Worm infection is not SARS or migraine, not everyone rushes to the hospital with it. After finding an unpleasant surprise in the toilet in the morning, many do not even tell their relatives about it. The main helper in solving the problem is the internet and invisible online consultants. When you have an intimate question, it is better to turn to the pantry of natural healers: medicinal herbs, vegetables, berries, which have been used for centuries to treat helminthic invasions.
Folk remedies for 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 calcareous and not harm themselves.
Tasks and goals of traditional medicine
The attitude towards alternative medicine for many is ambiguous or completely negative. On the one hand, it is due to the desire of people to follow new trends, removing from sight the methods of the last century. On the other hand, an increasing number of fraudsters are advertising the treatment of psoriasis fractures and mouse fecal cancer.
In fact, herbal remedies are incredibly powerful. Because they are 100% natural, they do not carry such a load on the liver as chemical agents. But their reckless use often leads to side effects. In addition, each plant has a number of contraindications that are difficult to ignore. There are people who are allergic even to black tea, let alone poisonous plants.
This also applies to medicinal plants that kill helminths. Most of them are slightly poisonous, others irritate the digestive tract, some are toxic. Therefore, almost all herbal remedies against worms can not be taken:
- persons with diseases of the digestive system in the acute phase or with worsening "chronic";
- pregnant and lactating women;
- small children up to two years, and some plants even for teenagers up to 12-18 years.
Before you get rid of worms at home, pay attention to how the plant affects blood pressure, liver and kidney function.
Folk recipes for worms for adults
When resorting to the treatment of helminthiasis by folk methods, you must understand that the doses listed in the recipes are very conditional. The big disadvantage of herbal remedies is that they do not have standardization standards. Before you get rid of worms folk remedies, keep in mind that the weight of the patient and the intensity of the invasion are not taken into account in the prescriptions.
Removal of parasites by vegetables (fibers)
This, rather, is not the method itself, but the basis of a proper diet for intestinal helminthiasis. The diet during the elimination of intestinal parasites should include the intake of a shock dose of raw vegetables, greens, 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 pumpkin, carrot, beetroot, fresh dill. For dessert, add pineapple (not canned). But from flour, baking, alcohol during treatment will have to give up. It is important to adhere to 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 cabbage to kill parasites is not mandatory, but a glass of freshly squeezed juice will be of great help. Repeat two more doses before bed. You can add honey, milk to improve the taste.
There is such an interesting recipe:
- Take equal amounts of carrot juice, beets, cognac, liquid honey.
- Stir well.
- Take an 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 eaten in pure form. But it is important to bite fresh vegetables more than once a day, and 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 that vegetables are not heat-treated.
Remember that carrots are quite a strong allergen. In addition, this product in such shock doses is unacceptable for people to use:
- with diabetes;
- with thyroid disease;
- inflammation of the small intestine.
pumpkin seeds
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.
- In season, buy a large pumpkin, clean the seeds.
- Dry and lightly fry in a pan or oven.
- Peel a squash, grate it and squeeze the juice.
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 the same time either a small handful of whole seeds or a tablespoon of powder. Take the medicine after a meal, and after another hour drink a spoonful of castor oil. It will not take more than a week to remove the parasite in this way.
Flaxseed infusion
Flaxseed has anthelmintic properties. Ready-made apothecary oil is often used to fight parasites, but its effectiveness is rather doubtful. Get rid of worms with flaxseed, perhaps by applying a recipe:
- Grind the seeds in a coffee grinder or mortar, take 2 full tablespoons of the prepared powder.
- Pour a liter of barely boiling water, cook for a quarter of an hour under the lid.
- Cool, strain the cake, add a tablespoon of aloe.
- Take 2 tablespoons three times daily before meals.
The soup is prepared only from fresh seeds (these are those that are 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 or any other flaxseed medicine if you have:
- inflammatory processes in the gallbladder;
- gallstones;
- kidney and urinary tract diseases (when using flax, you need to drink plenty of fluids).
Walnut tincture
Worms do not like everything that is bitter, including nut green "bark". The fruits themselves do not have such pronounced anthelmintic properties. To destroy all types of helminths, prepare a tincture:
- Take the peel of three dozen nuts (green, not shell), 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 walnut. You should not drink fluids for those who suffer from stool disorders or increased blood clotting.
Chamomile decoration
Chamomile is an excellent sedative and antiseptic. It is most often used as an additional component in aggressive anthelmintic decoctions, and not in pure form. But an infusion or decoction of these sunflowers can be used as an anthelmintic for young children. It will also be good for pregnant women who are breastfeeding a couple of cups of this drink.
Garlic
The most common way to fight worms, dating back to the Middle Ages, is garlic. At that time, a proverb was uttered in all languages, which meant one thing: if garlic and onion disappear, then humanity will be eaten by parasites. The effect of phytoncides, which are rich in spices, on worms is equal to the effect of high temperature on viruses.
To prevent helminth infection, you can supplement your diet with a few cloves of garlic a day. To destroy the 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.
- Cook in a water bath for half an hour, occasionally removing the foam.
- Take a full dessert spoon before meals.
Store the product in the refrigerator.
With milk you can make a decoction:
- Chop half a head of garlic or strain 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 teaspoon during the day.
onion tincture
Onions are used against worms along with garlic. It can be consumed baked, raw, but it is better to prepare a tincture:
- Finely chopped onion fill half the volume of the bottle of 1, 5 liters.
- Fill with vodka.
- Insist 10 days, take twice a day for a full spoon.
Be careful, this medicine is hard on the liver.
Wormwood
A powerful anthelmintic of all kinds. The anthelmintic properties of grass are due to the content of thujone in it. Tinctures and decoctions can reverse 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 per tablespoon per day. Before use, dilute the product with water.
All medicines with wormwood are forbidden to pregnant women, small children, people with peptic ulcer.
Hemp and flaxseed oil
This and other (olive, sunflower) oils are best used not as the main, but as an accompanying treatment. Drinking them in pure form is a risky endeavor, full of 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 medications.
Dance
A faithful companion of wormwood in properties and composition. Tansy also contains thujone, worms are afraid of it. It is allowed to use dry 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 a few minutes. Take half a cup before meals.
"Troychatka" (buds of wormwood, tansy and cloves)
At best, such a drug has been shown 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 pieces of dried cloves;
- 3 parts wormwood.
Mix all ingredients, grind to a powder. Use dry or diluted with water according to the scheme:

