Helminthiasis represents a large group of diseases all over the world. Most cases of worm infections are not diagnosed because they are asymptomatic. The clinical signs of worm disease do not manifest themselves with a small number of parasites, and if they are active in the human body, the symptoms can be "masked" like other diseases, and the diagnosis of helminthiasis will be much more difficult.
At the same time, the most important thing in the successful treatment of such diseases is the timely start of therapy, because in humans, worms are not harmless "living together" in the body. Multicellular parasites significantly disrupt vital processes: they multiply and penetrate various organs of the human body, adversely affecting their function. Worm waste is a poison and toxins for the human body. In addition to their direct toxic effects, they inhibit the entry of nutrients necessary for life and development into the bloodstream.
Traditional medicine is an effective form of alternative therapy, prescriptions are passed down from generation to generation to preserve the most effective treatment options. Therefore, successful methods have survived to this day and are used successfully in the treatment of many diseases, including worms.

Among the main advantages of folk remedies:

Preparation for treatment of worms with time-tested means
Despite the safety of traditional medicine, you must go through a number of procedures before starting treatment. This will help increase the effectiveness of methods to get rid of worms.
First of all, it is important to make a correct diagnosis. It is advisable not only to confirm the presence of helminthiasis, but also to identify a specific type of worms. Most natural remedies are universal against flatworms and roundworms, but some methods differ in the specificity of the action. To determine the exact diagnosis, it is also important to undergo appropriate stool or blood tests to monitor the outcome of treatment: in the case of successful anthelmintic therapy with folk remedies, a repeat test should be negative.
In addition, the body must be prepared for a course of treatment: to get rid of toxic metabolic products as much as possible before getting rid of worms. You should avoid fatty, salty and sweet foods, follow a hypoallergenic and therapeutic diet, which will reduce the burden on the immune system.
You also need to protect yourself and consult a specialist in advance. Only a doctor will be able to determine in a certain way that there are no contraindications for the treatment of worms, because he will take into account all the diseases and features of the condition of the human body. After thorough preparation for therapy and permission from your doctor, you can begin to apply the chosen alternative medicine method.
Herbs and spices that you can remove worms
Herbal remedies for various worms remain one of the most popular groups of drugs in alternative medicine. Medicinal plants played a key role in the treatment of all diseases in all countries of the world, even before the development of the pharmaceutical industry.
Most modern anti-parasitic drugs are made from herbs. They form the basis of the active ingredient in tablets and other dosage forms. However, in the process of chemical processing, some useful properties of herbal remedies are lost, so the effectiveness of medicinal plants in the fight against industrial worms is much less than natural means.
Herbal infusions and decoctions
Infusions are prepared by adding hot or cold water to the medicinal plant, after which the time of preparation is indicated. The duration of "infusion" is determined by the characteristics of the plant. It is important to strictly follow the prescription for the infusion to have the specified medicinal properties.
In the process of preparing a decoction for worms, the solution should be brought to a boil, the grass should be boiled at low temperature for some time to reveal the healing properties of the agent.
Among the anthelmintic herbs for preparing infusions and decoctions for an infected person, tansy, wormwood, cloves, wild garlic, dandelion, pelargonium, centaury and combined herbal preparations are most commonly used.

To combat worms, the decoction should be divided into three parts and drunk an hour and a half before breakfast. To completely remove the worms, the procedure should be repeated every morning for 2-3 weeks, depending on the severity of the helminthiasis.
cloves
Spices often used in various recipes are highly valued for their multifaceted therapeutic effects. Dried clove buds are used to remove toxins, stimulate the gastrointestinal tract and normalize digestive processes. In addition to the beneficial gastroenterological effect, clove-based drugs have a clear immunomodulatory effect by activating non-specific immune defense mechanisms. The use of clove infusion is effective against worms. In addition, it normalizes the function of all organs of the gastrointestinal tract.
To prepare medicine for most worms, 30 g of buds are poured with 0. 5 liters of boiling water and left to cool completely.

Thus, such a drug would be an excellent alternative to most pharmaceuticals for complex pathology of the gastrointestinal tract.
Mixed herbal preparations
Several herbal remedies are also used for parasitosis. They have a complex effect and allow you to quickly get rid of parasites.

