A drug against parasites in the body can also be a folk remedy if, for example, the patient has an intolerance to drugs.
However, these agents should be prescribed by a physician, as parasitic diseases can be caused by various pathogens, whose vital activity is also suppressed in different ways.
Should we get rid of parasites?
Human parasitic diseases are divided into helminthiasis (caused by worms) and protozoal infections (caused by protozoa). Both they and others can be dangerous to the human body.
Thus, helminthiases cause intestinal disorders, the products of their vital activities disrupt liver function, reduce work capacity, and delay physical and neuropsychological development in children. In addition, they contribute to the sensitization (allergy) of the body and create a favorable background for the development of allergic diseases. Protozoa are no less dangerous.
Trichomonas are the cause of sexually transmitted infections.
Giardia is dangerous mainly for children in whom they can cause intoxication and allergic diseases.
How to treat parasitic infections
If you suspect a parasitic infection, talk to your doctor. They will first perform an examination and then prescribe a medication that is suitable for treating the identified disease. In this case, all indications and contraindications for the appointment of this drug must be taken into account.
Sometimes the patient is intolerant to drugs or simply does not want to use "chemistry". In this case, the doctor may prescribe a folk remedy for parasites in the body.
Folk remedies, just like medicines from a pharmacy, cannot be absolutely safe, because a certain dose is needed to destroy the 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.
