Helminths belong to the lowest life form group of organisms. They are able to exist only at the expense of their wielders' bodies. Most worms not only live in the body, but also disrupt its functioning with their presence. Thus, the more types of worms that live in the body and the longer they live in it, the more human health deteriorates. For this reason, it is not recommended to underestimate the influence of helminths and postpone their treatment until later.
It is best to regularly carry out prevention and promptly remove the worms when they appear. You can bring them both with medicines and with traditional medicine. The latter has several advantages at the same time. Firstly, they are much less dangerous as they do not contain synthetic elements. At the same time, it is important to take into account 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 is not 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 for parasites
The effectiveness of pumpkin seeds is due to the presence in their composition of a substance deadly to worms called cucurbitin. The most useful is the film between the seed coat and its nucleus. This is where the greatest amount of cucurbitine is found. Therefore, you need to use the seeds together with this film.
The mechanism of action of seeds is paralysis of helminths, due to which they completely lose the ability to move, cling to the walls of the intestinal mucosa and multiply. So, 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 broad spectrum of action, covering absolutely all types of intestinal helminths;

In addition, the seeds retain their beneficial properties in various treatments.
The list of the most effective folk remedies is as follows:

Troychatka of parasites
As the name implies, the triad is a three-component preparation consisting of tansy, bitter absinthe 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 the stimulation of gastric juice secretion and gastrointestinal motility. The first contributes to an increase in 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 stock 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 this dose of toxins more or less normally, a younger patient can suffer 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 that contain absinthe in their composition can be used for a maximum of 60 days. Further ingestion of the drug can cause accumulation poisoning;
- Clove has an antimycotic and antiviral effect.
Triad is being prepared according to the following recipe. You need to grind all the ingredients into a powdery state, then mix 1 part bitter absinthe, 2 parts clove and 4 parts tansy.

Troychatka has a small number of side effects associated with the individual body's reaction to the drug's components. The list of contraindications is much broader, it includes diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, immunodeficiency states, severe intoxications, childhood and old age. Before preparing and consuming the triad, you should talk to your doctor and have an examination.

They can be used together and separately.
The recipe for a combined infusion goes like this. Mix one tablespoon of each herb. Then take two tablespoons of the resulting mixture and pour a glass of boiling water and let it brew for 60-120 minutes. Having previously filtered the infusion, it must be drunk every day by half a glass on an empty stomach. Store the infusion only in the refrigerator.

Parasites during pregnancy: treatment with folk remedies
Pumpkin seeds in treating worms in pregnant women is one of the best treatments. First, it's totally safe. Second, it's efficient. And thirdly, it's quite versatile. There are many recipes with pumpkin seeds, which every pregnant woman will find a method to try. Let's name the most popular methods:
- In the morning, eat three tablespoons of peeled pumpkin seeds (chew them well). After 120 minutes, drink 2 tbsp. I. olive oil 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 at night half an hour before meals;
- Twist 100 grams of pumpkin seeds in a meat grinder (you can grind it in a coffee grinder). Add 40-50 ml of water to them and mix well to form a paste. It should be consumed 4 times a day, 25 grams for 10 days.
Pumpkin seeds kill worms in most cases, but not always. It turns out that the worms remain. But at least pumpkin seeds will definitely not do any harm.
Another good remedy for worms for pregnant women is red beet juice. It should be drunk daily for 1 tbsp. I. within 7 days. This simple recipe will allow you to completely remove worms from the body in 7 days without harming the mother or fetus.
If you have worms in the watermelon season, we recommend trying them too. But here it is important not to overdo it - abuse of gourds by pregnant women is categorically not recommended. It can cause a load on the kidneys and the occurrence 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 that case, they can also help to get rid of the parasites.
The third option is freshly squeezed pomegranate juice. It has a double effect:
- Kills worms;
- Increases hemoglobin.
It is the second effect that is the main reason why pomegranate juice is the leader in the list of recommendations for pregnant women infected with helminths.
The least pleasant but arguably most effective way is, of course, an enema.
There are three effective enema recipes:
- 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 to 5 days;
- Two tablespoons of chamomile should be poured with a glass of boiling water, then leave for 30 minutes;
- Do an enema in a mild soap solution.
It is important to choose the option that is most suitable for you and be sure to discuss it with your doctor. In this case, you will not feel much discomfort and you will get 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 an appointment with a pediatrician and doing 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 medication can only be used with the approval of the treating physician.
Below we will consider the recipes of the most effective remedies to eliminate worms in children, which traditional medicine offers:
- Peel a medium onion, cut it into small pieces and put it in a jar. Pour a glass of boiling water and close the lid, then let it ferment for 12 hours at room temperature. You need to take the drug 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 boil for 10 minutes, then roll up the pan and leave the product in this form for 3 hours, then strain. You need to take it three times a day, 2 sips. The therapeutic course lasts 14 days;
- Peel the head of garlic and fill with 250 grams of milk. Cook until the garlic is soft (a few minutes is enough). Let it ferment for 12 hours and then strain. The child should receive once a day three tablespoons of this decoction 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 not less effective than drugs, but much less toxic. However, they cannot be unequivocally recommended. We emphasize that any treatment (both medication and the use of traditional medicine) must be agreed with the attending physician. Only then will therapy bring a 100% positive result.
