Helminthiasis represents a large group of diseases worldwide. More worm infections are not diagnosed because they are asymptomatic. The clinical signs of the disease associated with worms do not appear in a negligible number of parasites, and their activity in the human body can "disguise" the symptoms of other diseases, making the diagnosis of helminthiasis significantly more difficult.
However, in order to successfully treat such diseases, the most important thing is to start therapy on time, because in humans, worms are not harmless "living together" in the body. Multicellular parasites significantly disrupt vital processes: they multiply and invade various organs of the human body, adversely affecting their work. The waste products of worms are poisons and toxins to the human body. In addition to their direct toxic effect, they slow down the entry of nutrients necessary for life and development into the bloodstream.
Traditional medicine is an effective form of alternative therapy, the recipes of which have been passed down from generation to generation to maintain the most effective treatment options. Therefore, successful methods have survived to this day and are successfully used to treat many diseases, including worms.
Benefits of folk remedies used to treat worms
Despite the widespread development of pharmaceutical techniques, there is nothing more natural than the folk cure for worms that was tested by several generations before it came to us and proved its effectiveness.
The main benefits of folk remedies include:
- the ability to remove worms by impromptu means;
- lack of unnatural chemical exposure;
- relative health security;
- minimal risk of allergic reactions;
- the natural ingredients do not contain additives that may have a negative effect on the body;
- the absence of counterfeits and other risks of poor quality pharmaceutical production to combat worms;
- accessibility for all people - most folk remedies can be repeated at home from the ingredients found in everyone’s kitchen;
- all herbs can be purchased at a pharmacy or phytopathy without a prescription - this saves significant time and effort.
It should also be recalled that alternative medicine is a combination of the forces of man and nature, so such treatment not only effectively gets rid of worms, but also gives strength and energy to the body.
Preparing for treatment with well-proven anthelmintics
Despite the safety of traditional medicine, a number of procedures must be followed before starting treatment. This will help improve the effectiveness of methods to get rid of worms.
First, it is important to make the 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 tapeworms, but some methods differ in the nature of the effect. Appropriate faecal or blood counts are important to establish an accurate diagnosis and 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 treatment: it must be cleaned as much as possible of toxic metabolites before it can get rid of worms. You need to give up fatty, salty and sweet foods, follow a hypoallergenic and therapeutic diet that reduces the strain on the immune system.
In addition, you must defend yourself and consult a professional in advance. Only a doctor can determine the absence of contraindications for the treatment of worms in a specific way, as it takes into account all the diseases and characteristics of the condition of the human body. After thorough preparation for therapy and permission from your doctor, you can begin practicing your chosen method of alternative medicine.
Herbs and spices to remove worms
Various anti-worm herbs remain one of the most popular groups of drugs in alternative medicine. Even before the development of the pharmaceutical industry, herbs served as the main cure for all diseases in all countries of the world.
Most modern pharmaceuticals against parasites are made from herbs. They form the basis of the active ingredient in tablets and other dosage forms. However, during chemical processing, the beneficial properties of herbs are lost, so the effectiveness of herbs in controlling industrial worms is much lower than that of natural remedies.
Herbal infusions and decoctions
Infusions are prepared by giving the herb hot or cold water and then the time of preparation. The duration of the "infusion" is determined by the properties of the plant. It is important to follow the prescription strictly so that the infusion really has the indicated medicinal properties.
During the preparation of worm decoctions, the solution should be boiled, the herb boiled on low heat for some time to reveal its therapeutic properties.
Among the anthelmintics used to make infusions and decoctions for those infected, tansy, wormwood, cloves, shallots, dandelions, pelargonium, centaury, and combined herbal preparations are most commonly used.
Tansy
Representatives of this genus of perennial herbaceous plants and shrubs have long been used for medicinal purposes.
A tansy infusion is used as an anti-worm medicine to be taken orally. To make such a medicine yourself, you have to buy or find the inflorescence of tansy and dry it. You can buy the finished product in dry form: tansy is sold in the Bud Zdorov pharmacy network.
