Traditional treatment of cysts can really help and effectively cope with small neoplasms that do not have complications.

A cyst is a cavity whose walls may vary in structure, the cavity usually contains contents of a transparent or viscous consistency, often with pus or blood. A cyst is formed in many organs and ducts of the human body, the mechanism of its formation is varied and depends on many factors - from congenital to pathological, associated with the underlying disease.

Most often, in the early stages of development, cystic formations are unnoticeable and do not manifest themselves, especially for cysts that form inside the body. Symptoms are obvious only in cases of significant enlargement of the cyst, its inflammation, filling with pus. Cysts are often diagnosed by chance, during examinations dedicated to identifying another disease, or during a routine medical examination. If a cyst is diagnosed as large, capable of rupture, or as one that interferes with the functioning of nearby organs, it is removed surgically. There are cysts that must be removed urgently to avoid malignancy - transformation into an oncological disease. Traditional treatment of cysts is indicated and possible if the neoplasm is detected in a timely manner, the cyst is small in size and not filled with purulent contents. Herbal medicine is also effective as an adjuvant treatment in the postoperative period, when it is necessary to speed up the recovery process of the entire body. In order to determine the effectiveness of traditional methods of treatment, it is advisable to do an ultrasound examination before starting to take infusions or decoctions and after the end of the course.

Folk treatment of cysts with celandine

Celandine, which has long been used to treat many serious diseases. It should be noted right away that celandine is a very insidious plant and does not allow frivolous use. It has indeed been used for many centuries, even Avicenna described the healing properties of celandine, and also warned about possible poisoning at too high concentrations. The fact is that the plant contains 24 alkaloids, among which the most dangerous for the body are chelidonine, a morphine-like substance that can lead to convulsions, and sanguinarine. Protopine, which reduces the activity of the autonomic nervous system and contracts the muscles of the uterus, is considered useful when used correctly. The antitumor effect of celandine is associated precisely with the high content of strong alkaloids in it, but it should be remembered that all decoctions and tinctures must be made strictly according to the recipe, without violating the specified dosages. It is advisable to consult with your doctor before taking celandine preparations to avoid complications and basic misunderstandings during complex drug treatment, because celandine is often incompatible with some medications. Folk treatment of cysts should be as safe as possible.

A "gentle" recipe that is suitable for treating all types of cysts, provided that they do not exceed three centimeters in size and do not contain purulent contents. 1 teaspoon of dry celandine is poured with a glass of boiling water and infused for literally one or two minutes, no more. The decoction should have a pale yellow color. It should be filtered. It is necessary to take the decoction prepared in this way for 21 days three times a day 30-40 minutes before meals. This method of preparing celandine is considered safe and helps to neutralize small cysts in the ovaries, liver, and bile ducts. In addition, the use of this remedy will help cleanse the liver of toxins, so do not be afraid of atypical discharge during bowel movements.

A recipe that involves both internal and external use. Wash the stems of young celandine and cut into pieces. The mass of "live" material should be 100 grams. Pour boiled hot water (500 ml) over the celandine stem and put on the fire, wait until it boils and immediately remove the container from the fire. The product is infused for 15-20 minutes, filtered and cooled to room temperature. 200 ml is poured into a separate container for evening douching, if we are talking about an ovarian cyst. The infusion should be taken internally, 50 ml three times a day half an hour before meals. The course of treatment is 10 days, then a week's break and the course is repeated again. Before using this product, you need to check the condition of the cyst to avoid complications. If you have concerns about your body's reaction to celandine, before starting the course you can take a teaspoon of the infusion before meals as a test and observe your condition throughout the day.

A recipe that includes a paradoxical combination of alcohol and milk. You need to wash fresh celandine stems, grind them in a meat grinder, squeeze out the juice. Mix the juice and vodka (alcohol - at least 40 degrees) in equal proportions, for example, a glass of juice per glass of alcohol. Infuse for a week. Take according to the scheme only in the morning on an empty stomach half an hour before meals: 3 drops of infusion in 100 ml of milk, add one drop every day, reach 10 drops, then reduce by one drop and return to three drops per 100 ml of milk 2.

Burdock or burdock

Burdock or common burdock. In fact, this unpretentious plant cannot be called ordinary. The roots of this unique plant are considered especially valuable, containing protein, essential oils, bitterness, tannins, resins, inulin, acids, pectins, B vitamins, vitamins E and D, as well as alkaloids and glycosides. It is arctiin, which is an active glycoside, that is an effective antitumor component. Since folk treatment of cysts is the treatment of neoplasms, that is, benign formations, the use of this glycoside will be appropriate and effective. Burdock recipes are less toxic than celandine remedies, so they can be used independently without fear of complications.

Take fresh burdock roots, wash them, you can add the leaves of the plant. Dry and put aside for 10-12 hours, during this time, deprived of the natural resources of the earth, the roots and leaves activate their healing components, trying to "survive". In the morning, the raw material must be ground and squeezed out the juice, which should be stored in a glass container, covered with a lid in the refrigerator. The juice can spoil quite quickly, so it is better to make a new remedy each time. In the cold, the juice should stand for 3 days, after which it can be taken a tablespoon three times a day half an hour before meals. The course is 21 days, after which you need to take a break for a week and repeat the folk treatment of cysts again. Before the beginning and after the end of the course, you need to do an ultrasound examination.

A remedy made from burdock juice in alcohol. Squeeze the juice from fresh roots and leaves in a volume of 400 ml and combine it with vodka (100 ml). The infusion should stand for at least three days, after which it can be taken in a tablespoon before each meal. You need to drink one liter of the remedy, this will be a full course of treatment with burdock.

Vitamin P, which strengthens the walls of capillaries, caffeine alkaloids, which have an antitumor effect, essential compounds and even proteins - this is not a complete list of the components included in green tea.

Tea is drunk early in the morning in the amount of ¾ of a glass, an hour before lunch and before bed, 2-3 hours after dinner. Honey, which is added to the drink instead of sugar, also has a healing effect on the body, combined with milk and green tea.

In addition, the best way to neutralize cystic formations is considered to be preventive examinations, preferably comprehensive, since cysts can form in various organs, ducts and channels. For prevention, it is recommended to take a herbal collection consisting of birch leaves, elecampane root, mint, licorice root and celandine herb. All herbs should be taken in equal proportions, and celandine twice as little. Two tablespoons of the mixture are poured with 500 ml of boiling water, infused for an hour.
