Infection with worms is not SARS or migraine, not everyone rushes to the hospital with this. Having found an unpleasant surprise in the bathroom in the morning, many do not even tell their relatives about it. The main assistant in solving the problem is the Internet and invisible online consultants. When an intimate question takes you by surprise, it's best to turn to the pantry of natural healers: herbs, vegetables, berries, which have been used for centuries to treat helminth 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 lime, and you do not harm yourself.
Tasks and objectives of traditional medicine.
The attitude towards alternative medicine is ambiguous or completely negative for many. On the one hand, this is due to the desire of people to follow new trends, throwing the methods of the last century out of their eyes. On the other hand, the number of scammers advertising the treatment of fractures with psyllium and cancer with mouse droppings is increasing.
In fact, herbal preparations have incredible power when in the hands of a well-informed person. Being 100% natural, they do not carry as much burden on the liver as chemical agents. But its thoughtless use often entails the manifestation of side effects. Also, any plant has a number of contraindications that are difficult to ignore. There are people with allergies even to black tea, much less to poisonous herbs.
This also applies to medicinal plants that kill helminths. Most of them are slightly toxic, others irritate the digestive tract, some are toxic. Therefore, almost all herbal remedies against worms cannot be taken:
- people with diseases of the digestive system in the acute stage or with an exacerbated "chronic" one;
- pregnant and lactating women;
- young children up to two years old, and some herbs even for adolescents up to 12-18 years old.
Before expelling worms from a person at home, pay attention to how the plant affects blood pressure, liver and kidney function.
Folk recipes from worms for an adult
Resorting to the treatment of helminthiasis with folk methods, you need to understand that the dosages indicated in the recipes are very conditional. A big drawback of herbal remedies is that they do not have standardization standards. Before getting rid of worms with folk remedies, keep in mind that the weight of the patient and the intensity of the invasion are not taken into account in the recipes.
Deworm with vegetables (fiber)
This is, rather, not the method itself, but the basis of proper nutrition for intestinal helminthiasis. The diet during the elimination of intestinal parasites should include the intake of a loading dose of raw vegetables, greens, cereals. It is good to include citrus fruits in the diet - worms do not like them. The basis of nutrition at this time should be taken pumpkin, carrots, beets, fresh dill. Add pineapple (not canned) for dessert. But from flour, baking, alcohol during the treatment period will have to be abandoned. Throughout therapy, it is important to observe the drinking regimen.
Carrot juice and fresh carrots
All carrots, from the root to the tip of the leaf, are believed to contain components that are dangerous to worms. Chewing vegetables to kill parasites is optional, but drinking a glass of freshly squeezed juice will go a long way. Repeat two more doses before bed. 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.
- Stir well.
- Take an incomplete glass before meals for a week.
If you follow the Indian system of Ayurveda, to cleanse the body of intestinal worms, carrots can be eaten in their pure form. But it is important to gnaw on a fresh vegetable more than once a day and for two or three days to go on a mono-diet consisting exclusively of a carrot. It can be grated with apple or beets, made in Korean, mixed with honey, the main thing is not to thermally process the vegetable.
Remember that carrots are a fairly powerful allergen. Also, this product in such shock doses is unacceptable for people to 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 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 in the oven.
- Remove the hard shell, leaving a thin green film.
It is permissible to store the seeds in this form, you can grind them in a mortar or coffee grinder to a powder. For treatment, you will need at the same time a small handful of whole seeds or a tablespoon of powder. Take the remedy after a meal and after another hour, drink a tablespoon of castor oil. It will not take more than a week to eliminate the parasites in this way.
Flax seed infusion
Flax seeds have anthelmintic properties. Often, ready-made pharmacy oil is used to combat parasites, but its effectiveness is rather doubtful. Get rid of worms with flaxseed, perhaps applying the 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 from the cake, add a tablespoon 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 kept for less than a year), aged in the refrigerator for no more than 4 days. If aloe juice is not available, the drink is prepared without it.
