Parasite cleansing is a process aimed at eliminating harmful parasites from the human body. Parasites are organisms that live within a host, often feeding off nutrients intended for the host's body. Common parasites can include tapeworms, roundworms and protozoa which can be contracted through contaminated water, undercooked food, or poor hygiene practices.
A parasite cleanse typically involves a combination of dietary changes, supplements, and sometimes herbal remedies designed to create an environment hostile to parasites. Foods such as garlic, pumpkin seeds, and papaya are often recommended due to their natural antiparasitic properties. Additionally, maintaining proper hygiene and avoiding potential sources of contamination play a critical role in preventing reinfection.
However, it is essential to consult with a healthcare provider before starting any cleanse to ensure it is safe and effective for individual health conditions.
