Although people nowadays have access to many hygiene products, as well as ways to process food, no one is immune from worm infections. These parasites can appear in the human body regardless of gender and age. In addition to the fact that awareness of the presence of parasites in your body is already unpleasant, this phenomenon can also be accompanied by a number of unpleasant symptoms and diseases.
Unlike many other diseases, it is impossible to completely protect yourself from worm infections through vaccination or special preparations. However, there are a number of effective folk remedies that can not only help you recover from the disease, but can also prevent it in the future. This recipe was formed thanks to many years of experience, and its effectiveness has been proven over time. There are special recipes for children and very young parents.
What is a worm?
To choose the right method of treating worms, you first need to know its species, which is only possible in laboratory conditions. So, if localization is taken as a criterion, then intestinal worms can be distinguished, as well as extraintestinal parasites that can live and multiply in blood vessels, bile ducts, and even in brain and lung tissues. It is also worth distinguishing between biological species. So, worm can refer to roundworm, tapeworm or flux.
Worms may differ depending on the stage of the life cycle, they are divided into biohelminths, geohelminths and infectious species.
- So, geohelminths are in the form of eggs and are in the soil. Without going through this stage, worms cannot enter the human body.
- Biohelminths emerge after they change some intermediate hosts. So, before infecting someone, they can visit the corpse of an animal.
- Infectious helminths are released into the external environment from the human body.
Symptoms of worm infection
The time for the first symptoms of infection with worms can vary from a few days to several months, depending on the type of parasite. The most common manifestation of the acute stage of helmentosis can be considered an allergic reaction. They appear in the form of a rash, which is accompanied by itching. Their area is constantly increasing. In addition, there is swelling of the lymph nodes, as well as tissue edema and pain in muscles and joints. Very difficult cases can be accompanied by severe cough, chest pain, shortness of breath, stool disorders, nausea, enlarged spleen, and even changes in blood composition.
Helminthiasis can eventually turn into a chronic stage. Symptoms can vary depending on which organ is affected by the worm. Often, this problem affects the intestines. If the number of individual parasites is not significant, then the disease may have no symptoms at all. Problems arise only in the case of large populations or large parasites. The main effect of helminths is precisely on the digestive system, complicating the process of absorption of nutrients, as well as the disposal of waste products. As a result, immunity is decreased and the work of all body systems is disrupted. When it comes to children, the symptoms of helmentosis can also spread to the nervous system.
Milk and garlic for worms
This recipe is probably best for kids. Usually 3-4 days of treatment is enough for the worms to disappear. During this time, it is recommended to give the child a glass of milk every day, in which there are three cloves of crushed garlic. Garlic plays a major role here, and milk only helps get rid of the unpleasant bitterness. Before bed, be sure to do a garlic enema.
There are several recipes for making enema solutions.
- The easiest way is to chop the garlic (1 clove), put it in a glass of water or milk and boil for 5 minutes. Then the liquid must be filtered.
- Another option is to boil a head of garlic in a glass of milk until soft. Once the milk has cooled, strain it and give it an enema. For adults, you can use the entire volume, and for children, half a glass (from 70 to 100 ml) is enough. It is important that once the enema is given, it must be held for as long as possible. An enema will help get rid of cream worms.
- To enhance the effect of the enema, you can take more garlic -based products at the same time. So, it is useful to drink a small amount of milk with the addition of 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 down with roasted milk. You need to give garlic a few hours until it acts on the gastrointestinal tract, after which they take a laxative. This is one of the most effective ways to cure worms, used by ancient healers.
The color of garlic
Garlic is a magic potion used to treat almost all diseases. In worm problems, it may be difficult to find a more effective remedy. And garlic will be very effective if taken in the form of tincture. To prepare it, you need 5 cloves of garlic and a glass of milk.
First, put the garlic through a press or grater to make gruel. Pour the resulting mixture with milk and boil for about 15 minutes. After removing the pan from the heat, cover with a lid and let the broth boil for a few hours. The resulting product can be used either in the form of a drink or in the form of an enema.
