Worm infection is not SARS or migraine, not everyone rushes to the hospital with it. After discovering an unpleasant surprise in the toilet in the morning, many do not even tell their loved ones about it. The main helper in solving the problem is the Internet and invisible online consultants. When an intimate question surprises you, it is better to turn to the closet of natural healers: herbs, vegetables, fruits that have been used for centuries to treat helminth infestations.
Folk remedies for the treatment of worms in adults even today are not inferior in popularity to synthetic drugs. It is important to know how to use them wisely so that the parasites are lime and do not harm yourself.
Tasks and goals of traditional medicine
The attitude towards alternative medicine for many is ambiguous or completely negative. On the one hand, this is due to the desire of people to follow new trends, removing the methods of the last century from their eyes. On the other hand, a growing number of fraudsters are promoting the treatment of psoriasis fractures and mouse fecal cancer.
In fact, herbal remedies have incredible power when in the hands of a knowledgeable person. Because they are 100% natural, they do not carry such a burden on the liver as chemical agents. But their pointless use often leads to side effects. In addition, each plant has a number of contraindications that are difficult to ignore. There are people with allergies even to black tea, not to mention poisonous herbs.
This also applies to medicinal plants that kill helminths. Most of them 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 acute "chronicle";
- pregnant and lactating women;
- young children up to two years, and some herbs even for teenagers up to 12-18 years.
Before expelling worms from a person at home, pay attention to how the plant affects blood pressure, liver and kidney function.
Folk recipes for worms for an adult
When resorting to the treatment of helminthiasis with folk methods, you should understand that the doses indicated in the recipes are very conditional. A major disadvantage of herbal medicines is that they do not have standards for standardization. Before getting rid of worms with folk remedies, keep in mind that the patient's weight and intensity of the invasion are not taken into account in prescriptions.
Removal of parasites with vegetables (fiber)
This is not the method itself, but the basis of proper nutrition in intestinal helminthiasis. The diet during the elimination of intestinal parasites should include the intake of a loading dose of raw vegetables, vegetables, cereals. 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 taken pumpkin, carrots, beets, fresh dill. Add pineapple (not canned) for dessert. But from flour, baking, alcohol for the period of treatment will have to give up. It is important to follow a drinking regimen during therapy.
Carrot juice and fresh carrots
It is believed that all carrots, from the root to the top of the leaf, contain components that are dangerous to worms. Chewing greens to kill parasites is not necessary, but drinking a glass of freshly squeezed juice will be very useful. Repeat two more doses at bedtime. You can add honey, milk to improve the taste.
There is also such an interesting recipe:
- Take equal amounts of carrot juice, beets, cognac, liquid honey.
- To mix thoroughly.
- Take one incomplete glass before meals for a week.
If you follow the Indian system of Ayurveda, then to cleanse the body of intestinal worms, carrots can be consumed in its pure form. But it is important to chew fresh vegetables more than once a day and for two or three days to switch to a mono-diet consisting exclusively of one carrot. It can be grated with apple or beetroot, made in Korean, mixed with honey, the main thing is not to heat the vegetables.
Remember that carrots are quite a powerful allergen. In addition, this product in such shock doses is unacceptable for human use:
- with diabetes;
- with diseases of the thyroid gland;
- inflammation of the small intestine.
pumpkin seeds
This herbal product is considered one of the leaders in terms of effectiveness in combating intestinal worms. It is better not to buy ready-made seeds, but to prepare them yourself.
- During the season, buy a large pumpkin, clean the seeds.
- Dry and fry lightly in a pan or 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 in a mortar or coffee grinder. For treatment you will need at once or a small handful of whole seeds, or a tablespoon of powder. Take the medicine after meals and after another hour drink a spoonful of castor oil. Removal of parasites in this way will take no more than a week.
Flaxseed infusion
Flax seeds have anthelmintic properties. Ready-made pharmacy oil is often used to fight parasites, but its effectiveness is quite questionable. Get rid of flaxseed worms, perhaps by applying the recipe:
- Grind the seeds in a coffee grinder or mortar, take 2 full tablespoons of the finished powder.
- Pour a liter of boiling water, cook for a quarter of an hour under the lid.
- Cool, strain the cake, add a spoonful of aloe.
- Take 2 tablespoons before meals three times a day.
The broth is prepared only from fresh seeds (these are those that have been stored for less than a year), aged in the refrigerator for no more than 4 days. If aloe juice is not at hand, the drink is prepared without it.
Refrain from taking this and any other flaxseed medicine if you have:
- inflammatory processes in the gallbladder;
- gallstones;
- kidney and urinary tract diseases (when using flax, you should drink plenty of fluids).
