Infection with worms is not SARS or migraines, not everyone rushes to the hospital with it. Having found an unpleasant surprise in the toilet in the morning, many do not even tell their loved ones about it. The main assistant in solving the problem is the Internet and invisible online consultants. If an intimate question surprises you, it is better to turn to the pantry of natural healers: herbs, vegetables, berries, used for centuries to treat helminthic invasions.
Even today, folk remedies for worms in adults are not inferior to synthetic drugs. It is important to know how to use them wisely so that the parasites calcify and do not harm themselves.
Tasks and goals of traditional medicine
The attitude towards alternative medicine is ambiguous or completely negative for many. On the one hand, this is due to people's desire to follow new trends and lose sight of the methods of the last century. On the other hand, the number of scammers promoting the treatment of fractures with psyllium and cancer with mouse droppings is growing.
In fact, herbal supplements have incredible power when in the hands of a knowledgeable person. Because they are 100% natural, they don't stress the liver as much as chemical agents. But their thoughtless use often entails the manifestation of side effects. In addition, each plant has a number of contraindications that are difficult to ignore. There are even people with allergies to black tea, let alone poisonous herbs.
This also applies to medicinal plants that kill helminths. Most are mildly toxic, others irritate the digestive tract, some are toxic. Therefore, almost all herbal remedies against worms can not be taken:
- people with diseases of the digestive system in the acute stage or with an aggravated "chronic";
- pregnant and lactating women;
- Small children up to 2 years and some herbs even for teenagers up to 12-18 years.
Before you cast worms out of a person's home, pay attention to how the plant affects blood pressure, liver and kidney function.
Folk recipes for worms for an adult
Resorting to the treatment of helminthiasis using folk methods, you need to understand that the dosages given in the recipes are very conditional. A major downside to herbal remedies is that they don't have standardization standards. Before you get rid of worms with folk remedies, remember that the recipes do not take into account the weight of the patient and the intensity of the invasion.
Remove parasites with vegetables (fiber)
Rather, this is not the method itself, but the basis of proper nutrition in intestinal helminthiasis. Diet during elimination of intestinal parasites should include taking a loading dose of raw vegetables, greens and grains. It is good to include citrus fruits in the diet - worms do not like them. The basis of the diet at this time should be pumpkin, carrots, beets and fresh dill. Add pineapple (not canned) for dessert. But from flour, baking, alcohol for the period of treatment must be abandoned. During therapy, it is important to adhere to the drinking regime.
Carrot juice and fresh carrots
It is believed that all carrots, from root to leaf tip, contain components dangerous to worms. Chewing vegetables to kill parasites is optional, but drinking a glass of freshly squeezed juice is very helpful. Repeat two more doses at bedtime. You can add honey and milk to improve the taste.
There is also such an interesting recipe:
- Take equal amounts of carrot juice, beets, cognac, liquid honey.
- Stir thoroughly.
- Take an incomplete glass before meals for a week.
If you follow the Indian Ayurveda system, carrots can be eaten in their pure form to cleanse the body of intestinal worms. But it is important to gnaw fresh vegetables more than once a day and switch to a mono-diet consisting exclusively of one carrot for two or three days. It can be grated with an apple or beets made in Korean and mixed with honey. The main thing is that the vegetables are not thermally processed.
Keep in mind that carrots are a pretty strong allergen. In addition, this product is unacceptable in such shock doses for people:
- with diabetes;
- in diseases of the thyroid gland;
- inflammation of the small intestine.
pumpkin seed
This herbal product is considered one of the leaders in terms of effectiveness in the fight against intestinal worms. It is better not to buy ready-made seeds, but to prepare them yourself.
- Buy a large squash in season and clean the seeds.
- Dry and lightly fry in a pan or in the oven.
- Peel off the hard shell, leaving a thin green film.
It is allowed to store the seeds in this form, you can grind them into powder in a mortar or coffee grinder. For the treatment you will need either a small handful of whole seeds or a tablespoon of powder. Take the remedy after a meal and after another hour drink a spoonful of castor oil. It takes no more than a week to remove parasites this way.
Linseed infusion
Flax seeds have anti-helminthic properties. Ready-made pharmacy oil is often used to combat parasites, but its effectiveness is rather doubtful. Get rid of worms with flaxseed, perhaps using the recipe:
- Grind the seeds in a coffee grinder or mortar and take 2 full tablespoons of the prepared powder.
- Pour a liter of barely boiling water and boil under the lid for a quarter of an hour.
- Cool, strain from the cake, add a spoonful of aloe.
- Take 2 tablespoons three times a day before meals.
