Helminthiasis is a large group of diseases worldwide. Even more cases of worm infections are not diagnosed because they are asymptomatic. Clinical signs of worm disease do not appear in a small number of parasites, and in the case of their activity in the human body, the symptoms can be "disguised" as other diseases, and the diagnosis of helminthiasis will be significantly difficult.
At the same time, the most important thing for the successful treatment of such diseases is the timely initiation of therapy, as worms in humans are not harmless "coexisting" in the body. Multicellular parasites significantly disrupt life processes: they multiply and penetrate into various organs of the human body, having a negative impact on their work. Worm waste products are poisons and toxins for the human body. In addition to their direct toxic effect, they slow down the penetration of nutrients into the blood that are necessary for life and development.
Traditional medicine is an effective form of alternative therapy, prescriptions for which are passed down from generation to generation to maintain the most effective treatment options. That is why successful methods have survived to this day and are used successfully to treat many diseases, including worms.
The benefits of folk remedies used for worms
Despite the widespread development of pharmaceutical techniques, there is nothing more natural than a folk remedy for worms, which was tested for several generations before reaching us, and has proven its effectiveness.
Among the main advantages of folk remedies are:
- the ability to remove worms with improvised means;
- lack of unnatural exposure to chemicals;
- relative health safety;
- minimal risk of allergic reactions;
- natural ingredients do not contain additives that can have a negative effect on the body;
- the absence of counterfeits and other risks of poor quality production of anti-worm pharmaceuticals;
- accessibility for everyone - most recipes for folk remedies can be repeated at home from the ingredients that everyone has in the kitchen;
- all medicinal herbs can be purchased at a pharmacy or phytopharmacy without a prescription - this saves a lot of time and effort.
It should also be remembered that alternative medicine is a combination of the forces of man and nature, therefore, such treatment will not only effectively get rid of worms, but also give strength and energy to the body.
Preparation for treatment with time-tested worm remedies
Despite the safety of traditional medicine, you must undergo a number of procedures before starting treatment. This will help improve the effectiveness of worm removal methods.
Above all, it is important to make a correct diagnosis. It is advisable not only to confirm the presence of helminthiasis, but also to determine the specific type of worms. Most natural remedies are universal against flatworms and roundworms, but some of the methods differ in their specific action. It is important to pass the appropriate stool or blood tests to establish an accurate diagnosis, as well as to monitor the outcome of treatment: a repeat test should be negative in case of successful anthelmintic therapy with folk remedies.
In addition, the body must be prepared for the course of treatment: clean it as much as possible of toxic metabolic products before getting rid of worms. You need to give up fatty, salty and sweet foods, adhere to a hypoallergenic and therapeutic diet, which will reduce the load on the immune system.
You should also protect yourself and consult a specialist in advance. Only a doctor will be able to determine the absence of contraindications for the treatment of worms in a specific way, as he will take into account all the diseases and peculiarities of the human body. After thorough preparation for therapy and permission from the doctor, you can begin to practice the chosen method of alternative medicine.
Herbs and spices with which you can remove worms
Herbal remedies for various worms remain one of the most popular groups of drugs in alternative medicine. Medicinal herbs served as the main treatment for all diseases in all countries of the world even before the development of the pharmaceutical industry.
Most of the modern pharmaceuticals for treating parasites are made from herbs. They are the basis of the active substance in tablets and other dosage forms. However, in the process of chemical treatment some of the beneficial properties of herbal medicines are lost, therefore the effectiveness of medicinal herbs to combat industrial worms is much less than natural medicines.
Herbal infusions and decoctions
The infusions are prepared by adding hot or cold water to the medicinal plant, followed by the preparation time. The period of "infusion" is determined by the properties of the plant. It is important to strictly follow the recipe so that the infusion really has the indicated healing properties.
In the process of preparing decoctions for worms, you need to bring the solution to a boil, boil the herb on low heat for some time so that the agent reveals its therapeutic properties.
Among the anthelmintic herbs for the preparation of infusions and decoctions for the infected person are most often used tansy, wormwood, cloves, wild garlic, dandelion, geranium, centenarian and combined herbal preparations.
tansy
Representatives of this genus perennial herbaceous plants and shrubs have long been used for medicinal purposes.

Stimulates the production of gastric juices, bile and pancreatic secretions.