The infusion of worms is prepared according to the following recipe: 1 tablespoon of dried inflorescence should be poured with a glass of boiling water. If the worm control solution is made in a special teapot, it should be covered, or covered with an ordinary cup with a saucer - this is important for quick cooking. Once the medicine has cooled down, you should take the medicine regularly.
The dosage is 3-4 tablespoons 3-4 times a day. To remove the worms, you should take an infusion before a meal: on an empty stomach in the morning and then 30 minutes before lunch and dinner.
sage
This perennial herb is known for its bitter smell and special taste. Wormwood has been used for centuries for medicinal purposes. Due to the irritating effect of the taste buds of the oral cavity, the excretory work of the gastrointestinal tract is enhanced. It promotes the production of gastric juice, bile and pancreatic secretions.
The recipe for the decoction is as follows: grind the dried plant in a coffee grinder, then pour 2 teaspoons of dry matter with 1, 5 cups of boiling water. The resulting product should be left in a thermos or covered with a towel and the infusion filtered after 6-8 hours.
The decoction needed to fight the worms should be divided into three parts and drunk an hour and a half before eating. The procedure should be repeated every morning for 2-3 weeks, depending on the severity of the helminthiasis, to completely remove the worms.
Carnation
The spice often used in various recipes is highly valued for its versatile healing effects. The buds of dried cloves 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, activating non-specific immune defense mechanisms. Clove infusion is effective against worms. It also normalizes the function of all organs in the gastrointestinal tract.
To make most anthelmintics, pour 30 g of buds in 0. 5 liters of boiling water and allow to cool completely.
You can take this medicine as follows: 1 glass 1 time a day before breakfast.
According to some recipes, cloves should be soaked in alcohol. To do this, pour 30 g of buds with 0, 5 liters of vodka or pure alcohol, then leave the solution in a dark place for a few weeks. The scheme of anthelmintic therapy with alcoholic clove solution is to take a teaspoon of tincture for several weeks before eating.
In addition, dry cloves to control worms can be crushed and taken dry according to the following scheme: on the first day - 0, 5 g after a meal, then add 0, 5 g every day. The duration of treatment is 6 days.
Ramson
The plant known as "wild onion" increases appetite, increases the secretion of gastrointestinal glands, improves intestinal motility. Even in ancient Greece, wild onions have been used successfully against worms and as a bactericidal and fungicidal agent. with which you can quickly get rid of worms.
Dandelion
You can make a healthy salad from the first leaves of this plant, and the stems are useful for infusion.
The recipe assumes the following proportions: pour 1 teaspoon of dry stem with a glass of boiling water, let stand for an hour and strain. The phytopreparation should be taken with a quarter glass 4 times a day 30 minutes before a meal.
Drying crushed dandelion root at any time of the year makes it an excellent alternative to drugs in the fight against worms. Dandelion root powder should be taken a pinch three times a week, half an hour before meals. It is important to drink plenty of water.
Geranium
This plant is used in gastroenterology to treat intestinal disorders, gastric and intestinal ulcers and other gastrointestinal diseases. Pelargonium has also been shown to be effective against various types of worms in humans, especially fungal and nematodes.
Centaury
The plant helps to get rid of all types of parasites quickly. It is also used to treat various types of cholecystitis, chronic gastritis, and ulcerative disorders of the gastrointestinal mucosa. Thus, such a drug will be an excellent alternative to most drugs in the complex pathology of the gastrointestinal tract.
Combined herbal preparations
In the case of parasitosis, natural preparations derived from several herbs are also used. They provide a complex effect and allow the parasites to get rid of them quickly. For example, such a collection may include a combination of tansy, wormwood, and chamomile. Each of these ingredients fights worms, providing a powerful triple effect of the drug. Chamomile also soothes inflammation, helping the human gastrointestinal tract to recover quickly after infection by worms.
The recipe for infusion is simple: pour 1 tablespoon of dried collection with a glass of boiling water, then allow to cool and settle overnight. You can start treatment in the morning: take 1 glass of medicine and cook the next dose in the evening. The duration of such treatment for worms is 3 days.
Garlic and onions 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 - active ingredients that have fungicidal, antimalarial, antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory effects.