You can start treatment in the morning: 1 glass of the drug should be drunk, then infuse the next part in the evening. The duration of such treatment for worms is 3 days.
Garlic and onions will help remove worms
These plants belong to the same species and therefore have a similar effect on various diseases, including infection with worms. Onions and garlic contain phytoncides - fungicides, antimalarial, antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory active ingredients.
Allicin, an amino acid converted to allicin, was found in garlic during biochemical reactions. This substance has a strong bactericidal and antifungal effect, as well as treats worms. These and many other beneficial effects of garlic have long been used in alternative medicine at various times since ancient Egypt.
Garlic is used in several versions, depending on the type and severity of helminthiasis. For example, garlic can be used internally - it is enough to eat a few cloves. Experts recommend adding garlic to all dishes. You can eat 6 cloves of garlic a day. This dose will only benefit your health.
A decoction of garlic in milk is the second version of the drug, which is effective in combating worms. To prepare it, pour 3-4 cloves of garlic in 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 cheese. Worms need to drink such a tool daily.
The second option to use garlic broth in milk is medicinal enema. To treat an infection with worms, a whole clove of garlic is added to a glass of milk, then boiled and filtered until soft. The cooled solution is used as a drug for microclusters. The procedure is performed daily for 7 days.
It is important to ensure that the product is not heat treated before using it for medicinal purposes, as allisin is active only when raw garlic is consumed.
You can also get rid of worms at home with preparations based on ordinary onions. The active components of onion broth will help to quickly remove the worms from the eggs and adult worms and their waste stage.
One of the simplest recipes is to chop 1 onion, pour hot water over it and infuse it for a day. After that, the anti-worm drug is filtered and taken in the morning on an empty stomach in a dose of 0. 5 cups 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 on an empty stomach in the morning, 0. 5 cups for 10 days. Taking an onion infusion can be combined with a spoonful of honey, which compensates for the unique taste of onions.
Pumpkin
Pumpkin seeds have many useful properties, have a beneficial effect on the gastrointestinal tract and gallbladder. Pumpkin seeds contain a rare amino acid (cucurbitin) that has an anthelmintic effect. This compound has a paralytic effect on adult helminths, leading to a complete cessation of their vital activity.
To treat an adult, it 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 in portions on an empty stomach in the morning - 1 teaspoon per hour, and after 30-60 minutes make a cleansing enema for worms.

