Papillomas are benign growths that can be localized on any part of the skin and mucous membranes. Different means and methods are used for their removal - medicines, medicinal plants, surgical removal. Treatment of papillomas with folk remedies is more often used for 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 complement them with other treatment methods.
Papillomas: what is it and how to treat it
Papillomas are benign neoplasms that arise as a result of increased proliferation of epithelial cells. They can appear anywhere on the body:
- face - most often near the eyes;
- the neck
- chest, stomach, back;
- lower and upper limbs;
- anogenital zone;
- Mucous membrane of genital organs - walls of vagina and cervix in women, penis in men;
- Mucous membrane of the respiratory tract.
In most cases, papillomaviruses (human papillomavirus, HPV) are the cause of growths. 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 traditional medicine recipes. The most effective is a combined treatment approach, that is, a combination of different methods.
Folk recipes: pros and cons
The use of folk remedies is 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, it will not be possible to cure the disease quickly. But even with long-term treatment, there is no guarantee of success.
- Using aggressive products can cause skin burns and other complications.
- During treatment, contraindications related 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.
Thus, treatment with folk remedies will not allow you to quickly get rid of papillomas. However, with the right approach, home treatments can be effective.
What principles should be followed when choosing therapy:
- combination of funds for internal and external use;
- registration of contraindications for use;
- Frequency of use.
In addition, it is recommended not to limit yourself to the use of folk remedies, because it is unlikely that papillomas can be cured using them alone. It is much more effective to receive them together with basic therapy (correction of lifestyle, strengthening of immunity) and, if necessary, drug therapy or surgical removal.
