Papillomas are benign formations that can be localized in any part of the skin and mucous membranes. Various means and methods are used for their removal - drugs, medicinal plants, surgical removal. Treatment of papillomas with folk remedies is more often used to localize skin formations and is performed at home.
Folk remedies against papillomas are not always effective enough, so it is better to supplement them with other methods of treatment.
Papillomas: what they are and how to treat them
Papillomas are benign tumors resulting from increased proliferation of epithelial cells. They can appear anywhere on the body:
- face - usually near the eyes;
- the neck;
- chest, abdomen, back;
- lower and upper limbs;
- anogenital zone;
- genital mucosa - vaginal walls and cervix in women, penis in men;
- respiratory tract mucosa.
In most cases, papillomaviruses (human papillomavirus, HPV) are the cause of formations. The disease can develop in both adults and children.
Treatment has two main directions: removing papillomas and fighting 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, which is a combination of various methods.
Folk recipes: advantages and disadvantages
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:
- It may take several months to get rid of warts, and it will not be possible to cure the disease quickly. However, even with long-term treatment, there is no guarantee of success.
- The use of aggressive products can cause skin burns and other complications.
- Contraindications to the use of certain medicinal herbs are often not taken into account during treatment, so allergic reactions and side effects from the digestive tract may develop.
Thus, treatment with folk remedies will not allow you to quickly get rid of papillomas. However, with the right approach, home remedies can be effective.
What principles should be followed when choosing therapy:
- mix of funds for internal and external use;
- accounting of consumption contraindications;
- frequency of use.
In addition, it is recommended not to limit yourself to folk remedies, because it is unlikely that papillomas can be cured using them alone. It is much more effective to combine their use with basic therapy (correction of lifestyle, strengthening of immunity), and, if necessary, with drug therapy or surgical removal.
