No one is safe from helminths entering the body. This problem is very subtle, so people, fearing punishment, treat worms at home. However, it is best to consult an infectious disease specialist and undergo therapy under the guidance of a physician.
But you can also deal with the parasites themselves. There are hundreds of different options in the arsenal of traditional medicine, since this is an old problem that was solved long before the first pills appeared. In this article we will talk about the possible threat of helminthiasis to humans, as well as how to get rid of worms.
How do worms enter the human body?
The human body is an ideal habitat for parasites: the human body is always warm and moist, so there is plenty of food for them. Helminths try to get inside with all available means:
- through unwashed hands, dirty toys;
- with foods of animal origin that have not been subjected to sufficient heat treatment;
- through untreated water (while swimming in a pond or river);
- in contact with pets (with fur, saliva);
- from mother to child through the placenta;
- during intimacy;
- through the blood.
Once in the body, the worms travel through the organs, populating the space from the liver to the eyes and brain. Although the life of an adult worm rarely exceeds 2 months, this period is enough to leave rich offspring.
How dangerous are parasites?
It is vitally important to fight helminths, because they pose a serious threat to the body:
- reduce immunity. Constant colds, inflammatory processes, infections are caused by worms. A person can "run to doctors", drink immunostimulants and not know about the real cause of poor health.
- lead to intoxication. During their life, helminths release toxic substances. Accumulating in the body, they cause poisoning and serious organ damage.
- cause allergies. A patient can do hundreds of tests for allergens, and not realize that removing the worms is enough to solve the problem.
There are about 250 types of parasites, and infection with some of them leads to terrible consequences:
- intestinal volvulus.
- liver cirrhosis, abscess.
- pneumonia, bronchitis.
- brain damage, paralysis.
- infertility.
- severe anemia.
- fatigue, developmental delay in childhood.
Signs and symptoms of infection
Symptoms of the presence of parasites in the body:
- weakness, a person gets tired quickly;
- low hemoglobin level (however, this does not always happen).
- increased anxiety, restless sleep, teeth grinding at night.
- Digestive problems: there can be either constipation or diarrhea (depending on the type of helminths).
- frequent allergic reactions.
- muscle and joint pain.
- dyspnea.
- headache, migraine.
Complications appear in advanced cases. Therefore, it is important to immediately suspect the presence of a helminthic infection and get rid of the worms quickly.
If there is a suspicion of helminthic infection, a stool test is performed. To clarify the diagnosis, you may need: a smear, ultrasound of internal organs, muscle biopsy, blood tests, etc.
Treatment of worms with folk remedies at home
If a stool analysis shows the presence of parasite eggs, it is necessary to continue the treatment. You can buy the medicine at the pharmacy, their choice is wide. But the list of disadvantages is no less extensive:
- by poisoning the worms, the drug supplies the body with toxins;
- there is a high risk of buying a counterfeit medicine;
- a large number of side effects;
- aggressive effect on the microflora of the stomach.
Knowing this, many people prefer to treat helminths themselves, using remedies that have been proven for generations.
Benefits of traditional medicine:
- gentle to men, but harsh to worms;
- relative safety;
- increasing immunity;
- body restoration.
Removing worms at home consists of 3 stages:
- preparation, the purpose of which is to remove toxins. Use pumpkin oil, which you drink 1 teaspoon with breakfast, dinner and lunch.

- elimination of consequences, recovery phase.
Despite all the advantages, even with folk remedies you should be careful and follow the recommendations:

- Pregnant women can use traditional medicine only after consulting a doctor;
- do not use during exacerbation of gastritis, ulcers, liver and kidney pathologies;
- carefully study the prescription and find out if the patient has any contraindications.
Please note that before treatment you need to find out the type of parasites that have settled in the body. If at home you can easily deal with roundworms, pinworms and other species, then there are helminths, the treatment of which is a problem even for doctors. Among them: tapeworm, lamblia, filaria, etc. This type of infestation should only be treated under the supervision of parasitologists and infectologists.
