Papillomas are benign formations that can be localized on any part of the skin and mucous membrane. Different means and methods are used for their removal - drugs, herbs, surgical removal. Treatment of papillomas with folk remedies is more often used in the localization of 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 methods of treatment with them.
Papillomas: what they are and how to treat them
Papillomas are benign neoplasms that are the result of increased proliferation of epithelial cells. They can appear anywhere on the body:
- face - most often near the eyes;
- the neck;
- chest, stomach, back;
- lower and upper limbs;
- anogenital zone;
- the mucous membrane of the genital organs - the walls of the vagina and cervix in women, the penis in men;
- mucous membranes of the respiratory tract.
In most cases, the cause of formations are papilloma viruses (human papilloma virus, HPV). The disease can develop in both adults and children.
Treatment has two main directions: removal of papilloma and fight against viral infection (including strengthening of the immune system). Various methods can be used for this, including traditional medicine recipes. The most effective is a combined approach to treatment, i. e. 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 be treated 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 cure the disease quickly. 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 for the use of certain medicinal plants are often not taken into account, so allergic reactions and side effects from the digestive tract may develop.
So, treatment with folk remedies will not allow you to quickly get rid of papillomas. However, with the right approach, home treatment can be effective.
What principles should be followed when choosing therapy:
- combination of funds for internal and external use;
- calculation of contraindications for use;
- frequency of use.
In addition, it is recommended not to limit yourself to the use of folk remedies only, because it is unlikely that papillomas will be cured only by their use. It is much more effective to combine their intake with basic therapy (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 are not mutually exclusive, but complement each other.
