Celandine against papillomas is actively used at home to remove warts and papillomas. The main reason for the appearance of such formations is the multiplication of the human papillomavirus (HPV). It can cause the growth of both benign and malignant tumors of the skin, oral mucosa and genitourinary organs. Human papillomavirus infection poses a particular threat for women and men with genital warts - genital warts that look like cabbage inflorescences or cock's comb.
Before carrying out the removal of papillomas with celandine, it is imperative to consult with your doctor. The specialist will establish with the help of available examination methods, including PCR, HPV strains and the level of tumorigenicity. Based on this, drug therapy will be selected. But for safety and to eliminate the risk of tissue magnetization, professionals still recommend removing neoplasms provoked by human papillomavirus infection.
Advantages and disadvantages of using celandine against papillomas
The plant belongs to the poppy family. The shrub has dark green leaves and yellow flowers. Celandine bears fruit several times during the active summer period. The plant is poisonous, therefore it is used with extreme caution and only after prior consultation with the attending physician.
Chemistry of celandine
The celandine contains the following components:
- vitamin A;
- ascorbic acid;
- saponins;
- essential oils;
- phytoncides;
- organic acids;
- alkaloids with poisonous properties.
The greatest alertness is caused by the presence of chelidonine and its derivatives in celandine. This alkaloid, when consumed in high doses, can cause seizures and paralysis. Most of all chelidonin is found in the plant stem. In small doses, the alkaloid has an anesthetic effect.
Basic properties of celandine
Local application of celandine has a complex effect:
- eliminates signs of the inflammatory process;
- reduces pain in the area of papillomas and warts;
- promotes tissue healing;
- destroys viruses and fungi;
- destroys the tissue of benign neoplasms.
People call celandine a warthog for its properties to remove warts and papillomas. But it is necessary to use the plant correctly - to process it only neoplasms and not to touch the healthy surrounding tissues.
Important!Despite its widespread prevalence, celandine for papillomas can be used only if there is no risk of malignant degeneration of neoplasms. It is possible to confirm the good quality of papillomatous outgrowths using laboratory diagnostics and typing of the virus.
Reviews of celandine from papillomas are different, including negative ones. To get the expected effect, it is necessary to use the plant during the flowering period. This happens in late spring and early summer. Pharmacy drugs for papillomas today have a low concentration. This makes it difficult to completely remove neoplasms, but prevents the risk of burns and other adverse health effects.
How can celandine for papillomas be used
For papillomatous outgrowths, you can use ready-made preparations and plant juice. It is worth choosing the appropriate treatment method after prior consultation with a specialist.
Using celandine juice
Most often, for papillomas, freshly squeezed celandine juice, which is obtained from a flowering plant, is used. It is necessary to break off the stem and process the neoplasms with the resulting cut. Most of the juice is in the root area.
It is recommended to treat papillomatous skin outgrowths with celandine juice 2-4 times a day. The duration of such treatment is usually no more than a month. Papillomas gradually turn black, which indicates successful destruction. Under the scab, which falls off on its own, healthy skin forms. For some time it will differ in shade from adjacent fabrics.
If fresh celandine juice seems too concentrated, it can be diluted with glycerin in a 1: 1 ratio. Such a remedy acts milder, prevents the appearance of an inflammatory reaction. A mixture of glycerin and celandine juice in consistency resembles a semi-liquid cream. It can be stored in the refrigerator and used for a long time.
You can also add alcohol or vodka to celandine juice. For 50 ml of alcohol, you need to take 100 ml of plant juice. Alcohol increases the shelf life of the home remedy for papillomas and has a mild drying effect on the neoplasm tissue. Alcohol solutions also disinfect the skin well, preventing the addition of a secondary infection.
Important!If there are many papillomas and warts on the body, no more than 5-6 neoplasms can be treated at a time.
A sensitivity test is recommended before using celandine for the first time. To do this, apply a small amount of the product to the inner surface of the wrist and leave for 15 minutes. If, at the end of this period, signs of an allergic reaction do not appear on the skin, celandine can be used to remove papillomatous formations.
Pharmaceutical preparations for papillomas
In the pharmacy today you can buy ready-made products with celandine juice, alkalis and acids to remove papillomas at home. They help get rid of benign neoplasms without surgery. Reviews of doctors on drugs for papillomas are ambiguous. In most cases, experts recommend not experimenting with topical preparations to reduce papillomamotous growths, especially if the tumors are located on the face and open areas of the body.
A comprehensive approach to treatment
Local remedies based on celandine and alkalis to remove warts and papillomas are recommended to be combined with antiviral therapy. Only in this case can the duration of remission be achieved.
Antiviral drugs cannot completely destroy HPV, but they prevent further multiplication of the pathogen and the appearance of new neoplasms. Medicines for the treatment of human papillomavirus infection should be selected by the attending physician. Special agents suppress the multiplication of HPV and prevent the recurrent course of the disease.
With a large number of papillomas, the use of local preparations with an aggressive composition in the form of alkalis and celandine juice can be hazardous to health. The active course of human papillomavirus infection is an indication for the use of surgical methods of treatment:
- cryodestruction;
- electrocoagulation;
- laser coagulation;
- radio wave removal of papillomas;
- surgical excision of papillomas with a scalpel.
In most cases, it is possible to get rid of benign papillomas using minimally invasive methods of treatment. The classical operation is used only with a large size of neoplasms and an increase in oncogenic risk.
Laser coagulation, cryodestruction and other minimally invasive techniques do not leave marks on the skin and have a low risk of HPV infection recurrence. After the operation, which is performed under local anesthesia and on an outpatient basis, a dark scab forms on the skin, which falls off on its own within a few weeks. During the recovery period, tissue should not be injured or exposed to excessive insolation.
To remove papillomas, two methods are often used - laser coagulation and cryodestruction. If the neoplasms are small and there is no risk of malignancy, which requires additional diagnostics of removed tissues, minimally invasive operations are most preferable to effectively combat papillomas and warts.
Prevention of papillomas
Prevention of papillomas is recommended to start from childhood, protecting the skin and mucous membranes of the child from accidental damage and injury. Particular attention is paid to educational work. Since the greatest danger is posed by anogenital warts and genital warts, it is necessary to prevent accidental intimate contact. When venereal infections appear, treatment begins immediately, because urogenital diseases sharply increase the risk of mucosal damage, reduce local immunity and create conditions conducive to the activation of papillomavirus.
HPV recurrence occurs predominantly in people with weakened immune systems. A decrease in the body's natural defenses is the main predisposing factor for the development of human papillomavirus infection. Strong immunity prevents HPV from actively multiplying and causing tissue hyperplasia. To increase the body's defense against viruses and the action of adverse external and internal factors, you can use both ready-made immunostimulating drugs and natural methods, including hardening with water. A spa stay at the sea has a positive effect on local immunity and the general state of the immune system. A moderate amount of ultraviolet light helps to increase immunity and improve overall well-being.