The amino acid alliin is found in garlic, which is converted to allicin during biochemical reactions. This substance has a strong bactericidal and fungicidal effect and also treats worms. This and many other beneficial effects of garlic have long been used in alternative medicine since ancient Egypt in various eras.
Garlic is used in several variants, depending on the type and severity of helminthiasis. For example, garlic can be used internally - just eat a few cloves. Experts recommend adding garlic to every meal. You can safely eat up to 6 cloves of garlic a day. This dose has only health benefits.
Garlic decoction in milk is the second version of the pharmaceutical preparation that is effective in fighting worms. To prepare, pour 3-4 cloves of garlic with a glass of milk, then bring to a boil and cook for approx. 20 minutes. The resulting broth is cooled and filtered through a sieve or cheese cloth. One should take such a drug against worms daily.
The second option for using garlic soup in milk is a medicinal enema. To treat an infection caused by worms, add a whole head of garlic to a glass of milk and cook until soft. The cooled solution is used as a pharmaceutical for microclusters. The procedure is performed for 7 days a day.
It is important to ensure that the product is not heat-treated before medical use, as allicin is only effective when consumed with raw garlic.
You can also get rid of worms at home with the help of an onion-based preparation. The active components of onion soup help to quickly remove worms in the stage of eggs and adult worms and their waste products.
One of the easiest recipes is to chop 1 onion, pour hot water over it and let it cook for a day. The anthelmintic is then filtered and taken on an empty stomach in a dose of 0. 5 cups in the morning for 3-4 days.
For the second recipe, 1 onion should be finely chopped and placed in a thermos and poured over boiling water for at least 2 hours. The anthelmintic should be taken on an empty stomach in the morning with 0, 5 cups for 10 days. Ingestion of the onion can be combined with a spoonful of honey to compensate for the special taste of the onion.
Pumpkin
Pumpkin seeds have many useful properties, they have a beneficial effect on the work of the gastrointestinal tract and gallbladder. Pumpkin seeds contain a rare amino acid (cucurbitin) that provides an anthelmintic effect. This compound has a paralyzing effect on adult helminths and completely stops their 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 the morning on an empty stomach in portions - 1 teaspoon for an hour, and after 30-60 minutes a cleansing enema is prepared for the worms.
A nicer version of the pumpkin-based wormwood is pumpkin seed dessert. To remove the worms, the seeds should be moistened with salt water and then fried over low heat with the addition of vegetable oil and salt.
The indicated dose should be adhered to. In the fight against worms, even excessive intake of herbs can damage the body. The pumpkin seed preparation should be taken on an empty stomach in the morning.
Other folk anthelmintics
If worms are found, other treatments are used: fruits from fruit trees, papaya seeds, pineapple, bananas, and 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 kernels have a mild effect against major human parasites, so it is recommended to eat pears with the seeds, chewing them thoroughly for maximum absorption.
Papaya seeds
Papaya seeds are an exotic analogue of pear fruit. This method of getting rid of worms is not very common due to the rarity of the plant. However, papaya contains carpaine, sitosterol, caricin and other biologically active substances. These chemicals allow the body to recover as quickly as possible after an anthelmintic therapy (normalizing the digestive system). Worm seeds can be ground or eaten whole. The choice depends only on the preferences of the patients.
A pineapple
Another exotic anthelmintic is pineapple. It contains a natural bromelain ingredient that effectively fights the free radicals of tapeworms. In addition, the natural acidity of pineapple disrupts the metabolism of glucose, which is the main source of energy for worms.
Berries
Various berries also have a strong effect on worms.
Strawberries, for example, are recommended for people with low-acid gastritis. You can simply add these berries to your regular diet: they improve the gastrointestinal tract, liver function, normalize stools, help treat urolithiasis, and help get rid of parasites. Strawberries have been shown to be effective against tapeworms, tapeworms and fungal worms.
Due to the large amount of organic acid in its composition, cherries are effective in getting rid of worms. 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 stalks are also used to make pharmaceuticals. They become the best medicine for worms. Grind, weigh 1 teaspoon, bring to a boil with boiling water and cook for at least 30 minutes. You can then start drinking the infusion to fight the worms.
