How to get rid of parasites is a question that can be solved unequivocally: by going to the pharmacy and buying anthelmintic drugs. But this option is not suitable for everyone. Someone may face the risk of infection with helminths on 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 will provide you with a gentle and safe cleansing of parasites.
Important to remember
Before starting deworming, you still need to consult a doctor who will determine 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 feel really unwell. In case of fever, severe muscle pain, blood in the urine and epilepsy attacks, do not self-medicate and immediately seek medical help.
Folk remedies for parasites: before and after
Before you start using folk remedies for parasites, you should cleanse the body. To do this, take Enterosgel for a week.
During the cleaning (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 weak broth. Fatty foods, dairy and fermented milk products should be kept to a minimum.
After deworming, the diet should be continued for 7–10 days. During this period, it is necessary to strictly observe the rules of hygiene, because the risk of re-infection with parasites in a weakened body is increased.

How to avoid getting infected again
Preventing a disease, as they say, is easier than treating it. In order not to pick up 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 - cats and dogs. Pets can infect you with dipylidia, toxoplasmosis and other infections.
- When traveling to tropical countries, stock up on hand sanitizers and antibacterial wipes. Do not walk barefoot or swim in unfamiliar fresh water bodies.
