Helminths belong to the group of organisms of the lowest form of life. They are able to 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 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 regularly carry out prevention and promptly remove worms when they appear. You can bring them out both with medicines and traditional medicine. The latter have several advantages at once. Firstly, they are much less dangerous, since they do not have 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 ones.
Secondly, medical methods for eliminating helminths have 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 for 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 need to use the seeds along 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. 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 spectrum 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 during 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 a volume sufficient to turn the mixture into gruel, then add 1 tbsp. l. honey (or more)The entire mixture must be eaten within an hour. The procedure should be done in the morning on an empty stomach. 180 minutes after consumption, conduct 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 are 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) to them. You can improve the taste of the product by adding honey there, but not more than a few tablespoons. After that, leave the gruel 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 medication 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.

Troychatka from parasites
As the name implies, 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 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 - an 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 tolerates such a dose of toxins more or less normally, 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 be used for no more than 60 days. Further intake of the drug can provoke 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 to a powder 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 wider, it includes diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, immunodeficiency states, severe poisoning, childhood and old age. Before preparing and consuming the triplets, you should talk with the doctor and undergo an examination.

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. Second, it's efficient. And thirdly, it is 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 thoroughly). After 120 minutes, drink 2 tbsp. l. olive or sunflower oil (it will act as a laxative). Some time 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 evening half an hour before meals;
- Twist 100 grams of pumpkin seeds through a meat grinder (you can grind through a coffee grinder). Add 40-50 ml of water to them 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, pumpkin seeds will definitely not cause harm.
Another good remedy for worms for pregnant women is red beet juice. It should be drunk daily for 1 tbsp. l. 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 in the watermelon season, we recommend trying them too. But here it is important not to overdo it - the abuse of gourds by pregnant women is categorically not recommended. It can provoke 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 this 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, however, undoubtedly, more effective way is, of course, an enema.
There are three effective enema recipes:
- Finely chop 5 garlic cloves 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 it for 30 minutes;
- Make an enema on a light soapy solution.
It is important to choose the most suitable option for yourself and be sure to discuss it with your doctor. In this case, you will not experience 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, you need 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 look, it can have an extremely negative impact. Any drug can be used only with the approval of the attending physician.
Below we will consider the recipes for the most effective remedies for eliminating worms in children, which traditional medicine offers:
- 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, then let it brew for 12 hours at room temperature. You need to take the drug daily in 100 ml. The effect will come after 7 days;

Summing up, it should be noted that folk remedies for the elimination of helminths definitely deserve attention. They are no less effective than medical drugs, but much less toxic. However, they cannot be unequivocally recommended. We emphasize that any treatment (both medication and using traditional medicine) must be agreed with the attending physician. Only then therapy will bring a 100% positive result.
