We often blame work under conditions of chronic stress for the deterioration of the body’s condition. We often suffer from chronic fatigue, lack of appetite, drowsiness, headaches or abdominal pain. It turns out that the visible symptoms can have completely different backgrounds.
One of them is infection with parasites, which wreak havoc in the body. They can live in different parts of the digestive system, but also in muscles, joints, organs, and even blood. We often do not even realize that parasites have accumulated in our body, and their detection occurs by chance. How to recognize a parasitic disease? How to deal with them? Can you get rid of them with home remedies?
The action of parasites
Parasitic diseases are common, but few are aware of their presence in the body. Their activity is very harmful to the whole organism. They deprive him of vitamins, minerals and hormones, which weakens his condition. In addition, they can release harmful toxins that severely weaken the immune system. Worse, they can press against muscles and internal organs such as the brain, heart, and lungs, leading to pain, serious illness and, as a result, can lead to death. It would seem that parasites are the lot of young children, since pin worms often attack them. Unfortunately, parasites, which can be dangerous, attack everyone. The body is susceptible to infection with tapeworms, trichinella, flukes, hookworms and lamellae.
How to recognize a parasitic disease?
A parasitic disease often gives the wrong symptoms, therefore, in most cases, it is underestimated and is detected only when it is already making serious changes in the body. How is the presence of parasites manifested? First, fatigue and lack of energy, stomach problems (indigestion, abdominal pain, diarrhea, nausea) or lack of appetite. Often there are ailments from the nervous system: headaches, impaired concentration, or insomnia. In addition, skin changes appear: more often than usual, acne and irritation appear, itching (especially in intimate places) and inflammation appear.
Get rid of parasites: Identification of a parasitic disease
It is difficult to diagnose a parasitic disease on your own, so if you are suspicious and you notice symptoms, contact your GP. He will recommend special tests, such as stool or blood tests, that can detect the presence of parasites. Unfortunately, not all of them are 100% effective: some of them are not very reliable (for example, stool tests) or the presence of parasites is hidden. Therefore, to be absolutely sure, it would be a good idea to ask for directions to a few. If the suspicions are confirmed, the doctor will recommend pharmacological therapy, which, depending on the development of the disease, lasts from several days to even several months.
Get rid of parasites: Homemade ways
If the symptoms are not of much concern, you can try to control the parasites yourself. First you need to change your eating habits: give up alcohol, sweets, as well as ready-made and high-carbohydrate foods, as they contribute to the development of parasites in the body. Food must be thoroughly washed before eating, and if possible, eaten after heat treatment (high temperature kills parasite larvae and eggs). Pay attention to good hygiene: washing your hands frequently and thoroughly, avoiding personal items (towels and bed linen) and washing them frequently at high temperatures.
Parasite treatment
One well-known treatment for parasites is to eat two tablespoons of pumpkin seeds on an empty stomach and then take a laxative (such as a tablespoon of castor oil) after an hour to expel the worms. The treatment can be repeated after two days. Another way is the apple diet, in which you eat only raw apples (thoroughly washed) for three days for three days. It is enough to divide the fruit into five portions. For the best effect, the course of treatment can be repeated after a month. It is also worth eating a clove of garlic three times a day with plenty of mineral water. Instead, you can drink a drink made from water, lemon juice and two or three drops of oregano or clove oil at the same frequency.
Get rid of parasites: Eat them as often as possible
Inexpensive and readily available foods play a big role in getting rid of parasites. What should you strive for? First, silage (cucumbers and cabbage), fermented milk products (kefir and yogurts) and fresh vegetables (beets, cabbage, carrots, zucchini, eggplant, broccoli, leeks, onions, horseradish, radishes or sorrel), rich in fiber. If possible, add spices to ready-made meals. Turmeric, cayenne pepper, cloves, and ginger are very effective.
