Papillomas are benign formations that can be localized on any part of the skin and mucous membranes. Various means and methods are used to remove them - drugs, 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 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 resulting from increased proliferation of epithelial cells. They can appear anywhere on the body:
- face - mostly near the eyes;
- Neck;
- chest, abdomen, back;
- lower and upper limbs;
- anogenital zone;
- the mucous membrane of the genital organs - the walls of the vagina and cervix in women, the penis in men;
- mucosa of the airways.
In most cases, papillomaviruses (human papillomavirus, HPV) are the cause of educations. The disease can develop in both adults and children.
Treatment has two main directions: removal of papillomas and fight against viral infections (including strengthening the immune system). Various methods can be used to do this, including traditional medicinal recipes. The most effective is a combined approach to treatment, that is, a combination of different 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. They can be treated at home, and the treatment does not incur any 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 aggressive products can cause skin burns and other complications.
- In the course of treatment, contraindications to the use of certain medicinal herbs are often not taken into account, therefore allergic reactions and side effects from the digestive tract can develop.
Therefore, treatment with folk remedies will not allow you to quickly get rid of papillomas. However, with the right approach, home treatment can be effective.
What principles should be considered when choosing therapy:
- Combination of funds for own and third-party use;
- consideration of contraindications for use;
- frequency of use.
In addition, it is recommended not to limit yourself only to the use of folk remedies, since papillomas are unlikely to be cured only with their use. It is much more effective to combine their intake with basic therapy (correction of lifestyle, strengthening immunity), and, if necessary, with drug therapy or surgical removal.
