Natural health practitioners also promote other homeopathic treatments to remove parasites from the body. The goal is to choose gentle herbs. This is because some herbal detox supplements may have strong side effects or interact with meds that you may be taking.
This is why you should always consult your doctor before you start a supplemental detox program. Some programs for detox from parasites can last for up to a month. Others may be two weeks on, two weeks off.
A parasitic cleanse diet is also important if you’ve been diagnosed with a parasite. This should be a nutrient-rich diet that will keep the immunity strong while the parasites are being removed from the body.
To reduce the risk of parasitic infections after the cleanse, natural practitioners recommend avoiding raw or undercooked meat and seafood. And, when you’re traveling, make sure you avoid unpurified water, ice, fruits that can’t be peeled, street food, swimming in freshwater, etc.
Not all detoxes and detox supplements are safe and free of side effects. Some of the most common ones are nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, stomach cramps, headaches, nausea, etc.