- Cool, strain, drink a tablespoon after (not before, like most medicines) meals for a few weeks.

Butterbur
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 decorative. Buying a butterfly at the pharmacy can be problematic, but if it grows in the garden, try using it as an anthelmintic.
- Dry, grind the leaves of the plant.
- Soak a spoonful of the obtained product in a glass of boiling water.
- Wrap the container, allow the liquid to cool.
- Take a dessert spoon 4 times a day.
Unlike the other plants described above, this plant is poisonous. Funds based on that should be taken with great caution!
Ginger
This oriental spice is also called horned root. It contains the substance gingerol, which makes ginger bitter. The spice medicine owes its anthelmintic qualities to him. But experts pay attention to the fact that ginger is more useful to use as a preventive measure, because its effect is strongest on parasite larvae.
To prevent infection, you can eat sour ginger or a decoction of fresh chips. Otherwise, if you add lemon and honey to it, it will be a safe 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 medicine for two weeks, take a spoonful before meals.

- Take a dry mixture with water. The course does not last longer than a week.
You cannot use this spice for people:

Datura grass
Some experts believe that this plant can 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 for sure - you can't drink Dature decoctions and tinctures.
Angelica
It is also called female ginseng. The plant is usually indicated for the treatment of the digestive tract, as a choleretic, in menstrual disorders. To alleviate the condition caused by worms, you can take an alcoholic tincture, also called angelica 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 spoonful three times a day. Therapy lasts a month.

