Helminthiases represent a large group of diseases worldwide. Even more cases of worm infections are undiagnosed because they are asymptomatic. Clinical signs of disease in worms do not appear in an insignificant number of parasites, and their activity in the human body can "camouflage" the symptoms as other diseases and make the diagnosis of helminthiasis much more difficult.
At the same time, the most important thing in the successful treatment of such diseases is the timely start of therapy, since worms are not harmless "roommates" in humans. Multicellular parasites significantly disrupt vital processes: They multiply and penetrate various organs of the human body, which is negativeWorms are poisons and toxins for the human body, and besides being directly toxic, they slow down the entry into the bloodstream of nutrients necessary for life and development.
Traditional medicine is an effective form of alternative therapy, the formulations of which have been passed down from generation to generation for the most effective treatment options. Therefore, successful methods have survived to this day and are successfully used to treat many diseases, including worms.
The benefits of folk remedies that are used against worms
Despite the widespread development of pharmaceutical techniques, there is nothing more natural than a folk remedy for worms that has been tested by several generations before it reached us and proved its effectiveness.
The main advantages of folk remedies include:
- the ability to remove worms using improvised means;
- Lack of unnatural chemical exposure;
- relative safety for health;
- minimal risk of allergic reactions;
- natural ingredients do not contain additives that can negatively affect the body;
- the absence of counterfeiting and other risks of poor-quality production of medicines to fight worms;
- Accessibility to everyone - most recipes for folk remedies can be repeated at home from the ingredients that everyone has in the kitchen;
- All medicinal herbs are available without a prescription in a pharmacy or phyto-pharmacy - that 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, so such treatment will not only effectively get rid of worms, but also give strength and energy to the body.
Preparation for treatment with proven means against worms
Despite the safety of traditional medicine, you need to undergo a number of procedures before starting treatment. This will help improve the effectiveness of the methods of eliminating 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 determine the specific type of worms. Most natural remedies are universal against flatworms and roundworms, but some of the methods differ in the specificity of the effect. It is important to pass the appropriate fecal or blood tests in order to make an accurate diagnosis and track the outcome of the treatment: a repeated test should be negative if anthelmintic therapy with folk remedies is successful.
In addition, the body must be prepared for the course of treatment: to cleanse it of toxic metabolic products as much as possible, before getting rid of worms. You should avoid fatty, salty and sweet foods, adhere to a hypoallergenic and therapeutic diet that relieves the immune system.
You should also protect yourself and consult a specialist beforehand. Only a doctor can determine the absence of contraindications to the treatment of worms in a specific way, taking into account all the diseases and characteristics of the human body. After thorough preparation for therapy and permission from the doctor, you can begin practicing the chosen alternative medicine method.
Herbs and spices that can be used to remove worms
Herbal remedies for various worms remain one of the most popular groups of drugs in alternative medicine. Medicinal herbs were used as the main treatment for all diseases in all countries of the world even before the development of the pharmaceutical industry.
Most modern pharmaceutical remedies for parasites are made from herbs. They form the basis of active ingredients in tablets and other dosage forms. However, chemical processing loses some of the beneficial properties of herbal remedies, so the effectiveness of medicinal herbs in fighting industrial worms is much less than that of natural remedies.
Herbal teas and decoctions
Infusions are prepared by adding hot or cold water to the medicinal plant, followed by the time of preparation. The duration of the "infusion" is determined by the properties of the plant. It is important to strictly adhere to the recipe so that the infusion really has the stated medicinal properties.
When preparing decoctions for worms, you need to bring the solution to a boil and cook the herb over low heat for some time so that the remedy develops its therapeutic properties.
Among the anthelmintic herbs used to prepare infusions and decoctions for an infected person, the most commonly used are tansy, wormwood, cloves, wild garlic, dandelion, pelargonium, centaury, and combined herbal preparations.
Tansy
Representatives of this genus of perennial herbaceous plants and shrubs have long been used for medicinal purposes.
A tansy infusion that is taken orally is used as a remedy for worms. To make such a drug yourself, you need to buy or find and dry tansy inflorescences. You can buy a ready-made preparation in dry form: tansy is sold in the Bud Zdorov pharmacy network.
