all this can cause irreparable damage to your health. Therefore, let's talk about how to get rid of worms at home and whether it is worth changing traditional medicine to folk medicine.

Advantages and disadvantages of folk remedies

Today, the pharmaceutical market offers dozens of names of tablets, capsules and granules. However, not all infected people rush to buy them immediately after learning about their diagnosis.

Every year more and more people choose traditional medicine.

And it is not surprising, because it has a number of advantages, such as:

1. Security.The main problem with drugs is their high toxicity. By destroying the parasites, they gradually accumulate in the body, causing damage to the liver and other internal organs. Folk remedies for worms, on the other hand, consist exclusively of herbal products. They are completely safe for both adults and children and therefore can be prescribed at any age.
2. Price.While you will have to pay a lot of money for branded drugs, home treatment will cost much less. The components of paints and mixtures are used everywhere and are therefore cheap.
3. Availability.Artificial or natural shortages often occur for many tablets. This does not threaten folk remedies. The main ingredients of "grandma's" recipes can always be found in any pharmacy or grocery store.
4. Versatility.Medicines have a fairly long list of side effects and therefore are not suitable for everyone. Herbal preparations against worms can be taken both by the average person and by people in a high-risk category: children, pregnant women, nursing mothers.
5. Reliability.Medicines appear and disappear, replacing each other on the shelves with quite active speed. At the same time, some of them do not even undergo mandatory inspections and are not registered with the state. register of drugs approved for use. At the same time, folk remedies have passed the main test - the test of time. They clearly showed their effectiveness, because with their help our grandmothers were successfully treated for worms, when they had not even heard of newborn tablets.

As for the shortcomings of traditional medicine, among them we cannot but highlight the time of treatment. The drugs remove the worms in one or two applications. For those taking tinctures and herbal preparations, the treatment may last more than a month.

Note!If the worm infection occurs at a severe stage, folk remedies alone will not help you. In this case, comprehensive pest control treatment should be used, which will include both drugs and folk remedies for pests.

Traditional medicine and its varieties

Today on the Internet you can find dozens of recipes for various herbs, decoctions and diets, for which it will not be difficult for an untrained user to get confused. Therefore, let's see what modern traditional medicine has to offer and which of its treatments really help.

Tinctures

Then the resulting mixture is mixed and placed in a dark place for 10-12 hours. When the infusion of the drink is finished, it is filtered and taken for 4 days, half a glass a day.

Pomegranate decoction

Pomegranate is considered one of the most effective natural products in the fight against worms. Today, not only in folk medicine, but also in homeopathy, you can find many medicines based on it. The solution is prepared as follows: the pomegranate peels are dried and crushed. They are then poured with boiling water in the proportion of one glass per 10 grams of crust.

The tincture should be kept in the same place where it was infused, since in light or heat its beneficial properties will quickly disappear completely.

Note!Whichever method of worm removal you choose, self-medication, as a rule, only makes the problem worse. Therefore, if you do not want to face the consequences of an overdose or the wrong choice of the drug, be sure to consult a parasitologist before starting treatment.

Other folk remedies for worms

If you have neither the time nor the desire to deal with various tinctures and decoctions and you need the result "yesterday", you can resort to the help of products that, if they do not kill the worms, make their stay in the body extremely uncomfortable.

These include:

• Sauerkraut.Drink half a glass of brine based on this three times a day, half an hour before meals, and the parasites (often Giardia) attacking your gall bladder and liver will soon leave the body alone.
• Strawberry and black currant.These berries contain active substances that serve as real poison for lamblia and pinworms. Therefore (if possible) you should eat as much of them as possible, especially during the season.
• Pumpkin (or coriander) seeds.If you don't like the solution we wrote above, crack the seeds in a pan (necessarily without adding oil) and use for a light snack or as a complete snack.
• Watermelon seeds.Grind the watermelon seeds and pour milk over them (in a ratio of one to ten). By taking this mixture twice a day, you will forget about parasites for a long time.
• Pine.Eat 50-100 grams. nuts daily for two months, and the result will not be long in coming.

However, do not forget that these products are not a panacea for helminths. Simply adding them to your diet will not get rid of parasites, although they are more than effective as a means of prevention.

It would be better to combine their consumption with the use of folk remedies. But even in this case, you cannot expect a quick result. Therefore, if an infection occurs and you do not want to poison your body with chemicals, be prepared for long-term treatment.

Enemas

The main disadvantage of most pharmaceutical and folk remedies for combating worms is that they are effective only against adult worms, while having little effect on eggs and larvae. In addition, dead parasites remain in the intestines for a long time, serving as food for their surviving brothers.

