How to get rid of parasites is a question that can be resolved unequivocally: by going to the pharmacy and purchasing anthelmintics. But this option is not suitable for everyone. Someone may face the risk of helminth infection during a trip or while relaxing in the country, someone fundamentally prefers natural remedies to "chemicals", and someone does not tolerate medications well. Fortunately, folk medicine also has effective recipes that provide gentle and safe cleansing of parasites.
Important to remember
Before starting deworming, you still need to consult a doctor who will determine the contraindications. Even folk remedies can harm you if you have diseases of the gallbladder, pancreas, liver and kidneys, as well as hypertension.
A visit to the doctor is absolutely necessary if you don't feel well. In case of fever, severe muscle pain, blood in the urine and epilepsy attacks, do not self-medicate and seek medical help immediately.
Folk remedies for parasites: before and after
Before you start using folk remedies for parasites, you should cleanse your body. To do this, take Enterosgel for a week.
During cleansing (regardless of your choice - folk remedies for parasites or anthelmintic drugs) follow a diet. The basis of the diet should be vegetables, cereals and soups in weak broth. Fatty foods, dairy products and fermented milk products should be reduced to a minimum.
After deworming, the diet should continue for 7 to 10 days. During this period, it is necessary to strictly observe hygiene rules, as the risk of re-infection with parasites in a weakened body increases.

How to avoid getting infected again
Preventing a disease, as they say, is easier than treating it. In order not to catch pinworms, lamblia, roundworms, echinococci and other unwanted "freeloaders", you need to follow a few simple rules.
- Avoid unwashed food and dirty water. Always wash your hands (especially after contact with the ground), as well as vegetables and fruits; Do not drink water from unknown sources.
- Do not eat half-cooked (and especially raw) meat and fish. They may contain pork tapeworm larvae, trichinella and other parasites, so always cook meat and fish thoroughly.
- Wash your hands after contact with pets – dogs and cats. Pets can infect you with dipylidia, toxoplasmosis and other infections.
- When traveling to tropical countries, buy hand sanitizers and antibacterial wipes. Do not go barefoot or swim in unfamiliar bodies of fresh water.