Walnut tincture
Worms do not like everything that is bitter, including walnut-green "crusts". The fruits themselves do not have such pronounced anthelmintic properties. To destroy all types of helminths, prepare a tincture:
- Take the peels of three dozen nuts (green, not shells), pour a liter of vodka on the floor.
- Insist 40 days, drink a full teaspoon daily on an empty stomach.
In the same way you can prepare a tincture of the partitions inside the nut. You should not drink fluids for those who suffer from stool disorders or increased blood clotting.
Decoction of chamomile
Chamomile is an excellent sedative and antiseptic. It is most often used as an additional component in aggressive anthelmintic decoctions, not in pure form. But a decoction or decoction of these sunny flowers can be used as an anthelmintic for young children. Women in position and breastfeeding a few glasses of this drink will also be helpful.
Garlic
The most common method of dealing with worms, going back to the Middle Ages, is garlic. At that time, there was a saying in all languages that meant one thing: if garlic and onions disappear, then humanity will be eaten by parasites. The effect on phytoncides worms, which are rich in spicy fruits, is equal to the effect of high temperature on viruses.
To prevent helminth infection, you can supplement the diet with a few cloves of garlic a day. To destroy the parasites that have settled in the body, use the recipe:
- Squeeze a glass and a half 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 a refrigerator.
You can make a decoction with milk:
- Cut half a head of garlic or pass through a garlic press.
- Pour the resulting mass with a glass of milk and cook for a quarter of an hour.
- Cool, strain the cake, take four doses per spoon during the day.
onion tincture
Onions are used against worms along with garlic. It can be eaten baked, raw, but it is better to prepare a tincture:
- Finely chopped onion fills half the volume of 1, 5-liter bottle.
- Fill with vodka.
- Insist 10 days, take a full spoonful twice a day.
Beware, this drug is heavy on the liver.
Wormwood
A powerful remedy against all types of helminths. The anthelmintic properties of the grass are due to the content of thujone in it. Tinctures and decoctions can cancel a strong invasion, and in combination with other components have a stronger effect. The easiest way is to use wormwood in dry form without heat treatment. The dry collection of wormwood should be ground in a coffee grinder, taken in three doses of one tablespoon per day. Dilute the product with water before use.
All medicines with wormwood are prohibited for pregnant women, young children, people with peptic ulcer.
Hemp and linseed oil
These and other (olive, sunflower) oils are best used not as a primary but as an adjunct treatment. Drinking them in their pure form is a risky endeavor filled with intestinal disorders. It is better to use oils in the form of salad dressings in the daily diet or as a laxative after taking basic medical drugs.
tansy
A faithful companion of wormwood in terms of properties and composition. Tansy also contains thujone, worms are afraid of it. It is allowed to use dried tansy in the same way as wormwood, you can prepare a decoction. To do this, pour two tablespoons of the pharmacy collection with boiling water, cook for several minutes. Take half a glass before meals.
"Troychatka" (wormwood, tansy and clove buds)
On the best side, such a remedy has proven itself against parasites living in the gut. The recipe was developed by a famous specialist in traditional medicine. For cooking you will need:
- 10 parts of tansy;
- 5 pieces of dried cloves;
- 3 parts wormwood.

Buttercup
Another folk remedy for worms for humans. Non-specific, but also effective. This plant with huge (up to one and a half meters) leaves is considered ornamental. Buying buttercups in a drugstore can be problematic, but if it grows in the garden, try using it as an anthelmintic.
- Dry, grind the leaves of the plant.
- Pour a tablespoon of the resulting product with a glass of boiling water.
- Wrap the container, allow the liquid to 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 care!
ginger
This oriental spice is also called horned root. It contains the substance gingerol, which makes ginger bitter. It is to him that the spicy agent owes its anthelmintic properties. But experts point to the fact that it is more appropriate to use ginger as a preventive measure, as its effect is most powerful on the larvae of parasites.
To prevent infection, you can eat pickled ginger or a decoction of fresh root chips. By the way, if you add lemon and honey to it, it will also be a sure way to prevent viral diseases.
Alcoholic tincture of 0. 5 kg of grated root and half a liter of vodka is also good. Infuse the drug for two weeks, take a spoonful before meals.

Dope grass
Some experts believe that this plant is able to remove parasites from atypical places: lungs, eyes. To do this, they recommend inhaling grass smoke. Little is known about the effectiveness of this method. Only one thing is certain - you can not drink potions and tinctures of dope.
Angelica
It is also called female ginseng. The plant is usually indicated for the treatment of the digestive tract, as a choleretic agent, in menstrual disorders. To alleviate the conditions caused by worms, you can take an alcoholic tincture, also called angelica vodka:
- Pour 100 grams of dried, crushed root of the plant with a liter of vodka.
- Insist in the dark for 3-4 weeks.
- Take a full spoon three times a day. The therapy lasts a month.
