Helminths belong to the group of organisms of the lowest life form. They can 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 longer the types of worms live in the body and the longer they live there, the worse human health will deteriorate. For this reason, it is not recommended to underestimate the influence of helminths and postpone their treatment.
It is better to do prevention regularly and quickly eliminate worms when they appear. You can get them out with both drugs and traditional medicine. These have several advantages at the same time. First, they are much less dangerous, since 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 at all inferior to medical methods.
Secondly, medical methods for 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 combating worms in the human body, which traditional medicine offers.
Pumpkin seeds against pests
The effectiveness of pumpkin seeds is due to the presence in their composition of a substance that kills worms called cucurbitine. The most useful is the film between the integument and its core. This is where the highest amount of cucurbitine is found. Therefore, you must use the seeds with this film.
The mechanism of action of the seeds is the 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 a period of time or another, they completely leave the body.
It is important to note that pumpkin seeds have three undeniable advantages:
- A wide spectrum of action, covering absolutely all types of intestinal helminths;
- Versatility. The seeds can be eaten by adults and children;
- To 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 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 porridge, then add 1 tbsp. I. honey (or more)The entire mixture should be consumed within an hour. The procedure should be performed in the morning on an empty stomach. 180 minutes after consumption, do an enema or take a laxative to cleanse the body;

The recipe is as follows: you need to grind 200 g of pumpkin seeds in a blender and add crushed garlic (about 6 cloves) to it. You can improve the taste of the product by adding honey to it, but no more than a few tablespoons. After that, leave the porridge to infuse for half a day. The remedy should be taken one tablespoon on an empty stomach 3 hours before meals. The duration of taking this drug is short - only 4 days;

Troychatka from parasites
As its name suggests, the triad is a three-component preparation consisting of tansy, bitter wormwood and cloves.
- Tansy contains thujone, a neurotoxin that kills helminths. It kills worms immediately after entering the body. By the way, he is able to effectively get rid of not only worms, but also their larvae. Among the effects of this substance can also be attributed the stimulation of the secretion of gastric juice 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 - easier removal of already dead helminths. However, such a strong and aggressive action has a negative side. 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 effect of the plant is due to its bitterness and tannic properties. It is important to note that products containing wormwood in their composition can not be used for more than 60 days. Further consumption of the drug can cause accumulation poisoning;
- Clove has an antifungal and antiviral effect.
Triad is prepared according to the following recipe. You need to grind all the ingredients to a powder state, then mix 1 part bitter wormwood, 2 parts cloves and 4 parts 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 wider, it includes diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, immunodeficiency states, severe poisoning, childhood and old age. Before preparing and consuming the triad, you should talk with the doctor and undergo an examination.

They can be used 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 leave to infuse for 60-120 minutes. Having previously filtered the infusion, it should be drunk every day for 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.

Parasites during pregnancy: treatment with folk remedies
Pumpkin seeds in the treatment of worms in pregnant women is one of the best treatments. First of all, it's completely safe. Second, it's efficient. And third, it's pretty versatile. There are many recipes with pumpkin seeds, among which every pregnant woman will find a method to taste. 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. I. olive or sunflower oil (it will act as a laxative). Sometime after that, 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 in a meat grinder (you can grind in a coffee grinder). Add 40-50 ml of water to it and mix thoroughly to form a slurry. It should be consumed 4 times a day, 25 grams for 10 days.
Pumpkin seeds eliminate worms in most cases, but not always. It happens that the worms remain. But, at least the pumpkin seeds certainly won't hurt.
Another good worm remedy for pregnant women is beetroot 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 either the mother or the fetus.
If you have worms during watermelon season, we recommend trying these as well. But here it is important not to overdo it - the abuse of gourds by pregnant women is categorically not recommended. This can cause a load on the kidneys and the appearance of edema, which will create difficulties for the woman and the unborn child. Therefore, you should eat watermelons within reason. In such a case, they can also help get rid of parasites.
The third option is freshly squeezed pomegranate juice. Has a double effect:
- Gets rid of 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 undoubtedly the most effective means 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 3-5 days;
- Two tablespoons of chamomile should be poured with a glass of boiling water, then leave for 30 minutes;
- Make an enema on a slightly soapy solution.
It is important to choose the most appropriate option for you and be sure to discuss it with your doctor. In this case, you will not feel much discomfort and will achieve 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, you need to start by taking the child for a consultation with a pediatrician and doing all the necessary research. Self-medication is strictly prohibited! No matter how harmless the remedy may seem at first glance, it can have an extremely negative impact. Any medication can be used only with the approval of the attending physician.
Below we will consider the recipes of the most effective remedies for eliminating worms in children, offered by traditional medicine:
- Peel a medium onion, cut it into small pieces and place it in a jar. Pour in a glass of boiling water and close the lid, then leave to infuse 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 wrap 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 it with 250 grams of milk. Boil until the garlic is soft (a few minutes is enough). Leave to infuse for 12 hours then filter. The child should be given once a day three tablespoons of this decoction in the morning before meals. The therapeutic course lasts 1 week.
Summing up, it should be noted that folk remedies for the elimination of helminths certainly 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 drug and using traditional medicine) must be agreed with the attending physician. Only then will the therapy bring a 100% positive result.
