Celandine for 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 benign and malignant tumors of the skin, oral mucosa, and genitourinary organs. Human papillomavirus infection poses a particular threat to women and men with genital warts - genital warts that look like cabbage inflorescences or a rooster's comb.
Before removing papillomas with celandine, it is imperative to consult your doctor. The specialist will establish using available examination methods, including PCR, strains of HPV and the level of tumorigenicity of the neoplasms. Based on this, drug therapy will be selected. But for the sake of safety and to eliminate the risk of tissue magnetization, professionals still recommend removing neoplasms caused by infection with the papillomavirus.
Pros and cons of using celandine for 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
Celandine contains the following components:
- vitamin A;
- ascorbic acid;
- saponins;
- essential oils;
- phytoncides;
- organic acids;
- alkaloids with toxic properties.
The greatest vigilance is caused by the presence of chelidonin and its derivatives in celandine. This alkaloid, when consumed in large doses, can cause seizures and paralysis. Most of all chelidonin is found in the stem of the plant. 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.
Celandine is commonly referred to as a warthog for its wart and papilloma removal properties. But it is necessary to apply the plant correctly - to treat only neoplasms and not to touch the surrounding healthy tissues.
Important!Despite its widespread prevalence, celandine for papillomas can only be used if there is no risk of malignant degeneration of neoplasms. Good quality papillomatous growths can be confirmed using laboratory diagnostics and virus typing.
Reviews of celandine from papillomas are different, including negatives. To achieve the expected effect, it is necessary to use the plant during the flowering period. It happens in late spring and early summer. Pharmaceutical drugs for papillomas today have a low concentration. This makes it difficult to completely remove neoplasms, but avoids the risk of burns and other adverse health effects.
How to use celandine for papillomas
For papillomatous growths, you can use ready-made preparations and plant juice. It is worth choosing the appropriate method of treatment after prior consultation with a specialist.
Using celandine juice
Most often, for papillomas, freshly squeezed celandine juice, obtained from a flowering plant, is used. It is necessary to break the stalk and process the neoplasms with the resulting cut. Most of the juice is found in the root zone.
It is recommended to treat papillomatous skin growths with celandine juice 2-4 times a day. The duration of such treatment is usually not more than a month. The papillomas gradually turn black, indicating successful destruction. Under the crust, which falls off on its own, healthy skin is formed. For a while, the shade will differ from adjacent fabrics.
If the juice of fresh celandine seems too concentrated, it can be diluted with glycerin in a 1: 1 ratio. Such a remedy acts softer, 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 papilloma home remedy and has a moderate drying effect on neoplastic tissue. Alcoholic solutions also disinfect the skin well, preventing the addition of secondary infection.
Important!If there are many papillomas and warts on the body, no more than 5-6 neoplasms can be treated at one time.
A sensitivity test is recommended before using celandine for the first time. To do this, apply a small amount of product to the inner surface of the wrist and leave to act for 15 minutes. If at the end of this period no signs of an allergic reaction appear on the skin, celandine can be used to remove papillomatous formations.
Pharmaceutical preparations for papillomas
In today's pharmacy you can buy ready-made products with juice of celandine, alkalis and acids to remove papillomas at home. They help get rid of benign neoplasms without surgery. The opinions of doctors on drugs for papillomas are ambiguous. In most cases, experts recommend not to experiment with local 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
Celandine and alkali local remedies 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 agents cannot completely destroy HPV, but they prevent the pathogen from multiplying further and new neoplasms appearing. Drugs 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 juice of celandine can be dangerous 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 papilloma removal;
- surgical excision of papillomas with a scalpel.
In most cases, it is possible to get rid of benign papillomas using minimally invasive treatment methods. The classic operation is used only with a large size of neoplasms and an increased risk of oncogene.
Laser coagulation, cryodestruction and other minimally invasive techniques do not leave marks on the skin and pose a low risk of recurrence of HPV infection. After the operation, which is performed under local anesthesia and on an outpatient basis, a dark crust forms on the skin, which falls off on its own within a few weeks. During the recovery period, tissues should not be injured or exposed to excessive sunstroke.
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 the collected tissue, minimally invasive operations are most preferable for effectively combating papillomas and warts.
Prevention of papillomas
It is recommended to start prevention of papillomas in 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 avoid accidental intimate contact. When venereal infections appear, treatment begins immediately, since urogenital diseases greatly increase the risk of mucosal damage, reduce local immunity and create conditions conducive to the activation of the papillomavirus.
The relapse of HPV occurs mainly in people with weakened immune systems. A decrease in the body's natural defenses is the main predisposing factor for the development of infection with the human papillomavirus. Strong immunity prevents HPV from actively multiplying and causing tissue hyperplasia. To increase the body's defense against viruses and the action of unfavorable external and internal factors, ready-made immunostimulatory drugs and natural methods, including water hardening, can be used. A spa stay at the sea has a positive effect on local immunity and the general condition of the immune system. A moderate amount of ultraviolet light helps to increase immunity and improve general well-being.