Angelica is forbidden for diabetics, pregnant women, women with uterine bleeding.
marigold
The plant is used as a regenerating agent after the destruction of parasites. Its anti-inflammatory and bactericidal properties will help to heal wounds resulting from the activity of hookworms, whips, tapeworms. You can drink a decoction or tea with calendula, while restoring the intestinal microflora, to destroy pathogenic microorganisms.
Marigold should not be used by people with the following diseases:
- low blood pressure;
- decreased cardiac contractility;
- asthma.
Pregnancy, lactation, age under 12 are also contraindications to marigold. Refuse to take the drug if you use sedatives.
Recipes for worm enemas
Enemas can kill helminths that live in the lower parts of the human gut. For those illegal immigrants who have settled higher, the enema content is usually not enough. As for the parasites that live in the liver or, God forbid, in the lungs, muscles, brain and other organs, they are completely indifferent to what fluid wanders in the intestines and from which side it got into them.
Therefore, enemas are more likely to relieve pinworms and sometimes roundworms.
Whipworms and hookworms feed on blood sticking to the walls of the gut, making them less sensitive to such water treatments. The adult tapeworm will not be very surprised by these manipulations, so if you want to drive it away with an enema, be patient.
Make enemas every day, preferably at bedtime, unless otherwise specified in the recipe. Try to keep the finished solution in the intestine as long as possible, preferably within half an hour. If you feel burning, stop the procedure.
Enema with garlic
In the evening, peel a clove of garlic, chop finely, pour 250 ml of warm water. The drug is infused overnight. In the morning, be sure to strain the cake, heat to a comfortable temperature and use it as an enema.
Enema with soda
Enema with soda is very popular, but its effectiveness is very questionable. In addition, frequent "cleaning" of the colon with soda quickly disrupts its microflora. What in the end many consider to be parts of helminths, in most situations, exfoliated burned areas of the mucosa.
If you still really want to make just such an enema, then dilute a few tablespoons of soda in 800 ml of heated water, use it in the usual way.
With garlic and onion
- To prepare such an enema, garlic and onion are taken in equal proportions - a tablespoon in crushed form.
- Pour a glass of boiling water, boil 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, enter the entire volume with an enema in the rectum. It is recommended that such manipulations be performed within a week.
with wormwood
It is recommended that the enemas with wormwood infusion be combined with a decoction in the form of a drink. To prepare an enema, take two tablespoons of dried flowers, pour four cups of boiling water. Wait until the infusion has cooled to an acceptable temperature, then strain, use as directed.
with tansy
Good removes roundworms from the intestines 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.
- Insist for three to four hours and then strain, use as directed.
Oxygen enema from worms
This method is not very popular, but is recognized by traditional medicine, but is not widely used. Some types of worms do not tolerate high concentrations of oxygen, therefore, to destroy them with a special device in a hospital, oxygen is injected into the rectum. Oxygen is delivered in portions and in doses, so it is not possible to do such procedures at home.
Eucalyptus enema
Quite an exotic method with little studied effectiveness. It involves the sequential administration of enemas from a decoction of eucalyptus and lemon juice.
- Cool one liter of fresh decoction of eucalyptus (60 grams of dry raw materials), add to it 30 drops of eucalyptus oil.
- After the act of defecation and removal of the composition of the previous enema, another microclyster with half a glass of squeezed lemon juice is applied.
The duration of therapy varies from one week to 10 days.
What can pregnant and lactating mothers do?
Worm infestation during pregnancy is a situation where it is almost impossible to do anything. In 95 cases out of 100, the expectant mother will have to endure an unpleasant neighborhood until the child is born. This approach is due to the fact that most herbs that are dangerous to worms should not be taken during pregnancy. Thus, the most powerful anthelmintic plants - wormwood and tansy, are abortive, and many others are toxic to the developing fetus in large quantities. Doctors also do not recommend doing enemas while the woman is in an interesting position.
But some folk remedies to control helminths still remain available 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 correct dosage of the necessary herbs, as 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 seeds;
- garlic, onion in pure form;
- chamomile decoction;
- carrots, fresh beets;
- vegetables, fruits in unlimited quantities, provided there is no allergy.
Most often, the expectant mother panics in vain. If you suspect the presence of parasites in the body, do not diagnose yourself. Get a referral from a gynecologist for tests to confirm or rule out suspicions, discuss the results, and if your doctor recommends postpartum treatment, follow his advice.
Folk remedies are quite a risky business. Use only proven methods, do not experiment on your own health. Remember that the best way to get rid of worms is a laboratory method to determine the type, switch to a competent diet and take herbal or synthetic preparations after consulting a doctor. The course of treatment ends with the intake of sorbents and aids that support the functioning of the liver, the restoration of the intestinal microflora.
