How to get rid of parasites is a question that can be solved unequivocally: by going to the pharmacy and buying anthelmintics. But this option is not suitable for everyone. Someone may be at risk of contracting helminths during a trip or while relaxing in the countryside, someone fundamentally prefers natural remedies to "chemical" ones, and someone does not tolerate medications well. Fortunately, folk medicine also has effective recipes that will give you gentle and safe cleansing of parasites.
Important to remember
Before starting deworming, it is necessary to consult a doctor who will determine the contraindications. Even home remedies can harm you if you suffer from 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 epileptic seizures, do not self-medicate and seek medical help immediately.
Folk remedies for parasites: before and after.
Before starting to use home remedies for parasites, it is advisable to cleanse the body. To do this, take Enterosgel for a week.
During cleansing (regardless of what you choose: folk remedies for parasites or anthelmintic drugs), follow a diet. The basis of the diet should be vegetables, cereals and soups in mild broth. Fatty foods, dairy and fermented milk products should be reduced to a minimum.
After deworming, the diet should be continued for 7 to 10 days. During this period, it is necessary to strictly observe hygiene rules, as the risk of reinfection by parasites in a weakened body increases.
Folk remedies for parasites: onion and garlic.
Spicy vegetables are an excellent help in the fight against intestinal worms, pinworms, lamblia and even, as traditional medicine assures, they can cope with bovine tapeworm.

- When traveling to tropical countries, stock up on hand sanitizers and antibacterial wipes. Do not walk barefoot or swim in unfamiliar bodies of fresh water.
