Papillomas are benign formations that can be localized anywhere on the skin and mucous membranes. For their removal, various tools and methods are used - 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 supplement other methods of treatment with them.
Papillomas: what is it and how to treat
Papillomas are benign neoplasms arising from increased proliferation of epithelial cells. They can appear anywhere on the body:
- face - most often near the eyes;
- neck;
- chest, abdomen, back;
- lower and upper limbs;
- anogenital region;
- mucous membrane of the genital organs - the walls of the vagina and cervix in women, penis in men;
- mucous membrane of the respiratory tract.
In most cases, papillomaviruses (human papillomavirus, HPV) are the cause of their occurrence. The disease can develop in both adults and children.
There are two main directions of treatment: removal of papillomas and the fight against viral infection (including strengthening the immune system). Various methods can be used for this, including recipes from traditional medicine. 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 be treated at home, the treatment does not require any special costs.
There are also disadvantages that limit the use of folk recipes:
- It may take several months to get rid of warts, 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 herbs are often not taken into account, therefore, allergic reactions and side effects from the digestive tract may develop.
Therefore, treatment with folk remedies does 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;
- accounting for contraindications to use;
- frequency of use.
In addition, it is advisable not to limit it to the use of folk remedies alone, since it will not be possible to cure papillomas with their use alone. It is much more effective to combine their intake with basic therapy (lifestyle correction, strengthening immunity) and, if necessary, drug therapy or surgical removal.