The infusion for worms is prepared according to this recipe: 1 tablespoon of dried inflorescences must be poured with a glass of boiling water. If a solution to fight worms is prepared in a special teapot, then you need to cover it with a lid or cover a regular cup with a saucer - this is important for quick brewing. After the drug cools, you need to take the drug regularly.
The dosage is 4 tablespoons 3-4 times a day. Drinking an infusion to get rid of worms is necessary before meals: in the morning on an empty stomach, then 30 minutes before lunch and dinner.
mugwort
This perennial herb is known for its bitter smell and specific taste. Wormwood has been used medicinally for centuries. Due to the irritation of the taste buds in the oral cavity, the elimination work of the gastrointestinal tract is increased. It promotes the production of gastric juices, bile and pancreatic secretions.
The recipe for the decoction is as follows: the dried plant must be ground in a coffee grinder, and then pour 1, 5 cups of boiling water over 2 teaspoons of dry matter. The resulting product should be kept in a thermos or covered with a towel, and after 6-8 hours strain the infusion.
The decoction for combating worms should be divided into three parts and drunk in the morning an hour and a half before meals. The procedure should be repeated every morning for 2-3 weeks, depending on the severity of the helminthiasis, to completely remove the worms.
clove
The spice, which is often used in various recipes, is highly valued for its versatile medicinal properties. 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 preparations have a pronounced immunomodulatory effect and activate unspecific immune defense mechanisms. The use of clove infusions is effective against worms. In addition, it normalizes the functioning of all organs of the gastrointestinal tract.
To prepare a drug for most worms, 30 g of buds are poured with boiling water in a volume of 0. 5 liters and allowed to cool completely.
You can take the drug according to the following scheme: 1 glass 1 time a day before breakfast.
Some recipes suggest that cloves should be fortified with alcohol. To do this, pour 30 g of buds with 0. 5 liters of vodka or pure alcohol, and then leave the solution in a dark place for several weeks. The scheme of anthelmintic therapy with an alcoholic solution of cloves for humans is to take a teaspoon of tincture before meals for several weeks.
Dry cloves for combating worms can also be crushed and taken dry according to the following scheme: on the first day - 0. 5 g after meals, then add 0. 5 g every day. The duration of treatment is 6 days.
Wild garlic
The plant known as "bear onion" increases appetite, increases secretion of gastrointestinal glands, improves intestinal motility. In ancient Greece, wild garlic was successfully used against worms and as a bactericidal and antifungal agent. You can find a ready-made dry decoction base from this plant to quickly get rid of worms.
dandelion
You can make a healthy salad from the first leaves of this plant, and the stems are suitable for infusion.
The recipe is based on the following proportions: Pour 1 teaspoon of dry stems with a glass of boiling water, let it steep for an hour and strain. A phytopreparation is taken in a quarter glass 4 times a day 30 minutes before meals.
Drying shredded dandelion root makes it a great alternative to medicines for worm control any time of the year. Dandelion root powder should be taken half an hour before meals three times a week. It is important to drink it with plenty of water.
Pelargonium
This plant is used in gastroenterology to treat intestinal diseases, 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, particularly pinworms and roundworms.
Centaury
The plant quickly helps get rid of all kinds of parasites. It is also used to treat various types of cholecystitis, chronic gastritis, and ulcerative defects of the gastrointestinal mucosa. Thus, such a drug is an excellent alternative to most drugs for the complex pathology of the gastrointestinal tract.
Combined herbal preparations
With parasitosis, natural preparations made from several herbs are also used. They offer a complex action and allow you to get rid of parasites quickly. For example, such a collection may contain a combination of tansy, wormwood, and chamomile. Each of these components fight worms, which provides a powerful triple action of the drug. Chamomile also relieves inflammation, promotes the rapid recovery of the human gastrointestinal tract after an infection with worms.
The recipe for the infusion is simple: 1 tablespoon of the dried collection must be poured with a glass of boiling water, then cool and settle overnight. In the morning you can start treatment: 1 glass of the drug must be drunk, then brew the next serving for the evening. The duration of such treatment for worms is 3 days.
