Helminths belong to the group of organisms of the lowest form of life. They can only exist at the expense of the bodies of their bearers. Most worms not only live in the body, but their presence disrupts 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, it is not recommended to underestimate the effects of helminths and postpone their treatment for later.
It is best to carry out prevention regularly and remove worms in a timely manner when they appear. You can get them out 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. At the same time, it is important to take into account that folk methods are not inferior to medical ones in terms of efficiency.
Second, medical methods for eliminating 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 fighting worms in the human body, offered by traditional medicine.
Pumpkin seeds against parasites
The effectiveness of pumpkin seeds is due to the presence in their composition of a deadly substance for worms called cucurbitin. The most useful is the film between the seed coat and its core. This is where the largest amount of cucurbitin is found. Therefore, you must use the seeds 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 reproduce. Thus, after one or another period of time, they completely leave the body.
It is important to note that pumpkin seeds have three undeniable advantages:
- A 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 beneficial properties in various treatments.
The list of the most effective folk remedies is as follows:
- Pumpkin seeds + honey. Recipe: Peel 300 grams of seeds and grind in a blender or coffee grinder. Then add cold water to the resulting mixture in an amount sufficient to turn the mixture into a slurry, and then add 1 tbsp. l. honey (or more) The whole mixture must 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 grains are not cleaned and lightly fried. 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, but not more than a few tablespoons. After that, leave the porridge to stand for half a day. The medicine 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. Important recommendation: the seeds must be chewed thoroughly. The result will appear within one day. In particularly difficult situations, treatment should be extended for a few days;

After 60 minutes drink a glass of water, and after another 60 minutes drink water again, but now 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 immediately after entering the body. By the way, he 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 contributes to increasing the acidity of the environment in the stomach, which kills protozoa and bacteria, and the second - 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 more or less normally tolerates such a dose of toxins, then a younger patient may experience 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 that contain wormwood in their composition can be used for no more than 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, then mix 1 part wormwood, 2 parts cloves and 4 parts tansy.
The medicine should be taken three times a day, one 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 drug. The list of contraindications is much wider, it includes diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, immunodeficiency conditions, severe poisoning, childhood and old age. Before preparing and consuming triads, it is necessary to talk to a doctor and perform an examination.

They can be used both together and separately.
The recipe for the combined infusion looks like this. Mix a tablespoon of each plant. Then take two tablespoons of the resulting mixture and pour a glass of boiling water, then leave to cook for 60-120 minutes. After you have previously filtered the infusion, you should drink half a glass every day on an empty stomach. Store the infusion only in the refrigerator.

Parasites during pregnancy: treatment with folk remedies
Pumpkin seeds in the treatment of worms in pregnant women is one of the best treatments. First, it is completely safe. Secondly, it is effective. And third, it's pretty versatile. There are many recipes with pumpkin seeds, from which every pregnant woman will find a method to her liking. Here are 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 (acts as a laxative). Some time after that, the worms will leave the body naturally. If necessary, a second course is allowed;

Another good remedy for worms for pregnant women is beetroot juice. It should be drunk 1 tablespoon daily. l. within 7 days. This simple recipe will allow you to completely remove worms from the body in 7 days without damaging either the mother or the fetus.
If you have worms in the watermelon season, we recommend that you try them as well. But here it is important not to overdo it - the abuse of zucchini by pregnant women is not recommended. It can cause stress on the kidneys and edema, which 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:
- Get rid of worms;
- Increases hemoglobin.
It is the second effect that is the main reason why pomegranate juice is leading on the list of recommendations for pregnant women infected with helminths.
The least pleasant, however, undoubtedly, more efficient way is, of course, the enema.
There are three effective enema recipes:
- Finely chop 5 cloves of garlic and add a tablespoon of dried wormwood grass. Pour the mixture with half a liter of boiling water and leave for half an hour. This enema should work for 3 to 5 days;
- Pour two tablespoons of chamomile over a glass of boiling water, then leave for 30 minutes;
- Make an enema on a light soap solution.
It is important to choose the most appropriate option for yourself and be sure to discuss this with your doctor. In this case, you will not feel much discomfort and get the maximum positive effect.
Treatment of parasites in children with folk remedies
Treatment of worms in children, as in the case of pregnant women, requires a delicate approach. Of course, it is necessary to start by taking the child to a consultation with a pediatrician and conduct all the necessary research. Self-medication is strictly forbidden! As harmless as the drug may seem at first glance, it can have an extremely negative effect. Any medicine can be used only with a doctor's approval.
Below we will consider the recipes for the most effective medicines for removing worms in children, which are offered by traditional medicine:
- Peel a medium onion, cut it into small pieces and place in a jar. Pour a glass of boiling water into it and close the lid, and then let it stand for 12 hours at room temperature. The drug should be taken daily 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 cook for 10 minutes, then wrap the dish and leave the product in this form for 3 hours, then strain. It should be taken three times a day in 2 sips. The therapeutic course lasts 14 days;
- Clean the head of garlic and fill it with 250 grams of milk. Cook until the garlic is soft (just a few minutes is enough). Leave to stand for 12 hours, 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.
In summary, it should be noted that folk remedies for the elimination of helminths definitely deserve attention. They are no less effective than medical drugs, but they are much less toxic. However, they cannot be unequivocally recommended. We emphasize that any treatment (both with drugs and the use of traditional medicine) must be agreed with the attending physician. Only then will the therapy bring a 100% positive result.
