How to get rid of parasites is a question that can be solved without a doubt: by going to the pharmacy and buying anthelmintic drugs. But this option is not suitable for everyone. Someone can face the risk of helminth infection on a trip or while relaxing in the country, someone basically prefers natural remedies to "chemicals", and someone does not tolerate drugs well. Fortunately, folk medicine also has effective recipes that will provide you with a gentle and safe cleansing from 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 feel really unwell. In case of fever, severe muscle pain, blood in the urine and seizures, 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 the body. To do this, take Enterosgel for a week.
During the cleaning (no matter 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 increases.

How to avoid getting infected again
Prevention of a disease, as they say, is easier than its cure. In order not to collect worms, lampreys, 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 mostly 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 dipylids, 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.