Calendula
The plant is used as a means of regeneration after the destruction of parasites. Its anti-inflammatory and bactericidal properties will help in the treatment of wounds caused by the action of hookworms, whips, tapeworms. Marigold tea or tea can be drunk while restoring the intestinal microflora, in order to destroy pathogenic microorganisms.
Marigold should not be used by people with the following diseases:
- low blood pressure;
- decreased heart contractility;
- asthma.
Pregnancy, breastfeeding, age under 12 are also contraindications for taking marigolds. Refuse to take the drug if you use sedatives.
Worm enema recipes
Through an enema it is possible to destroy helminths that live in the lower parts of the human intestine. To those illegal immigrants who have settled more, the contents of the enema usually do not reach. As for the parasites that live in the liver or, God forbid, in the lungs, muscles, brain and other organs, they don't care what kind of fluid wanders in the intestines and from which side it got to them.
Therefore, an enema with a high probability of success releases pinworms, and sometimes roundworms.
Whipworms and hookworms feed on blood, sticking to the intestinal walls, so they are less sensitive to such aqueous procedures. The adult tapeworm will not be too surprised by these manipulations, so if you want to get rid of it with an enema, be patient.
Enema daily, preferably at bedtime, unless otherwise stated in the recipe. Try to keep the finished solution in the intestines as long as possible, preferably within half an hour. If you feel a burning sensation, stop the procedure.
Enema with garlic
In the evening, peel a clove of garlic, finely chop, pour 250 ml of warm water. The drug is infused overnight. In the morning, be sure to strain the cake, heat it to a comfortable temperature and use it as an enema.
Enema with soda
Soda enema is very popular, but its effectiveness is very questionable. In addition, frequent "cleansing" of the colon with soda quickly disrupts its microflora. What many take for parts of the helminth, in the vast majority of situations, is the peeling of burnt areas of the mucous membrane.
If you still really want to make just such an enema, then dilute a couple of tablespoons of soda in 800 ml of heated water, use 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, leave to cook for a quarter of an hour.
- Then add a couple of tablespoons of squeezed lemon juice.
- Strain, pour the liquid into a liter of water of pleasant temperature.
The course is a week. Make an cleansing enema before use.
Enema "milk with garlic"
Another garlic-based enema. Cook the head in a glass of milk until soft. After cooling, strain, enter the entire volume with an enema into the rectum. It is recommended to perform such manipulations within a week.
with wormwood
It is advisable to combine enemas with wormwood infusion with taking a decoction in the form of a drink. To prepare the 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 and use as directed.
with tansy
Good removes ascaris from the intestines phyto-cocktail:
- Mix a tablespoon of wormwood, tansy, chamomile.
- Pour a glass of boiling water over the dry mixture.
- Boil, cool, add chopped garlic cloves.
- Infuse for three to four hours, then, strain, use as directed.
Oxygen enema from worms
This method is not very popular, but it is recognized by traditional medicine, however, it is not widely used. Some types of worms do not tolerate high concentrations of oxygen, so in order to destroy them with a special device in a hospital, oxygen is injected into the rectum. Oxygen is delivered in portions and dosed, so such procedures cannot be done at home.
Eucalyptus enema
Quite an exotic method with little studied efficiency. It involves the successive introduction of enemas from eucalyptus decoction and lemon juice.
- Cool a liter of fresh eucalyptus decoction (60 grams of dry raw materials), add 30 drops of eucalyptus oil.
- After the act of defecation and removal of the composition of the previous enema, another microenema is given with half a glass of squeezed lemon juice.
The duration of therapy is from one week to 10 days.
What can pregnant and breastfeeding women do?
Worm infestation in pregnancy is a situation when it is almost impossible to do something. In 95 out of 100 cases, the future mother will have to endure an uncomfortable neighborhood until the moment the child is born. This approach is due to the fact that most plants that are dangerous for worms should not be taken during pregnancy. Thus, the most powerful anthelmintic plants - wormwood and tansy, are abortifacient, and many others are toxic to the developing fetus in large quantities. Doctors also do not recommend giving enemas while the woman is in an interesting position.
But some folk remedies to combat helminths are still available during pregnancy. But it is better not to self-medicate, but to discuss the regimen with a doctor. Most likely, he will tell you the correct dose of necessary plants, because traditional medicine confirms the effectiveness of many of them in the fight against worms. Therefore, 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 are no allergies.
Most often, the future mother panics in vain. If you suspect the presence of parasites in the body, do not diagnose it yourself. Get a referral from a gynecologist for tests to confirm or refute suspicions, discuss the results, and if your doctor recommends postpartum treatment, listen to his advice.
Treatment with folk remedies is quite a risky occupation. Use only proven methods, do not experiment on your own health. Remember that the most correct way to get rid of earthworms is a laboratory method to determine the species, switch to a competent diet and take herbal or synthetic preparations in consultation with your doctor. The course of treatment ends with the intake of sorbents and auxiliaries that support liver function, restoration of intestinal microflora.