The course of taking garlic tincture is a week. At the same time, every day you need to drink 4 glasses (you can prepare the tincture at once throughout the day, by adding the amount of ingredients). If you decide to be treated with an enema, then you also need a glass of tincture (half of the norm will be enough for a child). It is better to perform the procedure before bed for a week.
Worm treatment with pumpkin seeds
Pumpkin seeds are a fairly effective remedy for overcoming helmentosis, and its treatment brings a less comfortable feeling compared to the garlic treatment. So, the seeds work well in combination with castor oil. For three days, you need to eat 25 unpeeled pumpkin seeds in 4 doses. Try to chew it as best you can. After an hour, you need to drink a teaspoon of castor oil. The course of treatment is three days.
For the next recipe, you need to grind in a coffee grinder or grind in a mortar 300 grams of peeled pumpkin seeds. Dilute the resulting powder with water until its mass resembles sour cream. At the end of cooking, add a tablespoon of honey. Please note that for adolescents, the amount of medication is halved, and for the treatment of small children, one -sixth of the adult norm is enough. In the morning on an empty stomach, you need to eat the resulting mass. In order for the effect of the drug on the body to remain consistent, try to prolong this process for an hour, gently chewing each part (this will not be difficult, because the mass of seeds with honey will taste quite pleasant). After three hours, you need to drink a laxative or do an enema. This method allows you to solve worm problems exactly in one day.
Enemas from worms
Because in most cases, worms are parasitic in the intestine, it is very appropriate to use local treatments such as enemas. Usually, the enema is given at night. And even if you take certain medications orally, you can’t do without this procedure.
The most effective is a garlic enema. Cut 5 cloves of garlic well, pour half a glass of water over it and boil the resulting mass. When the broth is cool, strain it and start the procedure. Remember that the solution for such an enema should not be completely cold. More suited to your body temperature.
In the fight against worms, tansy shows high efficiency. So, for a glass of boiling water, you need 20 grams of dry ingredients. In half an hour, the infusion will be completely ready and it is only necessary to strain it. As in the previous case, the product should be slightly warm. Attention! Keep in mind that the procedure with tansy should not be performed by pregnant and lactating women!
Since parasites cannot tolerate alkaline environments, it is very possible to use baking soda for enemas. Dissolve half a teaspoon of baking soda in a glass of water and heat a little of the resulting solution on the stove to 38-42 ºC. For children, this amount will suffice. And when treating adults, it is better to prepare two glasses of solution for one procedure.
Herbal remedies
Medicinal herbs are the basic foundation of traditional medicine, and therefore one cannot do without them in the treatment of worms. In addition to the fact that the medicinal plant is very effective, the procedure with it is quite gentle, and its treatment does not cause strong discomfort.
- Quite often, bitter wormwood is used in the treatment of worms. To prepare the infusion, you need to pour a glass of boiling water on a spoonful of hay. The signal that the medicine is ready is that the grass settles down, and the liquid itself will turn brown. The broth must be filtered. Immediately before meals (three times a day), drink half a glass of this medicine.
- The tansy infusion is prepared in a similar way, but the preparation time is increased to 4 hours. Also, since tansy is a poisonous plant, you can drink no more than one tablespoon of the medicine at a time. There should be 4 such techniques throughout the day. You can also do an enema with tansy, the recipe we gave above.
- If you are not sure whether you can prepare the infusion or decoction properly, try making a dry mix. Therefore, grind flax seeds, cloves and dried wormwood in equal parts in a coffee grinder. After each meal, you need to take half a teaspoon of the resulting powder.
- The most gentle method of getting rid of worms is the intake of 200 ml of fresh carrot juice every morning. (better on an empty stomach). Decoction of dried pomegranate peel, as well as chamomile tea, helps well.

So, the monastery tea is quite popular. In addition, almost every pharmaceutical company has its own collection of antiparasites. Their composition is almost the same, but the parts of certain medicinal plants may be different.