It is recommended to eat it in the morning, before breakfast and in the evening with 0. 5 cups. Sometimes it is recommended to divide the daily dose into 4 doses. The duration of treatment should usually be 7 days, followed by a 1-week break, and the drug should be re-administered within 7 days for each worm. Such phytopreparation not only promotes the removal of 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 thoroughly for a long time. This manipulation must be repeated within a week.
Herring
When used properly, herring becomes an anthelmintic and is therefore often used at home. In order to have a therapeutic effect, as much of the herring as possible should be eaten in the evening and supplemented with 50 g of pumpkin seeds in the morning.
Honey
Another recipe for anthelmintics includes honey treatments. To do this, mix a tablespoon of product with a glass of hot water and allow to cool until warm.
They drink this solution against the worms on an empty stomach - once a day, before breakfast. For maximum effect in the fight against worms, experts recommend drinking a glass of wormwood infusion after 20 minutes, followed by a cleansing enema after 30 minutes.
Peanut butter
Oils from walnuts, macadamia nuts and other plant ingredients have a choleretic effect, removing various toxins from the intestines, including disrupting the vital activity of worms in the human body.
Herbal enema
Enema of worms has long been considered the best way to cleanse the bowel and have a quick healing effect.
The same herbal preparations are used for the enema as for the infusions, but the proportions in the recipes may be different. For example, to make an infusion that is useful for worms, the dry tansy inflorescence should be poured with boiling water in the following proportions: 1 teaspoon of the herb 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 of the worms is 7 days.
Rules for setting up enemas with phytopreparations:
- Many techniques involve the prior use of a cleansing enema. This device is needed to thoroughly cleanse the intestines and prepare the gastrointestinal tract for the effects of therapeutic enema of worms.
- The product should be thoroughly filtered and care should be taken to ensure that no plant particles remain in the solution. Under the pressure of the enema, small remnants of the stem or inflorescence can enter the intestines, causing irritation to the mucous membranes or even violation of their integrity.
- It is important that the enema solution is warm and corresponds to body temperature - about 36-37 degrees. This ensures a mild effect of traditional medicine on the intestinal mucosa and a maximum therapeutic effect: the beneficial properties of herbs are better "revealed" at this temperature.
- The number of medical enemas is determined individually, depending on the degree of worm infection and the type of worms.
The advantage of the enema is that with this method of administration the drug does not have a negative effect on the gastric mucosa, liver and kidneys. The enema against topically acting worms promotes the rapid onset of therapeutic effect and ensures that general side effects are avoided.
Prevention with folk remedies
Traditional medicine is not only effective in treating infections caused by worms, but also in preventing worms from entering the body. To do this, it is important to follow a healthy diet, sometimes adding any proven herbs to your diet as a prevention against most worms.
These foods include high-fiber vegetables such as cabbage, pumpkin, pumpkin, cucumber, and onions and garlic. Every day everyone is recommended to add greens to their meals - dill, parsley, green onions. Raw pumpkin seeds are a great way to prevent worms if consumed on an empty stomach daily, chewing the seeds 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 shown that the appearance of worms can be prevented if all precautions are taken carefully:
- wash your hands thoroughly after returning from the street and using the toilet;
- always wash vegetables and fruits before meals;
- thermal processing of all types of meat and fish;
- be careful with foods containing raw fish;
- prepare individual meals for each person (family, workplace);
- preventive treatment of animals against worms is essential to prevent the development of worm infections and the spread of parasites to humans;
- do not swim in an unknown body of water where the safety of the water has not been established;
- keep the house clean, check the hygiene of pets;
- When gardening, reject natural fertilizers of unknown origin.
In order for the treatment to be effective, the basic rules for taking anthelmintic drugs in traditional medicine must be followed, the indicated doses must be adhered to and the dynamics of the development of the disease must be carefully monitored.
It is also important to treat the worms at the same time as the whole family. This will allow you to completely save all your loved ones from an unpleasant illness. There is nothing wrong with adults with helminthiasis: you only need to take a comprehensive approach to solving the problem and follow all measures to prevent infection with the parasite in the future.
