Helminths belong to the group of organisms of the lowest life form. They can only exist at the expense of the bodies of their bearers. Most worms not only live in the body, but also disrupt its function with their presence. The more species of worms 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 carry out regular prevention and remove worms as soon as they appear. You can bring them out with both drugs and traditional medicine. The latter have several advantages. Firstly, they are much less dangerous since they do not contain any synthetic elements. At the same time, it is important to consider that folk methods are in no way inferior to medical ones in terms of effectiveness.
Secondly, relatively recently, medical methods of eliminating helminths have appeared, while traditional medicine is not successfully used by the first generation. This material is devoted to the best means of combating worms in the human body that traditional medicine offers.
Pumpkin seeds against parasites
The effectiveness of pumpkin seeds is due to the presence in their composition of a substance deadly 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 along with this film.
The mechanism of action of seeds is paralysis of helminths, as a result of which they completely lose their ability to move, cling to the walls of the intestinal mucosa and multiply. So after one or the other period of time they leave the body completely.
It's important to note that pumpkin seeds have three undeniable benefits:
- A wide spectrum of action, covering absolutely all types of intestinal worms;
- Versatility. The seeds can be eaten by both adults and children;
- Taste. Eating pumpkin seeds is easy and fun.
In addition, the seeds retain their beneficial properties with 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. Next, add cold water to the resulting mixture in an amount sufficient to turn the mixture into mush, and then add 1 tbsp. l. Honey (or more)The entire mixture must be eaten within an hour. The procedure should be carried out in the morning on an empty stomach. Perform an enema or take a laxative 180 minutes after consumption 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 slightly fried. The recipe is as follows: you need 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 there, but no more than a couple of tablespoons. After that, let the porridge steep for half a day. The remedy should be taken 1 tablespoon on an empty stomach 3 hours before meals. Taking this drug is short - only 4 days;
- Pumpkin seeds + castor oil. Recipe. Take 100 pumpkin seeds and divide them into 4 pieces of 25 seeds each. Initially, you only need to eat the first part, and after 60 minutes take 1 teaspoon.

Troychatka from parasites
As the name suggests, the triad is a three-component preparation made from tansy, bitter wormwood and cloves.
- Tansy contains thujone, a neurotoxin that is deadly to helminths. It kills worms immediately after entering the body. By the way, he can effectively eliminate not only worms, but also their larvae. The effects of this substance also include the stimulation of gastric juice secretion and gastrointestinal motility. The first contributes to an increase in 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 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 severe poisoning can occur in a younger patient.
- Bitter wormwood also has a negative effect on worms and protozoa. The effect of the plant is based on 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 can provoke 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 and 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 fine, but not less). Troychatka has a small number of side effects associated with the individual body's response to the components of the remedy. The list of contraindications is much wider and includes diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, immunodeficiency, severe intoxication, childhood and old age. Before preparing and consuming the triad, you should talk to the doctor and undergo an examination.

They can be used both together and separately.
The recipe for a combined infusion looks like this. Mix in a 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. Having previously filtered the infusion, it should be drunk on an empty stomach for half a glass every day. 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 absolutely safe. Second, it's efficient. And third, it is very versatile. There are many recipes with pumpkin seeds, from which every pregnant woman will find a method to try. Let's name the most popular methods:
- Eat three tablespoons of shelled pumpkin seeds in the morning (make sure to chew them thoroughly). After 120 minutes drink 2 tbsp. l. Olive or sunflower oil (it has a laxative effect). Some time later, the worms leave the body naturally. If necessary, a second course is permitted;

Another good remedy for worms for pregnant women is beetroot juice. It should be drunk daily for 1 tbsp. l. within 7 days. With this simple recipe, you can completely get rid of worms from the body in 7 days without harming the mother or the fetus.
If you have worms in watermelon season, we recommend trying them too. But here it is important not to overdo it - abuse of pumpkins by pregnant women is categorically not recommended. It can provoke a load on the kidneys and the appearance of edema, causing difficulties for both the woman and the unborn child. Therefore, you must eat watermelon within reasonable limits. In such a case, they can also help get rid of parasites.
The third option is freshly squeezed pomegranate juice. Has a double effect:
- Eliminates worms;
- Increases hemoglobin.
The second effect is the main reason that pomegranate juice ranks first in the list of recommendations for pregnant women infected with helminths.
The least pleasant, but undoubtedly more effective method is, of course, an enema.
There are three effective enema recipes:
- Finely chop 5 cloves of garlic and add a tablespoon of dried wormwood. Pour half a liter of boiling water into the mixture and let it steep 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, and then left for 30 minutes;
- Make an enema with a light soapy solution.
It is important to choose the option that works best for you and be sure to discuss it with your doctor. In this case, you will not feel much discomfort and will get the maximum positive effect.
Treatment of parasites in children with folk remedies
Treating worms in children, like pregnant women, requires a cautious approach. Of course, the first thing you need to do is go with the child to a pediatrician and do all the necessary research.

Any drug can be used only with the consent of the attending physician.
Below we consider the recipes for the most effective means of eliminating worms in children that traditional medicine offers:
- Peel a medium-sized onion, cut into small pieces and place in a jar. Pour in a glass of boiling water and close the lid, then let it steep at room temperature for 12 hours. You need to take the drug in 100 ml daily. The effect occurs after 7 days;