Refrain from taking this and any other flaxseed remedy if you have:
- inflammatory processes in the gallbladder;
- gallbladder stones;
- diseases of the kidneys and urinary tract (when using flax, you need to drink plenty of fluids).
walnut tincture
Worms don't like anything that's bitter, including nutty-green "scabs. "The fruits themselves do not have such pronounced anthelmintic properties. To destroy all kinds of helminths, prepare a tincture:
- Take the shells of three dozen walnuts (green, not in the shell), pour a liter of vodka on the floor.
- Insist 40 days, drink a full teaspoon a day on an empty stomach.
In the same way, you can prepare a tincture from the partitions inside the nut. You should not drink liquids for those who suffer from stool disorders or increased blood clotting.
chamomile decoction
Chamomile is an excellent sedative and antiseptic. It is most often used as an additional component in aggressive anthelmintic 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 will also benefit from a couple of cups of this drink.
Garlic
The most common method of combating worms, dating back to the Middle Ages, is garlic. At that time, a proverb was pronounced in all languages, which meant one thing: if garlic and onions disappear, parasites will eat humanity. The effect on phytoncide worms, which are rich in pungent fruits, is matched by the effect of high temperatures on viruses.
To prevent helminth infection, you can supplement the diet with a couple of cloves of garlic daily. 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.
- 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:

- Fill with vodka.
- Insist 10 days, take a full tablespoon twice a day.
Be careful, this remedy is hard on the liver.
Wormwood
A powerful remedy against helminths of all kinds. The anthelmintic properties of the herb are due to the content of thujone in it. Tinctures and decoctions can counteract a strong invasion, and in combination with other components have a stronger effect. The easiest way is to use wormwood in dry form, without thermal processing. The dried wormwood harvest should be ground in a coffee grinder, taken in three one-tablespoon doses per day. Before use, dilute the product with water.
Any medicine with wormwood is prohibited for pregnant women, young children, people with peptic ulcer.
Hemp and flaxseed oil
These and other oils (olive, sunflower) are best used not as the main treatment, but as a concomitant treatment. Drinking them in their pure form is a risky undertaking, fraught with intestinal disorders. The oils are best used in the form of salad dressings in the daily diet or as a laxative after taking basic medications.
tansy
A faithful companion of wormwood in terms of properties and composition. Tansy also contains thujone, the worms are afraid of it. It is permissible 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, boil for several minutes. Take half a cup before meals.
"Troychatka" (wormwood, tansy and clove buds)

butterbur
Another folk remedy for worms for humans. Not specific, but also effective. This plant with huge leaves (up to one and a half meters) is considered decorative. Buying butterbur at a pharmacy can be troublesome, but if it grows in the garden, try using it as an anthelmintic.
- Dry, grind the leaves of the plant.
- Soak a tablespoon of the resulting product with a glass of boiling water.
- Wrap the dish, let the liquid cool down.
- 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 horned root. It contains the substance gingerol, which is why ginger is bitter. It is to him that the pungent remedy owes its anthelmintic qualities. But experts pay attention to the fact that it is more convenient to use ginger as a preventive measure, since its effect is more 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 safe way to prevent viral diseases.
An 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 tablespoon before meals.

datura grass
Some experts believe that this plant can eliminate parasites from atypical places: lungs, eyes. To do this, they recommend breathing the smoke of the herb. Little is known about the effectiveness of this method. Only one thing is certain: you can not drink Datura decoctions and tinctures.
Angelica
It is also called female ginseng. The plant is usually shown for the treatment of the digestive tract, as a choleretic agent, for menstrual irregularities. To alleviate the conditions caused by worms, you can take an alcohol tincture, also called angelica vodka:
- Pour 100 grams of dried and crushed plant root with a liter of vodka.
- Insist in the dark for 3-4 weeks.
- Take a full spoon three times during the day. The therapy lasts a month.
Angelica is prohibited for diabetics, pregnant women, women with uterine bleeding.
Calendula
The plant is used as a regenerating agent after the destruction of parasites. Its anti-inflammatory and bactericidal properties will help treat wounds resulting from the activity of hookworms, whipworms and tapeworms. 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 cardiac contractility;
- asthma.