The recipe for the decoction is as follows: it is necessary to grind the dried plant in a coffee grinder, then pour 2 teaspoons of dry matter with 1, 5 cups of boiling water. The resulting product should be left in a thermos or covered with a towel and after 6-8 hours strain the infusion.
The decoction to combat worms should be divided into three parts and drunk in the morning before meals for an hour and a half. The procedure should be repeated every morning for 2-3 weeks, depending on the severity of helminthiasis, to completely remove the worms.
Clove
The spice, which is often used in various recipes, is highly valued for its versatile healing effects. Dried cloves are used to remove toxins, to stimulate the gastrointestinal tract and to normalize digestive processes. In addition to the beneficial gastroenterological action, cloves-based preparations have a pronounced immunomodulatory effect, activating non-specific immune defense mechanisms. The use of cloves infusion is effective against worms. In addition, it normalizes the work of all organs of the gastrointestinal tract.
To prepare a remedy for most worms, 30 g of buds are flooded with boiling water in a volume of 0, 5 liters and allowed to cool completely.

Some recipes suggest that cloves should be infused with alcohol. To do this, pour 30 g of buds with 0, 5 liters of vodka or pure alcohol, then leave the solution in a dark place for several weeks. The scheme of anthelmintic therapy with an alcoholic solution of cloves for humans consists in taking one teaspoon of tincture before meals for several weeks.
Also, dried cloves to combat worms can be crushed and taken dry according to the following scheme: on the first day - 0, 5 g after a meal, then add 0, 5 g every day. The duration of treatment is 6 days.
Ramson
The plant known as "bear onion" increases appetite, increases the secretion of gastrointestinal glands, improves intestinal motility. Even in ancient Greece, wild garlic was used successfully against worms, as well as bactericidal and antifungal agents. You can find a ready-made dry open base of this plant to get rid of worms quickly.
Dandelion

The recipe takes the following proportions: pour 1 teaspoon of dry stems with a glass of boiling water, leave for an hour and strain. Phytopreparation is taken in a quarter cup 4 times a day 30 minutes before meals.
Drying crushed dandelion root makes it an excellent alternative to anti-worm pharmaceuticals at any time of the year. Dandelion root powder should be taken in a pinch three times a week, half an hour before meals. It is important to drink plenty of water.
Pelargonium
This plant is used in gastroenterology for the treatment of intestinal disorders, ulcers of the gastric and intestinal mucosa and other gastrointestinal diseases. Pelargonium has also been shown to be effective against various types of worms in humans, especially pinworms and roundworms.
Centenarian
The plant quickly helps to get rid of all kinds of parasites. It is also used to treat various types of cholecystitis, chronic gastritis and ulcerative defects in the gastrointestinal mucosa. Thus, such a drug will be an excellent alternative to most pharmaceutical products for complex pathology of the gastrointestinal tract.
Combined herbal preparations
Natural preparations of several herbs are also used for parasitosis. They provide a complex effect and allow you to quickly get rid of parasites. For example, such a collection may include a combination of tansy, wormwood and chamomile. Each of these components fights worms, which provides a powerful triple effect of the drug. Chamomile further soothes inflammation, promotes rapid recovery of the human gastrointestinal tract after infection with worms.
The recipe for the infusion is simple: 1 tablespoon of the dried collection should be poured into a glass of boiling water and then left overnight to cool and settle. In the morning you can start treatment: you need to drink 1 cup of the drug, then prepare the next portion for the evening. The duration of such treatment of worms is 3 days.
Garlic and onions will help eliminate worms
These plants belong to the same species and therefore have a similar effect on various diseases, including worm infections. Onions and garlic contain phytoncides - active substances that have fungicidal, antimalarial, antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory action.
The amino acid alliin, which is converted to allicin in the process of biochemical reactions, has been found in garlic. It is this substance that has a powerful bactericidal and antifungal effect, and also cures worms. These and many other beneficial effects of garlic have long been used in alternative medicine in various eras, dating back to ancient Egypt.
Garlic is used in several variants, depending on the type of helminthiasis and its severity. For example, garlic can be used internally - just eat a few cloves. Experts recommend adding garlic to all dishes. You can safely eat up to 6 cloves of garlic a day. This dose will only bring health benefits.