Garlic and onions will help remove worms
These plants are of the same species and therefore have similar effects on different diseases, including worm infection. Onions and garlic contain phytoncides - active ingredients with fungicidal, malaria, antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory effects.
The amino acid alliin was found in garlic, which is converted into allicin during biochemical reactions. It is this substance that has powerful bactericidal and antifungal effects, and it also treats worms. These and many other beneficial effects of garlic have long been used in alternative medicine in various eras, beginning with the time of Ancient Egypt.
Garlic is used in different versions, 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 meals. You can safely eat up to 6 cloves of garlic per day. This dosage only brings health benefits.
A decoction of garlic in milk is the second version of a medicinal composition effective in the fight against worms. To prepare, pour a glass of milk over 3-4 cloves of garlic, bring to the boil and cook for about 20 minutes. The resulting broth is cooled and filtered through a sieve or cheesecloth. Drinking such a remedy for worms is necessary on a daily basis.
The second way to use garlic broth in milk is with a medicinal enema. To treat worm infection, whole garlic is placed in a glass of milk, then boiled until soft and filtered. The cooled solution is used as a medicinal composition for microclysters. The procedure is carried out daily for 7 days.
Care should be taken to ensure that the product is not heat treated prior to consumption for medicinal purposes, as allicin is only active when consuming raw garlic.
You can also get rid of worms at home with the help of preparations based on an ordinary onion. The active ingredients of onion broths help to quickly remove worms at the stage of eggs and adult worms and their waste products.
One of the simplest recipes is to chop 1 onion and pour boiling water over it, then let it steep for a day. After that, the drug is filtered against infection with worms and taken at a dosage of 0. 5 cups in the morning on an empty stomach for 3-4 days.
For the second recipe, 1 onion must be finely chopped and put in a thermos, pour boiling water over it for at least 2 hours. The drug against worms should be taken in the morning on an empty stomach, 0, 5 cups for 10 days. The ingestion of onion infusion can be combined with a spoonful of honey, which balances out the special taste of onions.
pumpkin
Pumpkin seeds have a lot of useful properties, have a beneficial effect on the work of 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 and leads to a complete cessation of their vital activity.
To treat an adult, it is enough to take 300 g of seeds, grind on a coffee grinder, add a tablespoon of honey and 50 ml of water. The resulting mixture is taken in parts in the morning on an empty stomach - 1 teaspoon for an hour, and after 30-60 minutes they make a cleansing enema for worms.
A nicer version of a pumpkin-based anthelmintic is a pumpkin seed dessert. To remove worms, it is necessary to moisten the seeds with salted water, and then fry them over low heat with the addition of vegetable oil and salt.
It is necessary to adhere to the indicated dosage. Excessive use of herbal remedies to fight worms can also harm the body. The pumpkin seed preparation is taken in the morning on an empty stomach.
Other popular anthelmintics
If worms are found, other treatment methods are also used: fruits from fruit trees, papaya seeds, pineapples, bananas and many more. Let's take a closer look at them.
Tree fruits
The fruits of various fruit and berry trees have an anthelmintic effect. For example, pear seeds have mild action against major human parasites, so it is recommended that the pear be eaten with the seeds and chewed thoroughly for maximum absorption.
Papaya seeds
Papaya seeds are an exotic analogue of pear fruits. 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 quickly as possible after anthelmintic therapy (normalization of the digestive tract). Worm seeds can be ground or eaten whole. The choice depends only on patient preferences.
A pineapple
Another exotic anthelmintic is pineapple. It contains the natural component bromelain, which effectively combats the release of free radicals from tapeworms. In addition, the natural acidity of pineapples disrupts glucose metabolism - the main source of energy for worms.
Berry
Various berries also have a strong effect on worms.
For example, strawberries are recommended for anyone with low acid gastritis. These berries can be easily added to your usual diet: they promote the gastrointestinal tract, liver function, normalize bowel movements, help treat urolithiasis, and also help get rid of parasites. Strawberries have been shown to be effective against roundworms, tapeworms, and pinworms.
Cherries are effective in getting rid of worms due to the large amount of organic acids in their composition. The number of berries per day in the treatment of worms is not strictly limited, but it is better not to eat more than 1 glass, so as not to provoke the development of gastrointestinal diseases.