The broth is prepared only from fresh seeds (these are those that have been stored for less than a year), ripened in the refrigerator for no more than 4 days. If there is no aloe juice at hand, then the drink is prepared without it.
Do not take this and other flaxseed supplements if you:
- inflammatory processes in the gallbladder;
- stones in the gallbladder;
- Diseases of the kidneys and urinary tract (when using flax, you need to drink plenty of fluids).
walnut tincture
Worms don't like anything bitter, including nutty green "crusts". The fruits themselves do not have such pronounced anthelmintic properties. To destroy all types of helminths, prepare a tincture:
- Take the shells of three dozen nuts (green, no shells), pour a liter of vodka on the bottom.
- Insist 40 days, drink a full teaspoon daily on an empty stomach.
In the same way, you can make a tincture from the partitions inside the nut. You should not drink liquids if you have a bowel disorder or increased blood clotting.
chamomile decoction
Chamomile is an excellent sedative and antiseptic. It is most often used as an additional component in aggressive antihelminthic decoctions, and not in its pure form. But an infusion or decoction of these sunny flowers can be used as an anthelmintic for young children. Women in position and breastfeeding a few cups of this drink will also come in handy.
garlic
The most common method of combating worms, dating back to medieval times, is garlic. At that time, a proverb was spoken in all languages, which meant one thing: if garlic and onions disappear, mankind will be eaten by parasites. The effect of phytoncides, rich in pungent fruits, on worms is equated with the effect of high temperatures on viruses.
To prevent worm infection, you can supplement the diet with a few cloves of garlic every day. To destroy parasites that have settled in the body, use the recipe:
- Squeeze one and a half glasses of garlic juice, mix with half a liter of honey.
- Boil in a water bath for half an hour, periodically removing the foam.
- Take a full dessert spoon before meals.
Store the product in the refrigerator.
You can make a decoction with milk:
- Chop half a clove of garlic or pass through a garlic press.
- Pour the resulting mass with a glass of milk and boil for a quarter of an hour.
- Allow to cool, strain from the cake, take a spoonful four times a day.
onion tincture
Onions are used together with garlic against worms. It can be baked, eaten raw, but it is better to prepare a tincture:
- Finely chopped onions fill half the volume of a 1. 5 liter bottle.
- Top up with vodka.
- Insist 10 days, take a full spoon twice a day.
Be careful, this remedy is hard on the liver.
vermouth
A powerful remedy against all types of helminths. The anthelmintic properties of the grass are due to the thujone content. Tinctures and decoctions are able to nullify a strong invasion, and in combination with other components they have a stronger effect. The easiest way is to use wormwood in dry form, without thermal processing. Dry wormwood collection should be ground in a coffee grinder, which is taken in three doses of a tablespoon per day. Dilute the product with water before use.
All medicines with wormwood are prohibited for pregnant women, young children and people with stomach ulcers.
hemp and linseed oil
These and other (olive, sunflower) oils are best used not as the main, but as an adjunct treatment. Drinking them in their pure form is a risky endeavor fraught with intestinal upset. It is better to use oils in the form of dressings for salads in the daily diet or as a laxative after taking basic medicines.
tansy
A faithful companion of vermouth in properties and composition. Tansy also contains thujone, worms are afraid of it. It is allowed to use dry tansy, like wormwood, you can prepare a decoction. To do this, pour two tablespoons of the pharmacy collection with boiling water and boil for a few minutes. Take half a cup before meals.
"Troychatka" (wormwood, tansy and clove buds)
From the best side, such a remedy has proven itself against parasites living in the intestines. The recipe was developed by a well-known specialist in traditional medicine. For cooking you will need:
- 10 parts tansy;
- 5 parts dry cloves;
- 3 parts vermouth.
Mix all ingredients, grind into powder. Use dry or diluted with water according to the scheme:
- Day 1 - a teaspoon in the morning;
- Day 2 - twice a day in the same amount;
- Day 3 – Switch on another dose and continue at that dosage for another week.
Before taking, contraindications to each of the components of the triad should be considered.
Recipe from wormwood, clove buds, flaxseed
An aggressive treatment based on powerful herbal ingredients. In this cocktail, the main anthelmintic component is wormwood, flax has a laxative effect, and cloves have an antiseptic effect.
- Take the components in equal parts, grind.
- Eat a teaspoon of dry mix before meals. Two weeks is enough to get rid of the worms.
Recipe made from dry vermouth, pumpkin seeds and vodka
A tool for those who have already tried known methods. An alcohol base and two components with powerful anthelmintic properties very effectively fight worms.
- Grind dried pumpkin seeds into powder and add an equal amount of dry vermouth.
- Pour vodka three times more into the resulting dry mixture.
- Let the liquid steep in a bright, warm place for a week.
- Take the finished tincture in a glass on an empty stomach, morning and evening for two weeks.
Thyme (thyme) from worms
This herb is not used against worms as often as tansy or wormwood, but its anthelmintic properties along with powerful antiseptic and analgesic properties make it an excellent remedy for mild infestations.
- Pour a tablespoon of herbs in a glass of boiling water and leave for 5 minutes.
- Refrigerate, strain, drink a tablespoon after (not before, like most remedies) a meal for a few weeks.
The effect is noticeable after 7 days, the second week of admission is indicated for prevention.
birch buds
This ingredient can also be used to treat concomitant diseases of the gastrointestinal tract and to remove helminths from the body. You can make decoctions, water infusions, tinctures - the efficiency is about the same. Decoction and infusion are taken three times in one glass, alcohol tincture - in a full tablespoon.
- For alcohol tincture, take components 1: 5 (kidney / vodka).
- For a decoction - 2 full spoons of kidneys and a glass of water.
- For the infusion - 2 tablespoons and two glasses of water.
A contraindication to taking it is cholelithiasis and impaired renal function. In addition, pregnant women should not take money on birch buds.
butterbur
Another folk remedy for worms for humans. Unspecific, but also effective. This plant with huge (up to one and a half meters) leaves is considered decorative. Buying butterbur from a pharmacy can be problematic, but if it's growing in the garden, try using it as an anthelmintic.
- Dry, grind the leaves of the plant.
- Infuse a tablespoon of the resulting product with a glass of boiling water.
- Wrap the bowl, let the liquid cool.
- Take a dessert spoon 4 times a day.
Unlike the other herbs described above, this plant is poisonous. It is necessary to take funds based on it with extreme caution!
Ginger
This oriental spice is also called hornroot. It contains the substance gingerol, which makes ginger bitter. The spicy remedy owes its anthelmintic properties to him. However, experts note that it makes more sense to use ginger preventively, since its effect on parasite larvae is strongest.
To prevent infection, you can eat pickled ginger or a decoction of fresh root chips. By the way, adding lemon and honey is also a sure way to prevent viral diseases.
Alcohol tincture made from 0. 5 kg of grated root and half a liter of vodka is also good. Infuse the remedy for two weeks, take a spoonful before meals.
Do not use ginger for:
- high temperature;
- cardiovascular diseases;
- acute diseases of the gastrointestinal tract.
Caraway seeds
A spice that not everyone likes. But if you treat them calmly, then prepare such an anthelmintic:
- Take half a tablespoon of cumin and dill.
- Chop, mix.
- Take the dry mixture with water. The course lasts no more than a week.
You can not use this spice for people:
- with heart disease;
- with thrombophlebitis;
- with ulcers, colitis;
- patients with diabetes mellitus.
datura grass
Some experts believe that this plant can remove parasites from atypical places: lungs, eyes. To do this, they recommend inhaling weed smoke. Little is known about the effectiveness of this method. Only one thing is certain - you can not drink decoctions and tinctures of datura.
angelica
It is also called female ginseng. The plant is mostly shown to treat the digestive tract, as a choleretic, in menstrual disorders. To relieve the conditions caused by worms, you can take an alcohol tincture, also called Angelika vodka:
- Pour 100 grams of dried crushed plant roots with a liter of vodka.
- Insist in the dark for 3-4 weeks.
- Take a full scoop three times throughout the day. The therapy lasts a month.
Angelica is prohibited for diabetics, pregnant women and women with uterine bleeding.
marigold
The plant is used as a regenerative agent after killing parasites. Its anti-inflammatory and bactericidal properties help treat wounds resulting from the activity of hookworm, whipworm, and tapeworm. A decoction or tea with calendula can be drunk while restoring the intestinal microflora to destroy pathogenic microorganisms.
Calendula should not be used by people with such ailments:
- low blood pressure;
- reduced contractility of the heart;
- Asthma.
Pregnancy, lactation, age under 12 are also contraindications to taking calendula. Refuse to take the drug if you use tranquilizers.
Worm Enema Recipes
Through enemas, it may be possible to destroy the helminths that live in the lower parts of the human gut. The contents of the enema usually do not reach those illegal immigrants who are settled higher up. The parasites that live in the liver or, God forbid, in the lungs, muscles, brain and other organs are completely indifferent to what kind of fluid is roaming the intestines and from which side it enters.
