Papillomas are benign formations that can be located on any part of 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 them with other methods of treatment.
Papillomas: what is it and how to treat
Papillomas are benign neoplasms that result from increased proliferation of epithelial cells. They can appear anywhere on the body:
- face - more 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). For this, various methods can be used, including recipes of traditional medicine. The most effective is a combined approach to treatment, that is, a combination of several methods.
Folk recipes: pros and cons
The use of folk remedies is just one of the treatment options.
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 will not be possible to quickly cure the disease. But even with long-term treatment, there is no guarantee of success.
- Using harsh products can lead to skin burns and the development of other complications.
- In treatment, contraindications to the use of some medicinal herbs are often not taken into account, therefore, allergic reactions and side effects from the digestive tract may develop.
Therefore, treatment with folk remedies will not allow you to get rid of papillomas quickly. 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;
- take into account contraindications for use;
- frequency of use.
In addition, it is recommended not to limit yourself to the use of only 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 their intake with basic therapy (lifestyle correction, strengthening immunity) and, if necessary, drug therapy or surgical removal.
Classification
All folk remedies are divided into 2 large groups: for internal and external use. However, they are not mutually exclusive but rather complement each other. A combination of internal and external agents is particularly relevant for the treatment of skin diseases that occur due to a weakened immune system.