Cherry stems are also used to make medicinal compositions. They become the best remedy for worms. Grind them, measure out 1 teaspoon, boil them with boiling water and let them steep for at least 30 minutes. Then you can start drinking the infusion to fight worms.
It is recommended to have 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 you need a break of 1 week and repeated use of the drug for all worms within 7 days. Such a phytopreparation not only promotes the excretion of worms, but also strengthens the stomach, stimulates the appetite and improves digestive processes.
Raw rice
Raw rice is also effective against worms. Take 1 handful of raw rice and chew it thoroughly over a long period of time. This manipulation should be repeated within a week.
herring
When used correctly, herring turns into an anthelmintic, so it is often used at home. For a therapeutic effect, you need to eat as much herring as possible in the evening, and in the morning supplement the effect with the use of 50 g of pumpkin seeds.
Darling
Another recipe for anthelmintics includes honey treatments. To do this, mix a tablespoon of the product with a glass of hot water, then let it warm up.
You 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 recommend drinking a glass of wormwood infusion after 20 minutes and then performing a cleansing enema after 30 minutes.
peanut butter
Oils from walnuts, macadamia nuts and other plant components have a choleretic effect, remove various toxins from the intestines, including interfering with the vital activity of worms in the human body.
Herbal enemas
Enemas for worms have long been known as the best way to cleanse the colon as well as provide quick healing.
The same herbal preparations are used for enemas as for infusions, but the proportions in the recipes may differ. For example, to make a useful infusion for worms, it is necessary to pour dry tansy inflorescences with boiling water in the following ratio: 1 teaspoon of 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 duration of treatment for worms is 7 days.
Rules for putting an enema with phytopreparations:
- Many techniques involve the temporary use of cleansing enemas. This tool is needed to thoroughly cleanse the intestines and prepare the gastrointestinal tract for the effects of a therapeutic enema from worms.
- It is necessary to thoroughly 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 get into the intestines, which leads to irritation of the mucous membrane or even a violation of its integrity.
- It is important that the enema solution is warm and corresponds to body temperature - about 36-37 degrees. This achieves a mild effect of traditional medicine on the intestinal mucosa and the maximum therapeutic effect: the beneficial properties of herbs are better "developed" at this temperature.
- The number of sessions of medical enemas is determined individually, depending on the degree of worm infestation and the type of worms.
The advantage of an enema is that with this method of application the drug does not have a negative effect on the gastric mucosa, liver and kidneys. Acting locally, an enema against worms promotes a rapid onset of the therapeutic effect and ensures that no generalized side effects occur.
Prevention with folk remedies
Traditional medicine is effective not only to treat worm infections, but also to prevent worms from entering the body. To do this, it is important to stick to a healthy diet and regularly add an herbal remedy with proven effectiveness to the diet as a preventive measure against most worms.
These foods include high fiber vegetables like cabbage, squash, squash, cucumber, as well as onions and garlic. Every day, each person is recommended to add vegetables to dishes - dill, parsley, green onions. Raw pumpkin seeds are a great way to prevent worms when consumed on an empty stomach daily and the seeds chewed thoroughly. Fresh carrot juice also prevents parasitic diseases. You can also grate the root vegetables and add sour cream or vegetable oil.
It has been proven that the occurrence 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;
- thermally process all types of meat and fish;
- Be careful with dishes made with raw fish;
- prepare individual dishes for each person (in the family, at work);
- it is imperative to treat animals prophylactically against worms in order to prevent the development of infections with worms in them and the transmission of parasites to humans;
- do not swim in unfamiliar waters that have not been proven to be safe;
- keep the house clean, monitor pet hygiene;
- refuse natural fertilizers of unknown origin when doing gardening.
In order for the treatment to be effective, it is necessary to follow the basic rules for taking anthelmintics of traditional medicine, observe the indicated dosages, carefully monitor the dynamics of the development of the disease.
It is also important to treat worms with the whole family at the same time. In this way, all loved ones can be completely saved from an unpleasant disease. There is nothing wrong with helminthiasis in adults: you just need to fully approach the solution to the problem and, in the future, take all measures to prevent infection with parasites.
