Papillomas are benign formations that can be localized on any part of the skin and mucous membranes. To get rid of them, various means and methods are used - drugs, medicinal plants, 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.
Papilloma: what is it and how to treat it
Papilloma is a benign neoplasm resulting from increased proliferation of epithelial cells. They can appear anywhere on the body:
- face - most often near the eyes;
- neck;
- chest, stomach, back;
- lower and upper limbs;
- anogenital zone;
- mucous membranes of the genital organs - vaginal walls and cervix in women, penis in men;
- mucous membranes of the respiratory tract.
In most cases, the papillomavirus (human papillomavirus, HPV) is the cause of the formation. This disease can develop in both adults and children.
Treatment has two main directions: removal of papillomas and the fight against viral infections (including strengthening the immune system). For that, various methods can be used, including traditional medicine recipes. The most effective is the combined treatment approach, that is, a combination of different methods.
Folk recipes: pros and cons
The use of traditional medicine is only one treatment option.
The main advantage of traditional medicine is accessibility. You 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 is impossible to cure the disease quickly. But even with long-term treatment, there's no guarantee of success.
- Aggressive use of products can lead to skin burns and the development of other complications.
- In medicine, contraindications to the use of certain medicinal herbs are often not taken into account, because of this, allergic reactions and side effects from the gastrointestinal tract may develop.
Thus, treatment with folk remedies will not allow you to get rid of papillomas quickly. However, with the right approach, home treatments can be effective.
What principles should be followed in the choice of therapy:
- combination of funds for internal and external use;
- accounting for contraindications for use;
- frequency of use.
In addition, it is advisable not to limit oneself only to the use of folk remedies, since it is unlikely that it will be possible to cure papillomas with their use alone. It is much more effective to combine its intake with basic therapy (correction of lifestyle, strengthening immunity), and, if necessary, with drug therapy or surgical removal.
