Treatment of papillomas with folk remedies

Papillomas are benign formations that can be localized in any part of the skin and mucous membranes. Different means and methods are used for their removal - medications, medicinal plants, surgical removal. Treatment of papillomas with folk remedies is more often used when localizing formations on the skin and is carried out at home.

Folk remedies for the treatment of 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 it

Papillomas are benign neoplasms that are the result of increased proliferation of epithelial cells. They can appear anywhere on the body:

  • face - most often near the eyes;
  • door;
  • chest, abdomen, back;
  • lower and upper limbs;
  • anogenital area;
  • the mucous membrane of the genitals - the walls of the vagina and the cervix in women, the penis in men;
  • the lining of the respiratory tract.

In most cases, papillomaviruses (human papilloma virus, HPV) are the cause of formations. The disease can develop in both adults and children.

Treatment has two main directions: removal of papillomas and fight against viral infection (including strengthening of the immune system). Various methods can be used for this, including recipes from traditional medicine. The most effective is the combined approach to treatment, i. e. the combination of different methods.

Folk recipes: pros and cons

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:

  1. Get rid of warts may 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.
  2. The use of aggressive products can lead to skin burns and the development of other complications.
  3. During the treatment, the contraindications for the use of certain medicinal herbs are often not taken into account, which is why allergic reactions and side effects from the digestive tract can 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:

  • a combination of means for internal and external use;
  • consideration of 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 to cure papillomas with their use alone. It is much more effective to combine their intake with basic therapy (correction of lifestyle, strengthening of immunity) and, if necessary, with 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 complementary. The combination of internal and external agents is particularly relevant for the treatment of skin diseases arising as a result of a weakened immune system.
