Despite the fact that people currently have access to many hygiene products as well as food processing methods, no one is free from worm infection. These parasites can appear in the human body regardless of gender and age. In addition to the fact that the awareness of the presence of parasites in the body is unpleasant in itself, this phenomenon can be accompanied by a number of unpleasant symptoms and diseases.
Unlike many other diseases, it is impossible to completely protect yourself from infection by worms with vaccines or special preparations. However, there are a number of effective folk remedies that not only help you recover from the disease, but also prevent it from occurring in the future. These recipes have been created thanks to many years of experience and their effectiveness has been proven over time. Special recipes are available all the way to young children and the elderly.
What are worms?
In order to choose the right method to treat worms, you must first find their species, which is only possible under laboratory conditions. Thus, if localization is taken as a criterion, it is possible to distinguish intestinal worms as well as extraintestinal parasites that are able to live and multiply in blood vessels, bile ducts, and even brain and lung tissues. It is also worth distinguishing between biological species. So worms can refer to round, tapeworms or fluff.
Worms can vary depending on the stage of their life cycle, and are divided into biohelmedics, geohelmeds, and infectious species.
- So the geohelm samples are in the form of eggs and are in the soil. Without crossing this stage, worms cannot enter the human body.
- Biohelmed samples appear after several intermediate host exchanges. So before you infect a person, you can visit the bodies of the animals.
- Infectious intestinal worms enter the external environment from the human body.
Symptoms of worm infection
The time of the first symptoms of infection with worms can vary from several days to several months, depending on the type of parasite. The most common manifestation of the acute stage of helmentosis is considered to be an allergic reaction. They occur in the form of rashes, which are accompanied by itching. Their area is constantly growing. In addition, swelling of the lymph nodes as well as tissue edema and muscle and joint pain occur. Particularly severe cases may be accompanied by severe cough, chest pain, shortness of breath, stool disturbances, nausea, enlarged spleen and even changes in blood composition.
Helmintiasis can eventually turn into a chronic stage. Symptoms can vary depending on which organ is affected by the worms. Most often, this problem affects the intestines. If the number of individuals of the parasites is insignificant, the disease should have no symptoms at all. Problems only arise with large populations or large parasites. The main effect of intestinal worms is precisely on the digestive system, which makes it difficult for nutrient absorption processes as well as the excretion of waste products from the body. As a result, immunity is reduced and the work of all body systems is interrupted. As for children, the symptoms of helmentosis can spread to the nervous system.
Milk and garlic for worms
This recipe is probably best for children. Generally, 3-4 days of treatment is sufficient for the worms to disappear. During this time, it is recommended to give the child a glass of milk every day that contains three crushed garlic. Here, garlic plays the main role, and milk only helps to eliminate the unpleasant bitterness. Be sure to do a garlic enema before going to bed.
There are several recipes to solve the enema.
- The easiest way is to chop the garlic (1 clove) by placing it in a glass of water or milk and boil for 5 minutes. The liquid must then be filtered.
- Another option is to cook the garlic head in a glass of milk until soft. After the milk has cooled, strain and give an enema. You can use the full volume for adults, and half a glass (70-100 ml) is enough for children. It is important to keep for as long as possible after the enema. The enema will help get rid of pinworms.
- To enhance the effect of the enema, you can take some garlic-based products at once. So it is useful to drink a small amount of milk with 15 drops of garlic juice three times a day on an empty stomach.
- It is also useful to eat 10 cloves of garlic at a time, washed with fried milk. You need to give the garlic a few hours to act on the gastrointestinal tract and then take a laxative. This is one of the most effective ways to heal worms, which was used by ancient healers.
Garlic tincture
Garlic is a panacea used to treat almost any disease. In the case of worms, it may be difficult to find a more effective cure. And garlic will be especially effective if taken in the form of a tincture. You will need 5 cloves of garlic and a glass of milk to make it.
First, let the garlic through a press or grate to make a porridge. Pour the resulting mixture with milk and boil for about 15 minutes. After removing the pan from the heat, cover with a lid and allow the soup to cook for a few hours. The resulting product can be used in both beverage and enema forms.
The process of taking garlic tincture is a week. However, you should drink 4 glasses each day (you can make the tincture at once for the whole day, increasing the amount of ingredients proportionally). If you choose to be treated with an enema, you will also need a glass of tincture (half the standards will be enough for a child). It is better to perform the procedure for a week before going to bed.
Treatment of worms with pumpkin seeds
Pumpkin seeds are a fairly effective remedy for helmentosis, and the treatment causes far less discomfort than garlic treatments. So the seeds work well in combination with castor oil. For three days, 25 unpeeled pumpkin seeds should be eaten in 4 servings. Try to chew them as thoroughly as possible. After an hour, drink a teaspoon of castor oil. The treatment process takes three days.
