Helminths belong to the group of lower life forms. They are able to exist only at the expense of the organism of their carriers. Most of the worms not only live in the body, but also disrupt its functioning with their presence. Accordingly, the more species of worms live in the body and the longer they live in it, the more human health will deteriorate. For this reason, underestimating the effect of helminths and postponing their treatment for later is strongly discouraged.
It is best to perform regular maintenance and remove worms immediately when they occur. You can remove them both with drugs and through traditional medicine. The latter have several advantages at once. First, they are much less dangerous because they have no synthetic elements. It is important to take into account that folk methods are not inferior to medical methods at all.
Second, medical methods to eliminate helminths have emerged relatively recently, while traditional medicine has been used successfully far from the first generation. This material will be dedicated to the best means of combating worms in the human body, which offers traditional medicine.
Pumpkin seeds for parasites
The effectiveness of pumpkin seeds is due to the presence in their composition of a substance that is deadly to worms, called cucurbitine. The most useful is the film between the seed coat and its nut. The largest amount of cucurbitin is found here. Therefore, you must use the seeds together with this film.
The mechanism of action of the seeds is paralysis of helminths, due to which they completely lose their ability to move, adhere to the walls of the intestinal mucosa and reproduce. Thus, after a certain period of time, they will completely leave the body.
It is important to note that pumpkin seeds have three indisputable advantages:
- Wide range 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 useful 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. Then add cold water to the resulting mixture in a volume sufficient to turn the mixture into a slurry, then add 1 tbsp. l. honey (as much as possible). The whole mixture should be eaten within an hour. The procedure should be performed in the morning on an empty stomach. After 180 minutes after use, take an enema or take a laxative to cleanse the body;
- Pumpkin seeds + garlic. Garlic contains phytoncides, which also have a negative effect on parasites. In this case, the beans are not cleaned and fried a little. The recipe is as follows: you need to grind 200 g of pumpkin seeds in a blender and add crushed garlic to them (about 6 cloves). You can improve the taste of the product by adding honey there, but not more than a few spoons. Then leave the porridge to infuse for half a day. The product should be taken one tablespoon on an empty stomach 3 hours before meals. The course of taking this drug 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 should eat only the first part and after 60 minutes take 1 tsp castor oil. Important tip: the seeds must be chewed thoroughly. The result will appear in a day. In particularly difficult situations, treatment should be extended by a few days;
- Pumpkin seeds + milk. Recipe: Pour 200 grams of raw seeds with milk and beat with a blender. As a result, you will get a mess. She will have to have breakfast. After 60 minutes, drink a mug of water and after another 60 minutes drink water again, but now as much as possible. After 2, 5 hours take castor oil - it will have a laxative effect.
A trio of parasites
As the name suggests, 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 as soon as it enters the body. By the way, it is able to effectively eliminate not only worms but also their larvae. Also, the effects of this substance include stimulating the secretion of gastric juice and gastrointestinal motility. The first helps to increase the acidity of the environment in the stomach, thus killing protozoa and bacteria, and the second - easier removal of already dead helminths. However, such a strong and aggressive action also 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 get severe poisoning;
- Bitter wormwood also has a negative effect on worms and protozoa. The effect of the plant is due to its bitterness and tanning. It is important to note that products containing wormwood in its composition can be used no more than 60 days. Further administration of the drug may provoke the accumulation of poisoning;
- Cloves have antifungal and antiviral effects.
Prepare a triad according to the following recipe. You need to grind all the ingredients into a powder, then mix 1 part bitter wormwood, 2 parts cloves and 4 parts tansy.
The tool should be taken three times a day, a teaspoon half an hour before meals, washed down with a glass of water (more, but not less). Troichetka has a small number of side effects associated with the individual reaction of the body to the components of the drug. The list of contraindications is much wider, it includes gastrointestinal diseases, conditions of immune deficiency, severe poisoning, childhood and old age. Before preparing and consuming the triad, you should talk to your doctor and get tested.
Infusions for parasites
Another form of effective antiparasitic drugs is the decoction. There are many recipes for decoctions from:
- yarrow;
- wormwood;
- buckthorn (bark);
- chamomile (flowers);
- immortal;
- oak (bark).
They can be used together or separately.
The recipe for a combined infusion looks like this. Mix a tablespoon of each herb. Then take two tablespoons of the resulting mixture and pour a glass of boiling water, then let it simmer for 60-120 minutes. After pre-filtered infusion, it should be drunk daily in half a cup on an empty stomach. The infusion should only be stored in a refrigerator.
The duration of the cleaning course is 20 days. As a preventive measure, it should be carried out at least once a year.
