There are many ways to get rid of worms. Pharmacological drugs are highly effective, but they are very toxic and therefore cause significant damage to the body. Alternatively, you can use traditional methods. The most effective, simple and safe product against worms is pumpkin seeds. They have clear anthelmintic properties, contain many useful components and have a general strengthening effect.
Benefits of pumpkin seeds
Pumpkin seeds- extremely useful product. Due to the content of cucurbitin, they have a harmful effect on helminths. Its concentration in different types of plants is 0. 1-0. 3%. This amino acid is a real poison for worms. At the same time, it is completely safe for the human body.
In terms of antihelminthic properties, pumpkin seeds are second only to products made on the basis of male fern. But the use of the latter is undesirable, because the use of fern causes serious side effects and has many contraindications. It turned out that pumpkin seed is 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. It helps restore the normal functioning of the body suffering from worm parasitism.
Pumpkin seeds are indispensable in the process of anthelmintic therapy, because the oils contained in them cleanse the body. They remove toxins accumulated in the body as a result of the activity of helminths. This is extremely important for the recovery of immunity.
Pumpkin seeds have a choleretic and laxative effect. This helps to expel the worms quickly and ensures that they do not begin to decompose inside the body.
To get the maximum benefit from pumpkin seeds, you should use the unrefined product for treatment. It is necessary to peel immediately before use or preparation of medicines. Fatty oils contained in grains quickly oxidize in the air, which causes the loss of healing properties.
What parasites will pumpkin help?
Cucurbitin in the seeds destroys all types of parasites: from millimeters to meters in length. When worms enter the body, they lose the ability to actively move and attach to the walls of the intestines and other organs. As a result, helminths become paralyzed and are quickly removed from the body.
Pumpkin seeds will help you get rid of:
- round worms (nematodes) – pinworms, whipworms, roundworms, trichinella;
- tapeworms (cestodes) - cattle and pork worms, tapeworms;
- flukes (trematodes) - Siberian flukes, Giardia, liver flukes.
In order for pumpkin seeds to be as effective as possible against parasites, they must be used correctly. The largest amount of cucurbitin, a poison for parasites, is not in the kernel itself, but in the film adjacent to the shell.
This is another reason for not taking pods for anthelmintic recipes.
