Papillomas are benign formations that can be located anywhere on the skin and mucous membranes. For their removal, various means and methods are used - drugs, medicinal plants, surgical removal. Treatment of papillomas with folk remedies is most often used to identify formations on the skin and is carried out at home.
Folk remedies for papillomas are not always effective enough, so it is better to complement other treatment methods with them.
Papillomas: what they are and how to treat them
Papillomas are benign neoplasms resulting from increased proliferation of epithelial cells. They can appear anywhere on the body:
- face - most often near the eyes.
- neck;
- chest, belly, back;
- lower and upper extremities;
- anogenital zone?
- the mucous membrane of the genital organs - the walls of the vagina and cervix in women, the penis in men.
- mucous membrane of the respiratory tract.
In most cases, papilloma viruses (human papillomavirus, HPV) are the cause of the formations. The disease can develop in both adults and children.
Treatment has two main directions: the removal of papillomas and the fight against the viral infection (including strengthening the immune system). For this, various methods can be used, including traditional medicine recipes. The most effective is a combined approach to treatment, that is, a combination of different methods.
Folk recipes: pros and cons
The use of folk remedies is only one of the treatment options.
The main advantage of traditional medicine is accessibility. You can receive treatment at home, and the treatment does not require special costs.
There are also disadvantages that limit the use of folk recipes:
- Getting rid of warts can take several months, it will not be possible to quickly cure the disease. But even with long-term treatment, there is no guarantee of success.
- The use of aggressive products can lead to skin burns and the development of other complications.
- In treatment, contraindications to the use of certain medicinal herbs are often not taken into account, therefore, allergic reactions and side effects from the digestive system may develop.
So, treatment with folk remedies will not allow you to get rid of papillomas quickly. However, with the right approach, home treatment can be effective.
What principles should be followed when choosing treatment:
- mix of funds for internal and external use;
- accounting for contraindications to use;
- frequency of use.
In addition, it is recommended not to limit yourself to the use of only folk remedies, as it is unlikely that it will be possible to cure papillomas with their use alone. It is much more effective to combine their reception with basic treatment (correction of lifestyle, strengthening of immunity) and, if necessary, with drug therapy or surgical removal.
Classification
All folk remedies are divided into 2 large groups - for internal and external use. However, they do not exclude, but rather complement each other.