Pregnancy, lactation period, age under 12 years are also contraindications to taking calendula. Refuse to take the medicine if you use sedatives.
Worm Enema Recipes
Through enemas, it may be possible to destroy the helminths that live in the lower parts of the human intestine. For those illegal immigrants who settled higher up, the content of the enema 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 kind of fluid wanders through the intestines and from which side it entered.
Therefore, enemas with a high probability of success relieve pinworms, and sometimes pinworms.
Whipworms and hookworms feed on blood and stick to the intestinal walls, therefore they are less sensitive to such water procedures. The adult tapeworm will not be too surprised by these manipulations, so if you want to expel it with an enema, be patient.
Do enemas every day, 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.
garlic enema
In the evening, peel a clove of garlic, finely chop, pour 250 ml of warm water. The remedy is infused all 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
The soda enema is very popular, but its effectiveness is very doubtful. Also, frequent "cleansing" of the large intestine with soda quickly disrupts its microflora. What on the way out many take for parts of helminths, in the vast majority of situations, are exfoliated burnt areas of the mucosa.
If you still want to do such an enema, then dilute a couple of tablespoons of soda in 800 ml of hot water, use it in the usual way.
With garlic and onion
- To prepare such an enema, garlic and onion are taken in equal proportions - one tablespoon crushed.
- Pour a glass of boiled water, let stand 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 at a comfortable temperature.
The course is one week. Before use, do a cleansing enema.
Enema "milk with garlic"
Another garlic-based enema. Boil the head in a glass of milk until it softens. After cooling, strain, enter the entire volume with an enema in the rectum. Such manipulations are recommended to be carried out within a week.
with absinthe
It is recommended to combine enemas with infusion of wormwood with the intake of a decoction in the form of a drink. To prepare an enema, take two large tablespoons of dried flowers, pour four cups of boiling water. Wait until the brew has cooled to an acceptable temperature, then strain, use as directed.
with tansy
Well removes phytococktail ascarids from the intestines:
- Mix a tablespoon of wormwood, tansy, chamomile.
- Pour the dry mixture with a glass of boiling water.
- Boil, cool, add minced garlic clove.
- Infuse for three to four hours, then strain, use as directed.
Oxygen enema from worms
This method is not very popular, but recognized by traditional medicine, however, it is not widely used. Some types of worms do not tolerate a high concentration of oxygen, therefore, to destroy them with a special device in a hospital hospital, oxygen is injected into the rectum. Oxygen is supplied in portions and dosed, so it is not possible to carry out such procedures at home.
eucalyptus enema
A rather exotic method with little studied efficiency. It is about 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), add 30 drops of eucalyptus oil.
- After the act of defecation and elimination of the composition of the previous enema, another microclyster is administered with half a glass of squeezed lemon juice.
The duration of therapy varies from a week to 10 days.
What can pregnant and lactating mothers do?
Worm infestation during pregnancy is the situation where it is almost impossible to do anything. In 95 out of 100 cases, the expectant mother will have to put up with an unpleasant neighborhood until the moment of the child's birth. This approach is due to the fact that most of the herbs that are dangerous for worms should not be taken during pregnancy. So 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 applying enemas while a woman is in an interesting position.
But some folk remedies for the fight against helminths are still available during pregnancy. But it is better not to self-medicate, but to discuss the regimen with the doctor. Most likely, it will be he who will tell you the correct 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 seeds;
- garlic, onion in its pure state;
- chamomile decoction;
- carrot, fresh beet;
- vegetables, fruits in unlimited quantities, provided that there is no allergy.
Most of the time, the future mother panics in vain. If she suspects the presence of parasites in the body, do not make a diagnosis yourself. Take a referral from the gynecologist for tests to confirm or disprove suspicions, discuss the results, and if the doctor recommends postpartum treatment, follow his advice.
Treatment with folk remedies is quite a risky occupation. Use only proven methods, do not experiment with your own health. Remember that the most correct way to get rid of worms is a laboratory method of determining the 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 agents that support the functioning of the liver, the restoration of the intestinal microflora.