Decoction of garlic in milk is the second version of the drug composition, which is effective in combating worms. To prepare it, pour 3-4 cloves of garlic with a glass of milk, then bring to a boil and cook for about 20 minutes. The resulting broth is cooled and filtered through a sieve or cheesecloth. Drinking such a worm medicine is necessary daily.
The second option for using garlic broth in milk is a healing enema. To treat a worm infection, a whole head of garlic is added to a glass of milk, then boiled until soft and filtered. The cooled solution is used as a medicine for microenemas. The procedure is performed daily for 7 days.
It is important to ensure that the product is not heat-treated before it is used for medical purposes, as allicin is only active when raw garlic is consumed.
You can also get rid of worms at home with the help of preparations based on ordinary onions. The active components of onion broths will help to quickly remove the worms at the stage of eggs and adult worms and their waste products.
One of the simplest recipes is to cut 1 onion and pour boiling water over it, then let it simmer for a day. Then the drug against worm infection is filtered and taken in a dose of 0, 5 cups in the morning on an empty stomach for 3-4 days.
For the second recipe, 1 onion should be finely chopped and placed in a thermos, pour boiling water for at least 2 hours. The drug for worms should be consumed in the morning on an empty stomach, 0, 5 cups for 10 days. The intake of onion infusion can be combined with a spoonful of honey, which compensates for the special taste of onions.
pumpkin
Pumpkin seeds have many useful properties, have a beneficial effect on the work of the gastrointestinal tract and gallbladder. Pumpkin seeds contain a rare amino acid (cucurbitin), which provides anthelmintic action. This compound has a paralytic effect on adult helminths, leading to complete cessation of their vital activity.
For the treatment of an adult is enough to take 300 g of seeds, grind them in a coffee grinder, add a tablespoon of honey and 50 ml of water. The resulting mixture is taken on an empty stomach in the morning in portions - 1 teaspoon per hour, and after 30-60 minutes make a cleansing enema against worms.
A better version of the anthelmintic based on pumpkin is a dessert of pumpkin seeds. To remove worms, the seeds should be moistened with salted water and then fried on low heat with the addition of vegetable oil and salt.
It is necessary to adhere to the specified dosage. Excessive intake of even herbal medicines in the fight against worms can harm the body. The preparation of pumpkin seeds is taken in the morning on an empty stomach.
Other folk anthelmintics
If worms are found, other treatments are used: fruit trees, papaya seeds, pineapples, bananas and many more. Let's look at them in more detail.
Tree fruits
The fruits of various fruit and berry trees have anthelmintic action. For example, pear seeds have a mild effect against the main human parasites, so it is recommended to eat the pear together with the seeds, chewing thoroughly for maximum absorption.
Papaya seeds
Papaya seeds are an exotic analogue of pear fruit. This way to get rid of worms is not very common due to the rarity of this plant. However, papaya contains carpain, sitosterol, carcine and other biologically active substances. These chemicals allow the body to recover as quickly as possible after a course of anthelmintic therapy (normalizes the digestive tract). Worm seeds can be digested or eaten whole. The choice depends only on the preferences of patients.
Pineapple
Another exotic anthelmintic agent is pineapple. It contains the natural component bromelain, which effectively fights the release of free radicals from tapeworm. Also, natural pineapple acid interferes with glucose metabolism - the main source of energy for worms.
Forest fruits
Various berries also have a powerful effect on worms.
For example, strawberries are recommended for anyone with gastritis with low acidity. These fruits can simply be added to your usual diet: they will benefit the gastrointestinal tract, liver function, normalize stool, help treat urolithiasis, and also help get rid of parasites. Strawberries have proven their effectiveness against roundworms, tapeworms, pinworms.
Cherries, due to the large amount of organic acids in their composition, are effective in removing worms. The number of fruits per day in the treatment of worms is not strictly limited, but it is better not to eat more than 1 cup, so as not to provoke the development of gastrointestinal diseases.
Also, cherry stalks are used for the preparation of medicinal compositions. They become the best remedy against worms. Grind them, weigh 1 teaspoon, boil with boiling water and leave to infuse for at least 30 minutes. Then you can start drinking the infusion to combat worms.
It is recommended to consume 0, 5 cups in the morning before breakfast and in the evening. It is sometimes recommended to divide the daily dose into 4 doses. The course of treatment is usually 7 days, after which you need a break for 1 week and repeated use of the drug for all worms within 7 days. Such a phytopreparation not only promotes the elimination of worms, but also has a tonic effect on the stomach, stimulates appetite and improves digestive processes.
