Folk treatment for giardiasis

Treating giardia with folk remedies is good because, unlike pharmaceutical drugs, they act more gently and softly. Pharmaceutical drugs are toxic and kill not only giardia, but also all the beneficial intestinal microflora.

Giardia are the simplest single-celled organisms, adapted to live inside the human body. They get there with food or water. In most cases, giardia multiply in the small intestine, but it happens that giardia penetrate the liver, pancreas and other organs.

Infection of the human body with giardia occurs unnoticed. Their incubation period is 1-3 weeks, and during this time giardiasis does not manifest itself in any way. But it happens that even after this they live in the intestines for many years without making themselves known, and they are discovered only by chance during an examination. But more often it happens that giardia multiply rapidly, stick to the walls of the small intestine, and this leads to a deterioration in its ability to absorb nutrients and a disorder of the entire gastrointestinal tract.

The symptoms of giardiasis are as follows. A person experiences pain in the pit of the stomach, then diarrhea appears, the stomach swells, gases accumulate. The stool becomes liquid, watery, sometimes foamy, but there are no bloody or mucous impurities in it. After a couple of weeks, the acute phase of the disease passes by itself, and giardiasis becomes chronic. If the body is exposed to other diseases at this time, it is weakened and giardiasis worsens with renewed vigor.

Children suffer from giardiasis much more often than adults. There are two reasons for this: firstly, children often do not observe the rules of personal hygiene, especially when playing outside. And the second reason is that giardia are very sensitive to an acidic environment, and since the acidity in children is lower, giardia feel very uncomfortable in children's stomachs. In adults, gastric acid dissolves almost all microorganisms that get there.

Lamblia love sweets, and therefore during treatment you should completely give up sweets and, on the contrary, include more sour foods in your diet.

Giardia spores (cysts) are very tenacious. Outside the human body, they can survive in a humid environment for up to 100 days. They enter our stomachs with raw water, unwashed fruit, or through contact with an infected person.
