Helminths belong to the group of organisms of the lowest form of life. They are able to exist only at the expense of the body of their carriers. Most worms not only live in the body, but also disrupt its functioning with their presence. 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, it is not recommended to underestimate the effect of helminths and to postpone their treatment until later.
It is best to perform regular maintenance and remove worms immediately when they appear. You can remove them with both medicines and traditional medicine. The latter have several advantages at once. First, they are much less dangerous because they have no synthetic elements. At the same time, it is important to keep in mind that in terms of effectiveness, folk methods are not inferior to medical ones.
Second, medical methods to eliminate helminths have emerged relatively recently, while traditional medicine has not been used successfully by the first generation. This material will be dedicated to the best means of combating worms in the human body, which traditional medicine offers.
Pumpkin seeds against parasites
The effectiveness of pumpkin seeds is due to the presence in their composition of a deadly substance for worms called cucurbitine. The most useful is the film between the seed coat and its core. Here is the largest amount of cucurbitine. Therefore, you need to use the seeds together with this film.
The mechanism of action of the seeds is paralysis of helminths, due to which they completely lose their ability to move, cling to the walls of the intestinal mucosa and reproduce. Thus, after one period or another, they completely leave the body.
It is important to note that pumpkin seeds have three undeniable advantages:
- Wide range of action, covering 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 seeds retain their useful properties in 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 a volume sufficient to turn the mixture into a slurry, then add 1 tbsp. l. honey (or more) The whole mixture should be eaten within an hour. The procedure should be performed in the morning on an empty stomach. 180 minutes after consumption make an enema or take a laxative to cleanse the body;
- pumpkin seeds + garlic. The composition of garlic includes phytoncides, which also have a negative effect on parasites. In this case, the beans are not cleaned and are lightly fried. The recipe is as follows: you need to grind 200 g of pumpkin seeds in a blender and add to them crushed garlic (about 6 cloves). You can improve the taste of the product by adding honey, but not more than a few tablespoons. Then leave the porridge to infuse for half a day. The drug should be taken one tablespoon on an empty stomach 3 hours before meals. The course of taking this drug 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 should eat only the first part, and after 60 minutes take 1 teaspoon of castor oil. Important recommendation: the seeds should be chewed thoroughly. The result will appear within a day. In particularly difficult situations, treatment should be extended by several days;
- pumpkin seeds + milk. Recipe: pour 200 grams of raw seeds with milk and beat with a blender. As a result, you will get a mess. She will have to have breakfast. After 60 minutes drink a glass of water and after another 60 minutes drink water again, but in the maximum possible amount. After 2, 5 hours take castor oil - it will have a laxative effect.
Triplets of 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 they enter the body. By the way, it is able to effectively eliminate not only worms but also their larvae. Also among the effects of this substance can be attributed to the stimulation of gastric juice secretion and gastrointestinal motility. The first helps to increase the acidity of the environment in the stomach, thus killing protozoa and bacteria, and the second - easier removal of dead helminths. However, such a strong and aggressive action 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 more or less normally such a dose of toxins, then a younger patient may receive severe poisoning;
- Bitter wormwood also has a negative effect on worms and protozoa. The action of the plant is due to its bitterness and tannin properties. It is important to note that products containing wormwood in their composition can be used for no more than 60 days. Further use of the drug may provoke the accumulation of poisoning;
- Cloves have antifungal and antiviral effects.
Triad is prepared according to the following recipe. You need to grind all the ingredients to a powdery state, then mix 1 part bitter wormwood, 2 parts cloves and 4 parts tansy.
The drug should be taken three times a day on one teaspoon half an hour before meals with a glass of water (possibly more, but not less). Troychatka has a small number of side effects associated with the individual body's response to the components of the drug. The list of contraindications is much wider, including diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, immunodeficiency, severe poisoning, childhood and old age. Before preparing and consuming the triad, you should talk to your doctor and have an examination.
Infusions of parasites
Another form of effective antiparasitic drugs is a decoction. There are many recipes for decoctions from:
- yarrow;
- wormwood;
- buckthorn (bark);
- chamomile (flowers);
- immortal;
- oak (bark).
They can be used both together and separately.
The recipe for a combined infusion looks like this. Mix one tablespoon of each herb. Then take two tablespoons of the resulting mixture and pour a glass of boiling water, then simmer for 60-120 minutes. After the infusion is pre-filtered, it should be drunk every day in half a glass on an empty stomach. Store the infusion only in the refrigerator.
The duration of the cleaning course is 20 days. As a preventive measure, it should be done at least once a year.
Then consider preparing the infusion of each of the plants separately:

The duration of the course is up to 14 days;
- yarrow. Recipe: boil a tablespoon of dried yarrow in a glass of boiling water, then insist for 60-120 minutes. The drug should be filtered, then drink in the morning and evening before meals;
- Nettles. Recipe: Pour a tablespoon of dried nettle roots with a glass of cold water. Then the mixture should be placed in a water bath, bring to a boil, then turn off the heat and leave to infuse for several hours. The broth should then be filtered and then water added so that the total volume of liquid reaches one cup. You should use the infusion twice a day on an empty stomach;
- Collection of herbs. Includes mint leaves, tansy flowers, buckthorn bark, wormwood and valerian rhizome. You need to mix one tablespoon of each ingredient and add one and a half tablespoons of wild carrots. Then take two tablespoons of the mixture and add a glass of boiling water.

It is necessary to take this infusion constantly in people with a diseased gastrointestinal tract and in the presence of constipation. In all other cases, the infusion should be taken once every 6 months for prophylactic purposes only.

It should include fresh fruits and vegetables, grains, lean meats and dairy products. Alcohol should be completely eliminated and sugary foods and muffins should be reduced.
It is also important to drink plenty of water. Try to drink up to 2 liters of clean water without gas daily.

It can provoke stress on the kidneys and edema, and this will create difficulties for both the woman and the unborn child. Therefore, you should 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:

Treatment of parasites in children with folk remedies
The treatment of worms in children, as well as in pregnant women, requires a delicate approach. Of course, you should start by taking the child to a pediatrician and conduct all necessary tests.

Below we will look at the recipes for the most effective means of eliminating worms in children, which traditional medicine offers:
