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, simplest and safest product against worms is pumpkin seeds. They have pronounced anthelmintic properties, contain many useful components and have a general strengthening effect.
Benefits of pumpkin seeds
Pumpkin seeds- extremely useful product. Due to their cucurbitin content, they have a harmful effect on helminths. Its concentration in different plant species 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 anthelmintic properties, pumpkin seeds are second only to products made from male fern. However, the use of the latter is undesirable, as the use of fern leads to serious side effects and has many contraindications. It turns out that pumpkin seeds are the most effective and safest deworming plant.
In addition to cucurbitin, pumpkin seeds also contain many vitamins and microelements. They enrich the body with vitamins B, E, PP, ascorbic acid, potassium and calcium salts, as well as phosphorus, and compensate for iron and magnesium deficiency. This helps restore the normal functioning of the body, which has suffered as a result of 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 helminth activity. This is extremely important for restoring immunity.
Pumpkin seeds have a choleretic and laxative effect. This helps to expel the worms quickly and ensures that they do not begin to break down in the body.
To get the most benefit from pumpkin seeds, you need to use an unrefined product for treatment. It should be peeled immediately before use or preparation of medicines. The fatty oils in the grains are quickly oxidized in the air, which leads to the loss of healing properties.
What parasites does pumpkin help with?
The cucurbitin in the seeds kills all kinds of parasites: from millimeters to meters in length. When worms enter the body, they lose the ability to actively move and stick to the walls of the intestines and other organs. As a result, the helminths become paralyzed and are quickly eliminated from the body.
Pumpkin seeds help get rid of:
- roundworms (nematodes) – pinworms, whipworms, roundworms, trichinella;
- tapeworms (cestodes) - cattle and pig tapeworms, tapeworms;
- flukes (trematodes) – Siberian fluke, Giardia, liver fluke.
In order for pumpkin seeds to be as effective as possible against parasites, they must be used correctly. The largest amount of cucurbitin, the poison of parasites, is not found in the seed itself, but in the film next to the shell.
This is another reason not to buy shelled seeds for deworming recipes.

Antiallergen drugs did little to help. Then I did a test for intestinal worms and they showed roundworms. This was extremely unexpected. Since my liver was already tired from the long-term treatment, I decided to treat myself with pumpkin seeds. I ate half a glass of peeled seeds on an empty stomach. After 2 weeks, repeated analysis showed the absence of worms. "
- "I treated my 6-year-old son's dumplings with pumpkin seeds. After he was diagnosed with parasites, he was prescribed pills. But I am against drug therapy, so I tried folk recipes. I gave the child pumpkin seeds with milk. The procedure was repeated for 4 days. After that, my son's condition improved. We did the test again and it confirmed the cure. "
- "I started losing weight quickly. However, the diet did not change. I went and was examined and found worms. Mom decided to treat with pumpkin seeds.