Raw rice
Raw rice is also effective against worms. Take 1 handful of raw rice and chew it thoroughly for a long time. This manipulation should be repeated within a week.
Herring
When used properly, herring becomes an anthelmintic, so it is often used at home. For therapeutic effect you should eat as much herring in the evening and in the morning to supplement the effect with the use of 50 g of pumpkin seeds.
Honey
Another recipe for anthelmintics involves treatment with honey. To do this, mix one tablespoon of the product with a glass of hot water, then allow to cool to warm.
They drink such a solution for worms on an empty stomach - 1 time a day in the morning before breakfast. For maximum effect in the fight against worms, experts advise after 20 minutes to drink a glass of wormwood infusion, and then after 30 minutes to make a cleansing enema.
Peanut butter
Oils from walnuts, macadamia nuts and other plant components have a choleretic effect, remove various toxins from the intestine, including disrupting the vital activity of worms in the human body.
Herbal enemas
Worm enemas have long been recognized as the best way to cleanse the intestines, as well as a quick healing effect.
Enemas use the same herbal preparations as infusions, but the proportions in the recipes may differ. For example, to prepare a useful infusion for worms, dried tansy inflorescences should be poured with boiling water in the following proportions: 1 teaspoon of herbs in half a glass of water. After 3 hours of infusion, the solution can be filtered and used as an enema, heated in a water bath. The infusion is injected into the rectum at night. The term of treatment of worms is 7 days.
Rules for applying enemas with phytopreparations:
- Many techniques include the prior use of cleansing enemas. This tool is needed to cleanse the intestines well and prepare the gastrointestinal tract for the effects of therapeutic enema from worms.
- It is necessary to carefully filter the agent and make sure that no plant particles remain in the solution. Under the pressure of an enema, small remnants of the stem or inflorescences can enter the intestine, causing irritation of the mucosa or even disruption of its integrity.
- It is important that the enema solution is warm and corresponds to body temperature - about 36-37 degrees. This will provide a mild effect of traditional medicine on the intestinal mucosa and maximum therapeutic effect: the beneficial properties of herbs are "revealed" better at this temperature.
- The number of sessions of healing enemas is determined individually, depending on the degree of infection with worms and the type of worms.
The advantage of the enema is that with this method of administration the drug has no adverse effect on the gastric mucosa, liver and kidneys. Acting locally, an enema for the treatment of worms promotes the rapid onset of therapeutic effect and ensures the absence of generalized side effects.
Prevention with folk remedies
Traditional medicine is effective not only for treating worm infections, but also for preventing worms from entering the body. To do this, it is important to adhere to a healthy diet, periodically adding to the diet any herbal medicines with proven effectiveness as a preventive measure against most worms.
These foods include high-fiber vegetables such as cabbage, pumpkin, squash, cucumbers, as well as onions and garlic. Every day it is recommended for everyone to add greens to dishes - dill, parsley, green onions. Raw pumpkin seeds are a great way to prevent worms if consumed daily on an empty stomach, chewing the seeds thoroughly. Fresh carrot juice also protects against parasitic diseases. You can also grate the root vegetables and add sour cream or vegetable oil.
It has been shown that the appearance of worms can be prevented if all precautions are carefully followed:
- wash your hands thoroughly after returning from the street and using the toilet;
- always wash vegetables and fruits before eating;
- heat-treat all types of meat and fish;
- be careful with dishes containing raw fish;
- make individual meals for each person (in the family, at work);
- it is imperative to treat worm animals prophylactically in order to prevent the development of worm infections in them and the transmission of parasites to humans;
- do not swim in unfamiliar bodies of water where the safety of the water has not been proven;
- keep the house clean, follow the hygiene of pets;
- refuse natural fertilizers of unknown origin during gardening.
In order for the treatment to be effective, it is necessary to follow the basic rules for taking anthelmintic drugs from traditional medicine, to observe the indicated doses and to carefully monitor the dynamics of the disease.
It is also important to treat worms with the whole family at the same time. This will make it possible to completely save all loved ones from an unpleasant disease. There is nothing wrong with helminthiasis in adults: you just need to take a comprehensive approach to solving the problem and in the future to take all measures to prevent infection with parasites.
