Helminths belong to the group of organisms of the lowest life form. They can exist only at the expense of the body of their bearers. Most worms not only live in the body, but also disrupt its functioning with their presence. As a result, the more types 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 influence of helminths and postpone their treatment until later.
It is best to carry out prevention regularly and promptly remove worms when they appear. You can get them out with both medicine and traditional medicine. The latter have several advantages at the same time. First, they are much less dangerous, as they have no synthetic elements. At the same time, it is important to take into account that in terms of effectiveness, folk methods are in no way inferior to medical ones.
Secondly, medical methods of eliminating helminths appeared relatively recently, while traditional medicine is not successfully used by the first generation. This material will be devoted to the best means of fighting worms in the human body, offered by traditional medicine.
Pumpkin seeds for pests
The effectiveness of pumpkin seeds is due to the presence in their composition of a substance deadly for worms called cucurbit. The most useful is the film between the mantle of the seed and its core. This is where the greatest amount of cucurbit is found. Therefore, it is necessary to use the seeds together with this film.
The mechanism of action of seeds is helminth paralysis, due to which they completely lose the ability to move, cling to the walls of the intestinal mucosa and multiply. Therefore, after one or another period of time, they completely leave the body.
It is important to note that pumpkin seeds have three undeniable benefits:
- A broad spectrum of action, which covers absolutely all types of intestinal helminths;
- Versatility. The seeds can be eaten by both adults and children;
- Taste. Eating pumpkin seeds is fun and easy.
In addition, the seeds retain their beneficial 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. Next, add cold water to the resulting mixture in sufficient volume to turn the mixture into gruel, then add 1 tbsp. L. honey (or more) The entire mixture should be consumed within an hour. The procedure should be done in the morning on an empty stomach. 180 minutes after consumption, take 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 grains are not cleaned and lightly fried. The recipe is as follows: you need to grind 200 g of pumpkin seeds in a blender and add crushed garlic to them (about 6 cloves). You can improve the taste of the product by adding honey there, but no more than a few tablespoons. After that, leave the baby food to infuse for half a day. The remedy 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 need to eat only the first part, and after 60 minutes, take 1 tsp. castor oil.

After 60 minutes, drink a glass of water and, after another 60 minutes, drink water again, but now in the maximum amount possible. After 2, 5 hours, take castor oil - it will have a laxative effect.
Troychatka 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. Kills worms immediately after entering the body. By the way, it is able to effectively eliminate not only worms, but also their larvae. Furthermore, among the effects of this substance it can be attributed to the stimulation of the secretion of gastric juice and gastrointestinal motility. The first helps to increase the acidity of the environment in the stomach, thereby killing protozoa and bacteria, and the second - an easier removal of already 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 such a dose of toxins more or less normally, a younger patient can experience severe poisoning;
- Bitter wormwood also has a negative effect on worms and protozoa. The effect of the plant is due to its bitterness and tannic properties. It is important to note that products containing absinthe in their composition can be used for no more than 60 days. Further intake of the drug can provoke accumulation poisoning;
- Clove has an antifungal and antiviral effect.
The triad is prepared according to the following recipe. You need to grind all the ingredients to a powdered state, then mix 1 part of bitter wormwood, 2 parts of cloves and 4 parts of tansy.
The remedy should be taken three times a day in a teaspoon half an hour before meals with a glass of water (more is possible, but not less). Troychatka has a small number of side effects associated with the individual reaction of the body to the components of the remedy. The list of contraindications is much broader, it includes diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, immunodeficiency states, severe poisoning, childhood and old age. Before preparing and consuming the triad, you should speak to your doctor and undergo an examination.

