“…These techniques aim to kill the parasite and reduce the cyst size without removing it completely. Percutaneous drainage involves inserting a needle or catheter into the cyst and draining the fluid, which can relieve pressure and reduce the risk of rupture 26 . Cyst puncture involves puncturing the cyst with a needle and aspirating the contents, which can also kill the parasite and reduce the size of the cyst.…”

Echinococcus granulosus (E. granulosus) is a parasitic tapeworm that can infect humans and various animal species, causing echinococcosis or hydatid disease. The larval stage of E. granulosus causes this infection and can have serious consequences if left untreated. The larvae hatch in the intermediate host's small intestine and then migrate to the liver or lungs, forming cysts that can grow to several centimeters. Garlic, a plant species scientifically known as Allium Sativum, is used for medicinal purposes due to its various sulfur compounds. This review article aims to critically evaluate the potential of garlic as a natural treatment for echinococcosis, a parasitic disease caused by E. granulosus, based on the available scientific evidence. Garlic have been demonstrated to have antiparasitic effects and can enhance the immune response against E. granulosus. Garlic may inhibit the growth and development of cysts in infected animals and have immunomodulatory effects. Garlic treatment could significantly reduce the number and size of cysts in infected mice. The present review aimed to highlight the potential of garlic as a natural treatment for echinococcosis but emphasized the importance of seeking medical treatment under the guidance of a healthcare professional.
