Celandine against papillomas is actively used at home to remove warts and papillomas. The main reason for the appearance of such formations is the multiplication of the human papillomavirus (HPV). It can cause the growth of both benign and malignant tumors of the skin, oral mucosa and genitourinary organs. Human papillomavirus infection poses a particular threat to women and men with genital warts - genital warts that resemble cabbage or cock's comb inflorescences.
Before removing papillomas with celandine, it is imperative to consult with your doctor. The specialist will determine with the help of the available test methods, including PCR, HPV strains and the level of tumorigenicity. Based on this, drug therapy will be selected. But for safety and to eliminate the risk of tissue magnetization, professionals still recommend removing the neoplasms caused by papillomavirus infection.
Advantages and disadvantages of using celandine against papillomas
The plant belongs to the poppy family. The shrub has dark green leaves and yellow flowers. Celandine bears fruit several times during the active summer period. The plant is poisonous, therefore it should be used with extreme caution and only after preliminary consultation with the attending physician.
Chemistry of celandine
Celandine contains the following components:
- vitamin A;
- ascorbic acid;
- saponins;
- essential oils;
- phytoncides;
- organic acids;
- alkaloids with poisonous properties.
Maximum vigilance is caused by the presence of chelidonin and its derivatives in celandine. This alkaloid, when consumed in high doses, can cause seizures and paralysis. Chelidonin is found mainly in the stem of the plant. In small doses, the alkaloid has an anesthetic effect.
Basic properties of celandine
Local application of celandine has a complex effect:
- eliminates the signs of the inflammatory process;
- reduces pain in the area of papillomas and warts;
- promotes tissue healing;
- destroys viruses and fungi;
- destroys the tissue of benign neoplasms.
Celandine is commonly called warthog due to its properties of removing warts and papillomas. But it is necessary to use the plant correctly - to process it only neoplasms and not to touch the surrounding healthy tissues.
Important!Despite its widespread prevalence, celandine for papillomas can only be used if there is no risk of malignant degeneration of the neoplasms. Good quality of papillomatous growths can be confirmed using laboratory diagnostics and virus typing.
Reviews about celandine from papillomas are different, including negative ones. To achieve the expected effect, it is necessary to use the plant during the flowering period. This happens in late spring and early summer. Pharmaceutical drugs for papillomas today have a low concentration. This makes it difficult to completely remove the tumors, but prevents the risk of burns and other negative health effects.
How can celandine be used for papillomas
For papillomatous growths, you can use ready-made preparations and plant juice. It is worth choosing the appropriate method of treatment after consulting a specialist.
Use celandine juice
Very often, for papillomas, freshly squeezed celandine juice is used, which is obtained from a flowering plant. It is necessary to break the stem and process the neoplasms with the resulting cut. Most of the juice is found in the root area.
It is recommended to treat papillomatous skin growths with celandine juice 2-4 times a day. The duration of such treatment usually does not exceed a month. Papillomas gradually turn black, which indicates successful destruction. Under the scab, which falls off by itself, healthy skin is formed. For some time it will differ in shade from adjacent fabrics.
If fresh celandine juice seems too concentrated, it can be diluted with glycerin in a 1: 1 ratio. Such a remedy acts softer, prevents the appearance of an inflammatory reaction. A mixture of glycerin and celandine juice in consistency resembles a semi-liquid cream. It can be stored in the refrigerator and used for a long time.
You can also add alcohol or vodka to celandine juice. For 50 ml of alcohol, you need to take 100 ml of plant juice. Alcohol increases the shelf life of the home remedy for papillomas and has a mild drying effect on the neoplastic tissue. Alcoholic solutions also disinfect the skin well, preventing the addition of a secondary infection.
Important!If there are many papillomas and warts on the body, no more than 5-6 neoplasms can be treated at a time.
A sensitivity test is recommended before using celandine for the first time. To do this, apply a small amount of the product to the inner surface of the wrist and leave for 15 minutes. If, at the end of this period, the signs of an allergic reaction do not appear on the skin, celandine can be used to remove papillomatous formations.
Pharmaceutical preparations for papillomas
Today in the pharmacy you can buy ready-made products with celandine juice, alkalis and acids for removing papillomas at home. They help get rid of benign neoplasms without surgery. Reviews of doctors about drugs for papillomas are ambiguous. In most cases, experts recommend not experimenting with local preparations to reduce papillomamotous growths, especially if the tumors are located on the face and open areas of the body.
A complete approach to treatment
It is recommended to combine local celandine and alkali remedies with antiviral therapy to remove warts and papillomas. Only in this case is it possible to achieve the duration of remission.
Antiviral agents cannot completely destroy HPV, but they prevent further reproduction of the pathogen and the appearance of new neoplasms. Medicines for the treatment of human papillomavirus infection should be selected by the attending physician. Special agents suppress the multiplication of HPV and prevent the recurring course of the disease.
With a large number of papillomas, the use of local preparations with an aggressive composition in the form of alkali and celandine juice can be dangerous to health. The active course of human papillomavirus infection is an indication for the use of surgical treatment methods:
- cryodestruction;
- electrocoagulation;
- laser coagulation;
- radio wave removal of papillomas;
- surgical excision of papillomas with a scalpel.
In most cases, it is possible to get rid of benign papillomas using minimally invasive methods of treatment. The classic operation is used only with a large size of neoplasms and an increased oncogenic risk.
Laser coagulation, cryodestruction and other minimally invasive techniques leave no marks on the skin and have a low risk of HPV recurrence. After the operation, which is performed under local anesthesia and on an outpatient basis, a dark crust forms on the skin, which falls off on its own within a few weeks. During the recovery period, the fabric should not be damaged or exposed to excessive insolation.
To remove papillomas, two methods are often used - laser coagulation and cryodestruction. If the neoplasms are small and there is no risk of malignancy, which requires additional diagnostics of the removed tissues, then minimally invasive operations are more preferable to effectively combat papillomas and warts.
Prevention of papillomas
It is recommended to start the prevention of papillomas from childhood, protecting the baby's skin and mucous membranes from accidental damage and injury. Particular attention is paid to educational work. Since the greatest danger is posed by anogenital and genital warts, it is necessary to prevent accidental intimate contact. When venereal infections appear, treatment begins immediately, because urogenital diseases greatly increase the risk of damage to the mucous membrane, reduce local immunity and create favorable conditions for the activation of the papillomavirus.
HPV relapse occurs predominantly in people with weakened immune systems. A decrease in the body's natural defenses is the main predisposing factor for the development of human papillomavirus infection. Strong immunity prevents HPV from actively multiplying and causing tissue hyperplasia. To increase the body's defense against viruses and the action of external and internal adverse factors, both ready-made immunostimulating drugs and natural methods, including water hardening, can be used. A thermal stay by the sea has a positive effect on local immunity and on the general state of the immune system. A moderate amount of ultraviolet light helps boost immunity and improve general well-being.
