Papillomas are benign formations that can be localized on any part of the skin and mucous membranes. For their removal, various means and methods are used - 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 supplement other treatment methods with them.
Papillomas: what they are and how to treat them
Papillomas are benign neoplasms that result from increased proliferation of epithelial cells. They can appear anywhere on the body:
- face - most often near the eyes;
- neck;
- chest, stomach, back;
- lower and upper limbs;
- anogenital zone;
- the mucous membrane of the genitals - the walls of the vagina and cervix in women, the penis in men;
- the mucous membrane of the respiratory tract.
In most cases, papillomavirus (human papillomavirus, HPV) is the cause of formations. The disease can develop in both adults and children.
The treatment has two main directions: removal of papillomas and fight against viral infection (including strengthening of the immune system). For this, various methods can be used, including traditional medicinal recipes. The most effective is a combined approach to treatment, that is, a combination of different methods.
Folk recipes: advantages and disadvantages
The use of folk medicine is only 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.
- The use of aggressive products can lead to skin burns and the development of other complications.
- Contraindications to the use of certain medicinal herbs are often not taken into account in the treatment, therefore 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. But with the right approach, home treatment can be effective.
Which principles must be followed when choosing therapy:
- combination of funds for internal and external use;
- statement of contraindications for use;
- frequency of use.