For the next recipe, grind 300 grams of peeled pumpkin seeds in a coffee grinder or mortar. Dilute the resulting powder with water so that the density of the mass is similar to that of sour cream. At the end of cooking, add a tablespoon of honey. Please note that for a teenager, the amount of medicine is halved and one-sixth of adult norms are enough to treat a toddler. In the morning on an empty stomach should eat the resulting mass. In order for the effect of the drug on the body to be consistent, try extending this procedure by an hour, chewing the individual parts slowly (this will not be difficult as the weight of the seed filled with honey will taste very pleasant). After three hours, you should drink a laxative or make an enema. This method allows you to solve the problem of worms in exactly one day.
Enema from a worm
Since in most cases worms parasitize the intestines, it is entirely appropriate to use topical treatments such as enemas. Usually the enema is given at night. And even if you take certain medications by mouth, you can hardly do without this procedure.
Garlic enema is most effective. Chop 5 cloves of garlic well, pour half a glass of water and bring the resulting mass to a boil. When the broth has cooled, filter and start the procedure. Keep in mind that the solution to such an enema cannot be completely cold. It is better to match your body temperature.
In the fight against worms, tansy shows great effectiveness. So for a glass of boiling water you will need 20 grams of dry herbs. After half an hour, the infusion will be completely ready and just need to be filtered. As in the previous case, the product should be slightly warm. Attention! It should be reminded that tansy procedures should not be performed by pregnant and lactating women!
Since the parasites do not tolerate the alkaline environment, it is entirely possible to use baking soda for enemas. Dissolve half a teaspoon of baking soda in a glass of water and heat the resulting solution slightly on the stove to 38-42 ºC. For children, this amount will be enough. And when it comes to treating adults, it’s better to make two glasses of solution for one procedure.
Herbs
Herbs are fundamental to traditional medicine, so you can’t do without them to treat worms. In addition to the fact that herbs are extremely effective, the procedures performed with them are quite gentle and the treatment does not cause severe discomfort.
- Bitter wormwood is used quite often in the treatment of worms. To prepare the infusion, pour a glass of boiling water over a tablespoon with a slide of dry grass. The sign that the medicine is ready will be that the grass settles to the bottom and the liquid itself turns brown. The soup must be filtered. Drink half a glass of medicine shortly before meals (three times a day).
- The infusion of tansy is prepared in a similar way, but the preparation time is increased to 4 hours. In addition, given that tansy is a poisonous plant, you can drink no more than one tablespoon of medicine at a time. There should be 4 such techniques during the day. You can also make an enema with Tansy, the recipe of which is given above.
- If you are not sure if you can prepare the infusion or decoction properly, try making a dry mixture. So grind the flaxseed, cloves and dried wormwood in equal proportions in a coffee grinder. You should take half a teaspoon of powder after each meal.
- The most gentle way to get rid of worms is to take 200 ml of fresh carrot juice a day. (preferably on an empty stomach). The decoction of dried pomegranate peel as well as chamomile tea helps well.
Pumpkin seed oil
Pumpkin seed oil is used to remove large parasites from the body. It also fights tape and round worms effectively. The treatment lasts for three days, during which time they drink a teaspoon of medicine three times a day (on an empty stomach, of course). You should only eat after half an hour. We also recommend placing oil enemas in a volume of 50 ml at night.
Worm tea
In order not to conjure up herbs on your own, you can buy preparations and herbal teas in the pharmacy that are specifically designed to remove parasites. So monastery tea is very popular. In addition, almost every pharmaceutical company has its own antiparasitic collection. Their composition is approximately the same, but the proportions of some herbs can vary significantly.
Is it possible to infect animals with worms?
Of course, there is a huge risk of infection with worms through contact with cats and dogs, as these are the main carriers of parasites. However, you will not get sick if you follow basic hygiene practices. It is enough to wash your hands thoroughly every time you stroke the animal or touch some objects (dishes, toilets, pet toys).
If you touched your lips with your dirty fingers or ate something, you probably can’t avoid the infection. Also, keep a certain distance from animals. Even if you love your pet very much, you better not kiss her as there are parasitic larvae in the saliva and hair of the animals. Precautions should be taken even if your pet does not go outdoors.
How do worms come out?
Worms can come out not only through the anus but also with vomiting. In fact, they don't necessarily die.
Helmentosis is very treatable. However, if you don’t trust pharmaceuticals, you have a huge selection of proven and effective folk remedies. Be patient and heal consistently. Once rid of the parasites, your well-being will improve dramatically.
