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 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 treatment methods with them.
Papillomas: what it is and how to treat
Papillomas are benign neoplasms that result 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 area;
- 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, papillomaviruses (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 viral infection (including strengthening the immune system). Various methods can be used for this, 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
Using home remedies is just one of the treatment options.
The main advantage of traditional medicine is accessibility. It can be treated at home, while 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 cause skin burns and the development of other complications.
- In the treatment, contraindications to the use of certain medicinal herbs are often not taken into account, due to which allergic reactions and side effects from the digestive tract may develop.
Therefore, 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 in the selection of therapy:
- combination of funds for internal and external use;
- count contraindications for use;
- frequency of use.
In addition, it is recommended not to limit yourself to the use of folk remedies, since it is unlikely that it will be possible to cure papillomas only with their use. It is much more effective to combine their intake with basic therapy (lifestyle correction, strengthening of immunity) and, if necessary, with drug therapy or surgical removal.
Classification
All home remedies are divided into 2 large groups: for internal and external use. However, they do not exclude each other, rather they complement each other. A combination of internal and external agents is especially relevant for the treatment of skin diseases that occur as a result of a weakened immune system.