Then consider preparing the infusion of each of the plants separately:
- Oak bark. Recipe: pour a tablespoon of bark with a glass of boiling water, cool and leave for several hours. It must be filtered before taking the infusion. It should be consumed in half a glass in the morning on an empty stomach. The therapeutic course lasts 10 days;
- Garden brush. Recipe: put a tablespoon of wormwood herb in a thermos, pour a glass of boiling water and leave to infuse overnight. The initial dose of wormwood as part of cleansing the body is a tablespoon. The dose volume should be gradually increased to 100 ml. You should take the infusion in the morning and evening before meals. The duration of the course is up to 14 days;
- Yarrow. Recipe: Boil a tablespoon of dried yarrow in a glass of boiling water, then leave for 60-120 minutes. The product should be filtered and then drunk in the morning and evening before meals;
- Nettle. Recipe: Pour a tablespoon of dried nettle roots with a glass of cold water. Then the mixture should be placed on a water bath, boil, then turn off the heat and leave to infuse for several hours. Then strain the broth and then add water so that the total volume of liquid reaches one cup. You should use the infusion twice a day on an empty stomach;
- Collecting herbs. Includes mint leaves, tansy flowers, buckthorn bark, wormwood and valerian rhizome. Mix a tablespoon of each ingredient and add one and a half tablespoons of wild carrots. Then take two tablespoons of the mixture and add a glass of boiling water. The tool should be allowed to steam, leaving it for four hours. It must be filtered before taking the infusion. You should drink it twice a day for 1 cup. The duration of the admission course is 3 days;
- Chamomile and buckthorn bark. Recipe: Mix 20 grams of each ingredient. The resulting mixture should be boiled by pouring a glass of boiling water, then allowed to cool and steam. You should then strain it and drink the infusion at once on an empty stomach. It is necessary to take this infusion continuously for people with gastrointestinal tract and in the presence of constipation. In all other cases, the infusion should be taken once every 6 months for prophylactic purposes only.
Also, an important point is that the course of taking decoctions will require a slight change in your diet. Feeding should be partial. The diet should be lighter and low in calories. It should include fresh fruits and vegetables, grains, lean meats and dairy products. Alcohol should be completely eliminated and sugary foods and baked goods should be reduced.
Drinking plenty of water is also important. Try to drink up to 2 liters of clean, non-carbonated water a day.
Parasites during pregnancy: treatment with folk remedies
Pumpkin seeds are one of the best treatments for worms in pregnant women. First, it is completely safe. Secondly, it is effective. And thirdly, it is quite versatile. There are many recipes with pumpkin seeds, from which every pregnant woman will find a method to her liking. 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 tablespoons of olive oil or sunflower oil (will act as a laxative). Some time later, 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;
- Wrap 100 grams of pumpkin seeds through a meat grinder (you can grind through a coffee grinder). Add to them 40-50 ml of water and mix well to obtain a slurry. It should be consumed 4 times a day, 25 grams for 10 days.
Pumpkin seeds in most cases eliminate helminths, but not always. It happens that the worms remain. But at least the pumpkin seeds will not hurt.
Another good remedy for worms for pregnant women is beetroot juice. You should drink 1 tablespoon every day. 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 get worms during the watermelon season, we recommend trying them too. But here it is important not to overdo it - the abuse of melons and gourds for pregnant women is strongly discouraged. This can provoke stress on the kidneys and swelling, and this will create difficulties for both the woman and the unborn child. Therefore, you should eat watermelons within reasonable limits. In this case, they can also help get rid of parasites.
The third option is freshly squeezed pomegranate juice. It has a double effect:
- Eliminates worms;
- Increases hemoglobin.
The second effect is the main reason why pomegranate juice is at the top of 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 recipes for enemas:
- 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 to 5 days;
- Pour two tablespoons of chamomile with a glass of boiling water, then leave it for 30 minutes;
- Apply an enema with a mild soap solution.
It is important to choose the most appropriate option for yourself and be sure to discuss it with your doctor. In this case, you will not feel much discomfort and you will get the maximum positive effect.
Treatment of parasites in children with folk remedies
The treatment of worms in children, as in pregnant women, requires a delicate approach. Of course, you should start by taking your child for a pediatrician's consultation and doing all the necessary tests. Self-medication is strictly forbidden! As harmless as the drug may seem at first glance, it can have an extremely negative effect. Any medicine can only be used with the approval of your doctor.
Below we will look at the recipes for the most effective means of removing worms in children, which are offered by traditional medicine:
- 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 simmer for 12 hours at room temperature. You should take the product daily, 100 ml. The effect will occur after 7 days;
- Divide the pomegranate into 2 pieces. Mix one of them with a glass of boiling water and boil for 10 minutes, then wrap the pan and leave the product to infuse for 3 hours in this form, then strain. You should take it three times a day, 2 sips. The therapeutic course lasts 14 days;
- Peel a clove of garlic and fill it with 250 grams of milk. Cook until the garlic is soft (a few minutes are enough). Allow to simmer for 12 hours and then strain. The child should be given three tablespoons of this broth once a day in the morning before meals. The therapeutic course lasts 1 week.
In summary, it should be noted that folk remedies for the removal of helminths definitely deserve attention. They are no less effective than drugs, but much less toxic. However, they cannot be unambiguously recommended. We emphasize that any treatment (both medical and using traditional medicine) must be agreed with the attending physician. Only then will the therapy bring a 100% positive result.
