What should you know about natural cure for polio?

Poliomyelitis is an infection caused by poliovirus. Some infections cause mild illness or no obvious symptoms, while others can affect the nervous system and lead to weakness or paralysis. Herbal products, supplements, fasting, or home mixtures cannot substitute for vaccination, testing, isolation advice, or clinical monitoring. Weakness that develops quickly is an emergency.

Check that children and adults in your household are up to date with recommended childhood immunisation. If there has been possible exposure, contact local health services promptly for instructions about testing, monitoring, and reducing spread. Wash hands carefully after using the toilet and before preparing food. Do not share unverified remedies or delay care while waiting for them to work.

Seek emergency care for sudden weakness, difficulty breathing or swallowing, loss of movement, or severe neck stiffness. Contact a clinician promptly for fever with marked weakness, new limb symptoms, or possible contact with polio. Follow public-health advice even if symptoms seem mild.
