More than half of the world's population suffers from parasites. This is due to the fact that in some situations the infection is asymptomatic, but this does not relieve the carrier of pathogenic complications that occur in the human body. In most cases, you can get rid of parasites with folk remedies at home, for this you need to know the types, signs and characteristics of the treatment of each pathogen.
Causes of occurrence
Parasites in the host's body appear by contact with the external environment. All pathways of disease penetration are divided into 4 main types:
- Alimentary contamination (with dirty water or food, unwashed hands).
- Contact and household penetration (through pets and other infected people).
- Transmissive injection (due to insect bites).
- Purcut or active infection (penetration of the parasite larva through the skin and mucous membranes in contact with dirty soil or water).
Such a disease can also be infected through unprotected sexual intercourse, in this way Trichomonas enter the human body.
Types of parasites
All bacteria that live by attaching to the human body can be divided into three large groups:
- Protozoa. This group has many varieties, most often you can meet with infection with lamblia, trochimonads and toxoplasma. They can appear in various parts of the body.
- Worms (helminths). These include pinworms, roundworm, pork and bovine tapeworm, echinococcus and other species. Such parasites develop in the intestines of the patient.
- Ectoparasites such as ticks or lice, fleas. Parasitizes human skin (hairy or open epidermis).
Ectoparasites are the safest, unlike other species. Protozoa and worms can develop in the body of an infected person for months, impairing the work of internal organs, but without giving any special signs of their occurrence. Symptoms with worms are often attributed to general malaise or diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, pancreas. In order to prevent the development of the disease, it is necessary to know the symptoms and signs of the appearance of parasitic "guests" in the body.
Symptoms and Signs
Symptoms of different types of pathogenic microorganisms in the body may differ. On average, the following clinical picture can be distinguished:
- headache in the forehead and irritability;
- weakness, fatigue;
- loss of appetite and nausea, as a result - weight loss;
- bowel dysfunction, pain;
- skin rash;
- increase in body temperature;
- anemia (blanching of the skin and mucous membranes of the body).
Microorganisms live off their host, so the human body is working to wear and tear. As the pathology develops, the symptoms worsen, so treatment should be started when the first signs are detected.
Effective treatment with folk recipes
You can get rid of parasites with folk remedies at home using various recipes. Their choice depends on the type of pathogens.
Protozoan microorganisms (protozoa)
Such microorganisms can parasitize in various parts of the human body. Can infect human intestines (toxoplasma, amoeba), blood and heart (trypanosomes), genitourinary system (Trichomonas). Against parasites of this type, folk recipes suggest using:
- Enemas with the addition of cranberry juice.To do this, dilute a few tablespoons of cranberry juice with salt in 2 liters of water. Washing must be repeated several times a day. The method effectively helps in the fight against protozoa in the intestine.
- Garlic enemas.5-6 garlic cloves must be boiled, filled with milk, then cooled. With the resulting product, washing is also repeated 2-3 times a day.
You can get rid of this type of parasite with the help of peppers and aromatic herbs. I advise you to add more onions, garlic, pepper and horseradish to the food consumed, as well as cinnamon to baked goods and cloves.
Getting rid of giardiasis
Separately, attention should be focused on the destruction and treatment of lamblia - the simplest that can penetrate almost any organ of the body of its wearer. There are several recipes for such parasites:

Dry herbs are boiled with boiling water. It is necessary to take the collection 2-3 times a day, the course of treatment is a week.
Sauerkraut helps from the appearance of lamblia in the human liver,or rather its brine. It is necessary to drink the brine 3-4 sips before meals. Strawberries, dill seeds, or caraway seeds can also help.

For home treatment of ectoparasites, laundry or antibacterial soap effectively helps, tar can be used.
General recipes and methods

Intervention into your body can be avoided. Prevention of parasites in the human body consists in the following rules:
- thorough hand hygiene;
- washing fresh vegetables and fruits before eating;
- the use of mainly boiled and filtered water, not raw;
- subject dishes to thorough heat treatment;
- monitor the presence of parasites in a pet (visit a veterinarian);
