Helminths belong to the group of lower life forms. They are able to exist only to the detriment of the organism of their carriers. Most worms not only live in the body, but by their presence disrupt its functioning. Accordingly, the more species of worms live in the body, and the longer they live in it, the more human health will deteriorate. For this reason, underestimating the effect of helminths and postponing their treatment for later is highly not recommended.
It is best to perform prophylaxis regularly and remove worms immediately when they appear. You can remove them with both medicine and traditional medicine. The latter have several advantages at once. First, they are much less dangerous, because they do not have synthetic elements. It is important to take into account that folk methods are not inferior to medical ones in their efficiency.
Second, medical methods for removing helminths have emerged relatively recently, while traditional medicine has been used successfully far from the first generation. This material will be dedicated to the best remedies to combat worms in the human body, offered by traditional medicine.
Pumpkin seeds for parasites
The effectiveness of pumpkin seeds is the result of the presence in their composition of a substance that is deadly to worms called cucurbitin. The most useful film is between the seed skin and the nucleus. This is where the largest amount of cucurbitine is found. Therefore, you need to use the seeds along with this film.
The mechanism of action of the seeds is helminth paralysis, due to which they completely lose the ability to move, adhere to the walls of the intestinal mucosa and multiply. Thus, after a certain period of time, they will leave the body completely.
It is important to note that pumpkin seeds have three undeniable advantages:
- Wide range of action, covers absolutely all types of intestinal helminths;
- Versatility. The seeds can be eaten by both adults and children;
- Taste. Eating pumpkin seeds is easy and enjoyable.
In addition, the seed retains its beneficial properties under various treatments.
The list of the most effective folk remedies is as follows:
- Pumpkin seeds + honey. Recipe: Peel and grind 300 grams of seeds in a blender or coffee grinder. Then add cold water to the resulting mixture in an amount sufficient to turn the mixture into a porridge, and then add 1 tbsp. l. honey (as much as possible). The whole mixture should be eaten within an hour. The procedure should be performed in the morning on an empty stomach. After 180 minutes after use, take an enema or laxative to cleanse the body;
- Pumpkin seeds + garlic. Garlic contains phytoncides, which also have a negative effect on parasites. In that case, the grains are not cleaned and fried a little. The recipe is as follows: it is necessary to grind 200 g of pumpkin seeds in a blender and add crushed garlic (about 6 cloves). You can improve the taste of the product by adding honey there, but not more than a few tablespoons. Then leave the porridge to infuse for half a day. The product should be taken on an empty stomach 3 hours before meals. The course of taking this medicine is short - only 4 days;
- Pumpkin seeds + castor oil. Recipe: Take 100 pumpkin seeds and divide them into 4 parts, 25 seeds each. Initially you need to eat only the first part, and after 60 minutes take 1 tsp. Castor oil. Important tip: the seeds must be chewed thoroughly. The result will appear after one day. In particularly difficult situations, treatment should be extended for a few days;

Troichka from parasites
As the name suggests, the triad is a three-component preparation consisting of tansy, bitter wormwood and cloves.
- Tansy contains thujone, a neurotoxin that is fatal to helminths. It kills worms as soon as it enters the body. By the way, it is able to effectively eliminate not only worms, but also their larvae. Also, the effects of this substance include stimulation of gastric juice secretion and gastrointestinal motility. The first helps to increase the acidity of the environment in the stomach, killing protozoa and bacteria, and the second - easier removal of already dead helminths. However, such strong and aggressive action also has a downside. The fact is that thujone has a toxic effect not only on helminths but also on humans. And if an adult tolerates such a dose of toxins more or less normally, then a younger patient may experience severe poisoning;
- Bitter wormwood also has a negative effect on worms and protozoa. The effect of the plant is due to bitterness and tanning. It is important to note that products that contain wormwood in their composition can be used for a maximum of 60 days. Further intake of the drug may cause accumulation poisoning;
- Clove has antifungal and antiviral effects.
The triad is prepared according to the following recipe. You need to grind all the ingredients into a powder and then mix 1 part bitter wormwood, 2 parts cloves and 4 parts tansy.
The tool should be taken three times a day, a teaspoon half an hour before meals, wash with a glass of water (more, but not less). Troichetka has a small number of side effects associated with the body's individual reaction to the components of the drug. The list of contraindications is much wider, it includes gastrointestinal diseases, immunodeficiency conditions, severe poisoning, childhood and old age. Before preparing and consuming the triad, you should talk to your doctor and get tested.

