There are many ways to get rid of worms. Pharmacological drugs are very effective, but they are very toxic and therefore cause significant harm to the body. Alternatively, you can use traditional methods. The most effective, simple and safe product against worms is pumpkin seeds. They have pronounced anthelmintic properties, contain many useful components and have a general strengthening effect.
The benefits of pumpkin seeds
Pumpkin seeds- extremely useful product. They have a detrimental effect on helminths due to the content of cucurbitin. In different varieties of plants, its concentration is 0. 1–0. 3%. This amino acid is a real poison for worms. At the same time, it is absolutely safe for the human body.
In terms of anthelmintic properties, pumpkin seeds are second only to products prepared on the basis of male fern. But the use of the latter is undesirable, since the use of fern leads to serious side effects and has many contraindications. It turns out that pumpkin seeds are the most effective and safe anthelmintic plant.
In addition to cucurbitin, pumpkin seeds contain many vitamins and trace elements. They enrich the body with vitamins B, E, PP, ascorbic acid, potassium and calcium salts, as well as phosphorus and fill the deficiency of iron and magnesium. This helps restore the normal functioning of the body that has suffered as a result of worm infestation.
Pumpkin seeds are indispensable in the process of anthelmintic therapy, as the oils they contain purify the body. They remove toxins accumulated in the body as a result of the activity of helminths. This is extremely important for restoring immunity.
Pumpkin seeds have a choleretic and laxative effect. This promotes rapid elimination of the worms and ensures that they do not begin to decompose in the body.
To get the most benefit from pumpkin seeds, you should use the unrefined product for treatment. It is necessary to peel immediately before use or preparation of medicines. The fatty oils contained in the grains are quickly oxidized in the air, which leads to the loss of healing properties.
What parasites will pumpkin help with?
The cucurbitin contained in the seeds destroys all types of parasites: from a millimeter to a meter. When it enters the body of worms, they lose their ability to actively move and attach to the walls of the intestines and other organs. As a result, helminths are paralyzed and quickly eliminated from the body.
Pumpkin seeds will help you get rid of:
- roundworms (nematodes) - pinworms, whipworms, roundworms, trichinella;
- tapeworms (cestodes) - beef and pork tapeworms, tapeworms;
- flukes (trematodes) – Siberian fluke, giardia, liver fluke.
In order for pumpkin seeds to be as effective as possible against parasites, you need to use them correctly. The largest amount of cucurbitin, a poison for parasites, is contained not in the core itself, but in the film adjacent to the bark.
This is another reason why seeds with shells should not be purchased for anthelmintic recipes.

After 2 weeks, re-analysis showed the absence of worms.