Therefore, enemas with a high probability of success relieve pinworms and sometimes roundworms.
Whipworms and hookworms feed on blood, adhere to the walls of the intestine, and are therefore less sensitive to such water treatments. The adult tapeworm won't be too surprised by these manipulations, so be patient if you're going to expel it with an enema.
Take enemas daily, preferably at bedtime, unless otherwise noted in the prescription. Try to keep the finished solution in the intestines for as long as possible, preferably within half an hour. If you experience a burning sensation, stop the process.
Enema with garlic
In the evening, peel a clove of garlic, finely chop, pour 250 ml of warm water. The cure is infused throughout the night. In the morning, be sure to strain the cake, warm it to a comfortable temperature and use it as an enema.
Enema with soda
Soda enema is very popular, but its effectiveness is very doubtful. In addition, frequent "cleaning" of the colon with soda quickly disrupts its microflora. What many consider parts of helminths at the exit are in the vast majority of cases exfoliated burnt areas of the mucous membrane.
If you really just want to do such an enema, then dilute a couple of tablespoons of soda in 800 ml of heated water and use as usual.
With garlic and onion
- To prepare such an enema, garlic and onions are taken in equal proportions - a tablespoon in crushed form.
- Pour a glass of boiled water and leave for a quarter of an hour.
- Then add a few tablespoons of squeezed lemon juice.
- Strain, pour the liquid into a liter of water at a comfortable temperature.
The course is one week. Make a cleansing enema before use.
Enema "Milk with Garlic"
Another enema based on garlic. Boil the head in a glass of milk until soft. After cooling, strain, give the entire volume with an enema in the rectum. It is recommended to carry out such manipulations within a week.
with vermouth
It is recommended to combine enemas with wormwood infusion with taking a decoction in the form of a drink. To prepare an enema, take two large spoons of dried flowers and pour four cups of boiling water. Wait for the infusion to cool to an acceptable temperature, then strain and use as directed.
with tansy
Well removes Ascaris from the intestine Phyto-Cocktail:
- Mix a spoonful of wormwood, tansy, chamomile.
- Pour the dry mixture with a glass of boiling water.
- Boil, cool, add chopped garlic clove.
- Leave for three to four hours, then strain and use as directed.
Oxygen enema from worms
This method is not very popular, but it is recognized by traditional medicine, but not widely used. Some types of worms do not tolerate high concentrations of oxygen, so oxygen is injected into the rectum to destroy them with a special device in a hospital. Oxygen is supplied in portions and in doses, so it is not possible to carry out such procedures at home.
Eucalyptus enema
Fairly exotic method with little studied efficiency. It involves the sequential introduction of enemas from a decoction of eucalyptus and lemon juice.
- Cool a liter of fresh eucalyptus decoction (60 grams of dry raw materials) and add 30 drops of eucalyptus oil.
- After defecation and removal of the composition of the previous enema, another microclyster is administered with half a glass of squeezed lemon juice.
The duration of therapy ranges from a week to 10 days.
What can pregnant and breastfeeding mothers do?
Worm infestation during pregnancy is the situation when it is almost impossible to do anything. In 95 out of 100 cases, the mother-to-be has to endure an unpleasant neighborhood until the child is born. This approach is due to the fact that most herbs that are dangerous for worms should not be taken during pregnancy. The most powerful anthelmintic plants - wormwood and tansy - are abortifacients, and many others are toxic to the developing fetus in large quantities. Doctors also do not recommend giving enemas while a woman is in an interesting position.
However, some folk remedies to combat helminths are available even during pregnancy. But it is better not to self-medicate, but to talk about the regime with the doctor. Most likely, he will tell you the right dosage of the necessary herbs, since traditional medicine confirms the effectiveness of many of them in the fight against worms. So, pregnant women can take according to the above schemes:
- Pumpkin seed;
- garlic, onion in pure form;
- chamomile decoction;
- carrot, beetroot fresh;
- Unlimited quantities of vegetables and fruit, provided there is no allergy.
Most of the time, the mother-to-be panics in vain. If you suspect the presence of parasites in the body, do not make your own diagnosis. Have the gynecologist refer you for tests to confirm or disprove suspicions, discuss the results, and follow their advice if the doctor recommends postpartum care.
Treatment with folk remedies is a rather risky occupation. Use only proven methods, do not experiment on your own health. Remember that the right way to get rid of worms is a laboratory method to determine their type, switching to a competent diet and taking herbal or synthetic preparations in consultation with a doctor. The course of treatment ends with the intake of sorbents and auxiliary substances that support liver function and the restoration of intestinal microflora.