Parasites during pregnancy: treatment with folk remedies
Pumpkin seeds are one of the best treatments against worms in pregnant women. First, it is completely safe. Secondly, it is effective. And third, it’s pretty versatile. There are many recipes from pumpkin seeds in which every pregnant woman will find a method to her liking. Let's name the most popular methods:
- In the morning, eat three tablespoons of peeled pumpkin seeds (be sure to chew them thoroughly). After 120 minutes, drink 2 tbsp. l. olive or sunflower oil (will have a laxative effect). Some time after that, the worms will leave the body naturally. If necessary, a second course is allowed;
- Every day during the week, consume 100 grams of pumpkin seeds in the morning and evening half an hour before meals;
- Twist 100 grams of pumpkin seeds through a meat grinder (you can grind through a coffee grinder). Add 40-50 ml of water and mix thoroughly to obtain a slurry. It should be consumed 4 times a day, 25 grams for 10 days.
Pumpkin seeds in most cases eliminate helminths, but not always. So it happens that the worms stay. But at least pumpkin seeds won’t hurt.
Another good remedy against worms for pregnant women is beetroot juice. You should drink 1 tablespoon daily. l. within 7 days. This simple recipe will allow you to completely remove worms from your body in 7 days without harming your mother or fetus.
If you get worms in the watermelon season, we recommend trying them as well. But here it is important not to overdo it - the abuse of melons and zucchini for pregnant women is strongly discouraged. It can cause a burden on the kidneys and the appearance of edema, and this will create difficulties for both the woman and the unborn child. Therefore, you need to eat watermelons within reasonable limits. In this case, they can also help get rid of parasites.
The third option is freshly squeezed pomegranate juice. It has a double effect:
- Removes worms;
- Increases hemoglobin.
The second effect is the main reason why the juice from the generation is leading on the list of recommendations for pregnant women infected with helminths.
The least pleasant, but undoubtedly more effective method is, of course, the enema.
There are three effective enemas:
- Finely chop 5 cloves of garlic and add a tablespoon of dried wormwood plant. Pour the mixture with half a liter of boiling water and leave to infuse for half an hour. This enema should be done for 3 to 5 days;
- Pour two tablespoons of chamomile over a glass of boiling water, then leave for 30 minutes;
- Give an enema with a light soapy solution.
It is important to choose the most suitable option for yourself and be sure to talk about it with your doctor. In this case, you will not experience great discomfort and you will achieve the maximum positive effect.
Treatment of parasites in children with folk remedies
Treating worms in children, as in the case of pregnant women, requires a delicate approach. Of course, you need to start by taking the child to a consultation with a pediatrician and conducting all the necessary research. Self-medication is strictly forbidden! No matter how harmless the drug may seem at first glance, it can have an extremely negative effect. Any medicine can only be used with a doctor's approval.
Below we will consider the recipes for the most effective drugs to remove worms in children, offered by traditional medicine:
- Peel a medium onion, cut it into small pieces and put it in a jar. Pour a glass of boiling water into it and close the lid, then let it cook for 12 hours at room temperature. You must take the product daily, 100 ml. The effect will occur after 7 days;
- Divide the pomegranate into 2 parts. Mix one of them with a glass of boiling water and boil for 10 minutes, then wrap the pan and leave the product to infuse for 3 hours in this form, then strain. You should take it three times a day, in 2 sips. The therapeutic course lasts 14 days;

In summary, it should be noted that folk remedies for removing helminths definitely deserve attention. They are no less effective than drugs, but they are much less toxic. However, they cannot be unequivocally recommended. We emphasize that any treatment (both drugs and with the use of traditional medicine) must be agreed with the doctor. Only then will the therapy bring a 100% positive result.