Another form of effective anti-parasite drugs is a decoction. There are many recipes for decoctions from:
- yarrow;

- sea 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. Next, take two tablespoons of the resulting mixture and pour a glass of boiling water, then let it brew for 60-120 minutes. After having previously filtered the infusion, it should be drunk every day for half a glass on an empty stomach. Keep the infusion only in the refrigerator.
The duration of the cleaning course is 20 days. As a preventative measure, it should be done at least once a year.
So, consider the preparation of the infusion of each of the plants separately:

It is also important to drink plenty of water. Try to drink up to 2 liters of pure, non-gas water per day.
Parasites during pregnancy: treatment with folk remedies
Pumpkin seeds in the treatment of worms in pregnant women are one of the best treatments. First, it is completely safe. Second, it is efficient. And thirdly, it's quite versatile. There are many recipes with pumpkin seeds, from which every pregnant woman will find a method to taste. Let's name the most popular methods:
- In the morning, eat three tablespoons of peeled pumpkin seeds (be sure to chew them well). After 120 minutes, drink 2 tbsp. L. olive or sunflower oil (will act as a laxative). Some time later, the worms will leave the body naturally. If necessary, a second course is allowed;
- Every day for a week, consume 100 grams of pumpkin seeds in the morning and in the evening half an hour before meals;
- Twist 100 grams of pumpkin seeds with a meat grinder (you can grind with a coffee grinder). Add 40-50 ml of water and mix thoroughly until a slurry is formed. It should be consumed 4 times a day, 25 grams for 10 days.
Pumpkin seeds kill worms in most cases, but not always. It happens that the worms remain. But, at least, pumpkin seeds will definitely not cause harm.
Another good worm remedy for pregnant women is beetroot juice. It should be drunk daily for 1 tbsp. L. within 7 days. This simple recipe will allow you to completely remove the worms from the body in 7 days without harming either the mother or the fetus.
If you have worms in watermelon season, we recommend that you try them too. But here it is important not to overdo it: the abuse of pumpkins by pregnant women is categorically not recommended. It can provoke a load on the kidneys and the onset of edema, and this will create difficulties for both the woman and the unborn child. Therefore, it is necessary to eat watermelons within reasonable limits. If so, they can also help get rid of the parasites.
The third option is freshly squeezed pomegranate juice. It has a double effect:
- It gets rid of the worms;
- Increase hemoglobin.
It is the second effect which is the main reason why pomegranate juice is the leader in the list of recommendations for helminth infected pregnant women.
The least pleasant, however, undoubtedly, most effective way is, of course, an enema.
There are three effective recipes for the enema:
- Finely chop 5 cloves of garlic and add a tablespoon of dried wormwood herb. Pour the mixture with half a liter of boiling water and leave to infuse for half an hour. This enema should be done for 3-5 days;
- Pour two tablespoons of chamomile with a glass of boiling water, then leave it for 30 minutes;
- Do an enema with a mild soapy solution.
It is important to choose the option that suits you best, and be sure to discuss this with your doctor. In this case, you will not experience much discomfort and will achieve the maximum positive effect.
Treatment of parasites in children with folk remedies
The treatment of worms in children, as in the case of pregnant women, requires a gentle approach. Of course, it is necessary to start by taking the child for a consultation with a pediatrician and conducting all the necessary research. Self-medication is strictly prohibited! No matter how harmless at first glance the remedy may seem, it can have an extremely negative impact. Any drug can only be used with the approval of the attending physician.
Below we will consider the recipes for the most effective remedies for eliminating worms in children, offered by traditional medicine:
- Peel a medium onion, cut it into small pieces and put it in a jar. Pour in a glass of boiling water and close the lid, then let it brew for 12 hours at room temperature. You need to take the drug every day in 100 ml. The effect will come 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 in this form for 3 hours, then drain. You need to take it three times a day, 2 sips. The therapeutic path lasts 14 days;
- Peel the garlic head and fill it with 250 grams of milk. Boil until the garlic is soft (just a few minutes). Let it brew for 12 hours and then strain. The child should be given three tablespoons of this decoction once a day in the morning before meals. The therapeutic course lasts 1 week.
Summing up, it should be noted that folk remedies for eliminating helminths definitely deserve attention. They are no less effective than drugs, but much less toxic. However, they cannot be unequivocally recommended. We emphasize that any treatment (both pharmacological and using traditional medicine) must be agreed with the attending physician. Only then will the therapy bring a 100% positive result.
