How to get rid of parasites is a question that can be solved clearly: by going to the pharmacy and buying anthelmintics. However, this option is not suitable for everyone. Someone may be at risk of becoming infected with helminths while traveling or relaxing in the country, someone generally prefers natural remedies to "chemicals", and someone does not tolerate medications well. Fortunately, in folk medicine there are also effective recipes that will give you aenable gentle and safe cleaning of parasites.
Important to remember
Before you start deworming, you still need to consult a doctor who will identify contraindications. Even folk remedies can harm you if you suffer from diseases of the gallbladder, pancreas, liver and kidneys, as well as high blood pressure.
If you feel very unwell, a visit to the doctor is essential. If you have fever, severe muscle pain, blood in the urine and epilepsy attacks, you should not self-medicate and consult a doctor immediately.
Folk remedies for parasites: before and after
Before using folk remedies for parasites, you should cleanse the body. To do this, take Enterosgel for a week.
During cleansing (regardless of what you choose - folk remedies for parasites or anthelmintics), 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 kept to a minimum.
After deworming, the diet should be continued for 7-10 days. During this period, hygiene rules must be strictly observed, as the risk of re-infection with parasites is increased in a weakened body.

- Do not eat undercooked (and especially raw) meat and fish. They may contain pork tapeworm larvae, trichinella and other parasites. Always cook meat and fish thoroughly.