Therefore, if you want the treatment to be as quick and effective as possible, in addition to taking drugs, you should also include enemas. Not only will they clean the lower intestines of eggs and parasite debris, but they will also help get rid of constipation and stabilize bowel function.

Today, the two most common enema recipes are:

• The first is based on garlic

  It is excellent for both adults and their children. And in case of individual intolerance, garlic can be replaced with onions or tansy. The recipe for such an enema is simple: a head of garlic must be chopped and poured with boiling water (100 ml). Mix the solution well and let it infuse for 12-15 hours. After this time, it should be filtered and taken in an enema.

  The duration of the cleaning depends on the scale of the infection: in the initial stages, a week is enough, in later stages, the treatment should last at least 14 days. If you want to repeat the course, you should do it no earlier than a week after the end of the previous one.

• The second is based on soda

  This recipe is no longer particularly suitable for children, as their immunity is not yet that strong and soda can have a negative effect on the internal intestinal microflora. For adults, on the contrary, such an enema is completely safe.

  Its preparation is quite simple: take boiled water at room temperature (1 liter) and add a teaspoon of soda to it. Allow the baking soda to dissolve, then mix the solution well. Cleaning should be done every other day.

  The duration of the course (as in the case of garlic) depends on the progress of the infection. If there are not so many worms in the body yet, it is enough to clean for a week.

  If they have already developed intense activity, it takes at least 2 weeks to remove the parasites from the body using an enema.

To prevent wasting enema use, when cleaning you should observe the following rules:

1. Before starting the procedure, be sure to go to the toilet. This will empty the bowels and make the removal of parasites as effective as possible.
2. Clean the body in the evening or even at night, when the worms are most active in migration. The best option is before bedtime or 4-5 hours after the last meal.
3. After introducing the solution, try to keep it inside the body for at least 20-30 minutes. This will hit large numbers of worms and enhance the cleaning effect.
4. If the use of an enema causes side effects (for example, diarrhea, diarrhea, allergic reaction), stop the course immediately and consult your doctor as soon as possible.
5. If the infection has reached serious proportions, do 2-3 enemas in a row to enhance the cleansing effect.

Although the above folk remedies for the treatment and expulsion of worms are of herbal origin, it would be wrong to call them completely safe.

People may be allergic or have a hypersensitivity reaction to certain components of infusions and decoctions.. So, whichever option you decide to follow, don't forget to consult your doctor first. It will not only help you find the safest folk anthelmintic for humans, but also choose the optimal dose and adjust the course of treatment.

Diet as a means of combating worms

Regardless of the treatment methods you choose (traditional or pharmaceutical), you will have to forget about your usual diet for some time. In order not to provide parasites with additional resources for active reproduction, you should adhere to a certain diet. However, for most patients it will seem mild, since it does not have strict restrictions.

As a rule, the list of available dishes is prescribed by a parasitologist. Therefore, for your reference, we provide an approximate list of permitted and prohibited products.

Welcome	Prohibited	It is recommended to limit
Fermented milk products (kefir, fermented baked milk). Butter and olive oil (in moderation). Fruits and vegetables with a high fiber content. Thick bread. Foods rich in vitamins A, B and C (egg yolks, fish oil, peas, red pepper, etc. ). Peanuts and walnuts. Onions, garlic, pumpkin seeds and other natural anthelmintic products.	Alcohol. Cigarettes and tobacco in all forms. Root vegetables (potatoes, zucchini, sweet potatoes, etc. ). Pasta. Products with a high starch content. Products that cause fermentation processes in the body.	Sweet. Coffee and beverages containing coffee. Dishes with a high fat content. Milk. Foods that slow down the digestive processes and cause constipation.

As you can see, this diet really has no serious restrictions. Therefore, it will not be difficult to adhere to it. However, we reiterate that this is just a sample diet plan. In a specific case, the diet should be selected by a parasitologist based on the individual characteristics of the patient.

Precautionary measures

Diets, healing decoctions, enemas - all this, of course, is good. But what is the use of treatment if reinfection occurs immediately after treatment?

Folk remedies for helminths will be useful only if, along with taking them, you observe the following rules:

• Wash your hands thoroughly when returning home, after going to the toilet and before every (even small) meal.
• Monitor the condition of your pets: keep them clean, have them regularly examined by a vet, feed them the right food.
• Process food properly before eating it: pour boiling water over raw vegetables and fruits, cook meat and fish properly (boil, fry).
• Do not drink tap water or from unverified natural sources.
• Be more selective in close relationships and also don't kiss strangers and animals.
• Wash and launder purchased items immediately after purchase.

Of course, if infection has already occurred, these precautions will be useless. However, if you stick to them after recovery, you won't have to think about how to deal with worms at home for a long time.
