Worms are parasitic worms that live in almost everyone's body. Some helminths in the digestive tract are useful, as they strengthen the immune system of the human body. There are about 260 species of worms, and only a few of them are useful. The rest have a negative effect on internal organs and systems, which means - they need to be disposed of and as soon as possible. One of the options for treatment is surgical intervention, but the need for surgery arises in extremely difficult cases. More often resort to medicamental treatment, which can be replaced and folk remedies. There is an opinion that one of the effective means is alcohol, under the influence of which worms die.
Do worms die of alcohol?
Widespread is the question of whether alcohol worm kills? The opinions of people, especially scientists, differ on this score. British scientists are interested in this issue. A number of studies were conducted, during which the effect of alcohol on parasites was studied. It turned out that alcohol has a harmful effect and really kills some species of helminths, such as pinworms and ascarids.
How does alcohol kill worms? It blocks the transmission to the muscle cells of nerve impulses, which in turn causes persistent paralysis of the parasites, so that they are easily removed from the body by the calves.
Helminths and alcohol
As it was already proved, alcohol really kills worms and promotes their rapid release from the body. Much depends on the correctness of the application of this method. This way to kill helminths can bring both benefit and harm.
It should be emphasized that to kill parasites, alcohol should not be consumed against the background of taking any medications. When interacting with certain medicines, side effects may occur, for example, liver and kidney damage, cardiovascular system, etc. In this case, alcohol not only does not kill worms, but also negatively affects the entire body.
It is absolutely forbidden to use this method for pregnant women and nursing mothers. Children are also allowed to use the method of getting rid of helminths, but the dosage should be much less than in adults.
Does the alcohol kill worms? Definitely. But in its pure form and in large quantities it is undesirable to take it. There are many different infusions that effectively kill helminths and do not harm a person's health. The most frequently used is wormwood tincture, which requires one tablespoon of bitter wormwood and 100 ml of alcohol or vodka. This tincture 100% kills parasites. If the infusion is prepared for the child, then the amount of alcohol should be reduced to half a teaspoon. Such a dose is enough to kill parasites in the child's body. The mixture is infused for two weeks. Use three times a day for half an hour before meals on a tablespoon of this mixture.
The next most frequently asked question: are there worms in alcoholics? In this regard, a special study was conducted among residents of regions, endemic for opisthorchiasis. A group of people was selected who abuse booze. As a result of the study, it was found that, despite the absence of any complaints, helminths were also detected during the alcohol intake of those participating in the survey. Such results are due to the fact that, firstly, alcohol kills only a few types of worms, and secondly, the therapeutic effect is achieved by taking exactly herbal infusions. On the basis of this, it can be concluded that alcoholics also have parasites.