It is necessary to follow the indicated dose. In the fight against worms, even excessive intake of herbal remedies can harm the body. Pumpkin seed preparation is taken on an empty stomach in the morning.
Other folk anthelmintics
If worms are found, other treatments are used: fruits of fruit trees, papaya seeds, pineapples, bananas and many others. Let's look at them in more detail.
Tree fruits
Fruits of various fruit and berry trees have antihelmintic effect. For example, pear seeds have a mild effect against major human parasites, so it is recommended to eat pears with seeds and chew them well for maximum absorption.
Papaya seeds
Papaya seeds are an exotic analogue of pears. This way of getting rid of worms is not very common due to the rarity of this plant. However, papaya contains carpain, sitosterol, caricin and other biologically active substances. These chemical compounds allow the body to recover as soon as possible after a course of anthelmintic therapy (normalizes the digestive system). Worm seeds can be ground or eaten whole. The choice depends only on the preferences of patients.
A pineapple
Another exotic anthelmintic agent is pineapple. Contains bromelain, a natural ingredient that effectively fights free radicals from tapeworms. Also, the natural acid of pineapple inhibits the metabolism of glucose, which is the main source of energy for worms.
Berries
Various berries also have a strong effect on worms.
For example, strawberries are recommended for anyone with low acidity gastritis. These berries can simply be added to your regular diet: they will benefit the gastrointestinal tract, liver function, normalize bowel movements, help treat urolithiasis, as well as get rid of parasites. Strawberries have been proven effective against roundworms, tapeworms, pinworms.
Cherries are effective in getting rid of worms due to their high content of organic acids. In the treatment of worms, the number of berries per day is not strictly limited, but it is better not to eat more than 1 cup to avoid the development of gastrointestinal diseases.
Also, cherry stalks are used to prepare medicinal compositions. They become the best tool for worms. Chop them, measure 1 teaspoon, boil in boiling water and infuse for at least 30 minutes. Then you can start drinking an infusion to fight worms.
It is recommended to consume 0. 5 cups in the morning before breakfast and in the evening. Sometimes it is recommended to divide the daily dose into 4 doses. The course of treatment is usually 7 days, then a break of 1 week and re-use of the drug for all worms for 7 days. Such a phytopreparation not only helps to eliminate 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 well for a long time. This manipulation should be repeated within a week.
herring
When used properly, herring becomes an antihelmintic, so it is often used at home. To achieve a therapeutic effect, you need to eat as much herring as possible in the evening, and in the morning add the effect using 50 g of pumpkin seeds.
bal
Another recipe for antihelmintics includes honey treatment. To do this, mix a tablespoon of the product with a glass of boiling water, then leave to cool until warm.
For worms, they drink this solution on an empty stomach - once a day before breakfast. To get the maximum effect in the fight against worms, experts recommend drinking a glass of wormwood infusion after 20 minutes, and then after 30 minutes to make a cleansing enema.
Peanut butter
Oils from walnuts, macadamia nuts and other plant components have a cholagogue effect, remove various toxins from the intestines, as well as disrupt the life of worms in the human body.
Herbal enemas
Enemas for worms have long been known as the best way to cleanse the intestines, as well as a quick healing effect.
For enemas, the same herbal preparations are used as for infusions, but the proportions in the recipes may be different. For example, to prepare a useful infusion for worms, dry tansy inflorescences should be poured with boiling water in the following proportions: 1 teaspoon herbs in half a glass of water. After 3 hours of infusion, the solution can be filtered and heated in a water bath for use as an enema. The infusion is injected into the rectum at night. The treatment period for worms is 7 days.
Rules for making enemas with phytopreparations:
- Many methods involve the initial use of cleansing enemas. This tool is needed to thoroughly clean the intestines and prepare the gastrointestinal tract from the effects of a therapeutic enema from worms.
- Thoroughly filter the agent and make sure that no plant particles remain in the solution. Under the pressure of an enema, small remnants of stems or flowers can enter the intestines, irritating the mucous membranes or even disrupting their integrity.
- It is important that the enema solution is warm and suitable for body temperature - about 36-37 degrees. This will ensure the gentle effect of traditional medicine on the intestinal mucosa and the maximum therapeutic effect: the beneficial properties of herbs are better "detected" at this temperature.
- The number of sessions of drug enemas is determined individually depending on the degree of infestation of worms and the type of worms.
The advantage of an enema is that the drug does not adversely affect the gastric mucosa, liver and kidneys. For locally acting worms, an enema helps to quickly initiate the therapeutic effect and ensures the absence of generalized adverse reactions.
Prevention by folk remedies
Traditional medicine is effective not only in treating worm infections, but also in preventing worms from entering the body. To do this, as a prophylactic measure against most worms, it is important to follow a healthy diet by periodically adding to the diet any herbal remedy that has been proven to be effective.
These foods include high-fiber vegetables such as cabbage, squash, squash, cucumbers, as well as onions and garlic. Every day, everyone is advised to add greens to meals - dill, parsley, green onions. When raw pumpkin seeds are consumed every day on an empty stomach, chewing the seeds well is a great way to prevent worms. Fresh root juice also prevents parasitic diseases. You can also grate the root vegetables and add sour cream or vegetable oil.
If all precautions are taken carefully, the appearance of worms can be prevented:
- wash your hands thoroughly after returning from the street and using the toilet;
- always wash vegetables and fruits before eating;
- heat treatment of all types of meat and fish;
- be careful of raw fish dishes;
- prepare individual meals for each person (family, work);
- it is important to prophylactically treat animals against worms to prevent the development of worm infections and the transmission of parasites to humans;
- do not swim in unknown water bodies for which water safety has not been proven;
- to keep the house clean, to control the hygiene of pets;
- Avoid natural fertilizers of unknown origin during gardening.
For treatment to be effective, it is necessary to follow the basic rules for taking anthelmintic drugs of traditional medicine, to follow the indicated doses and carefully monitor the dynamics of disease development.
In addition, it is important to treat worms at the same time as the whole family. This will allow you to completely save all your 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 take all measures to prevent future infection with parasites.
