According to experts, no one is immune from infection with parasites, and at present one or another species is present in most people.
It is rather difficult to detect helminths in the body, since a separate diagnostic method must be used for each species.
So, some are detected by the presence of eggs in the feces, others by a blood test. Some species tend to behave inside the human body so quietly and imperceptibly that it is almost impossible to identify them.
However, it must be remembered that all parasites pose a potential danger to our health, and sometimes even to life.
Carriers of helminths, as a rule, always suffer from severe chronic diseases, and do not even know about their real cause.
Therefore, every person, especially one who has children, should know how to get rid of parasites in the body and what preventive measures must be taken to prevent infection.
The most dangerous are helminths for children, since they can cause them to delay puberty, impairment of mental and physical development, and memory problems.
Possible ways of infection
The fight against parasites is not only about removing them, but about preventing them from entering the body. How do these vile creatures end up inside us?
There are many ways to get infected. The most common are the following:
- The presence of larvae in meat food and insufficient heat treatment. In this case, tapeworm infection can occur.
- Ignoring basic hygiene rules (dirty hands, fruits, vegetables). Most often, due to non-observance of these rules, a person becomes infected with pinworms or roundworms.
- Contaminated water.
- Flies are vectors.
- Walking on the ground without shoes can result in nematode infestation.
Methods for cleansing the body
Antiparasitic treatment is carried out both with the help of drugs and all kinds of traditional medicine methods.
Medications
When using tablets, strict adherence to the recommended doses for each medicine and the established course duration is necessary.
If the drugs are taken in smaller doses than they should be, the parasites are not excreted, but migrate from the organs in which they lived to nearby organs and systems. This can lead to a life-threatening condition.
For example, if helminths are localized in the intestines, they can move to the pancreas, appendix, lungs, or abdominal cavity.
In this case, the test results may be negative, since the egg-laying process is temporarily inhibited.
As a rule, medications help to quickly get rid of worms, but it should be remembered that almost all pills need to be taken again some time after the first dose.
ethnoscience
When using traditional medicine, it is also necessary to strictly adhere to the established doses and courses.
To remove parasites from the body with the help of anthelmintic herbs, you need to use them in a sufficiently high concentration. And this often leads to an increase in their toxicity and the development of side effects.
In addition, some herbs have contraindications. For example, wormwood and tansy should not be treated in children under the age of 12, as well as people suffering from heart disease, uterine bleeding, liver and kidney disease.
Tansy
This medicinal plant has many beneficial properties, including anthelmintic.
Tansy, like the essential oil prepared on its basis, contains the toxic substance thujone.
Once in the body, this substance quickly kills all parasites. However, in order to achieve the desired anthelmintic effect, it is necessary to take an infusion of this herb in large doses, which may be unsafe for humans. Therefore, this remedy should not be used by children and adolescents under the age of 18.
- For the preparation of infusion 1 tbsp. a spoonful of flowers is poured with a glass of boiling water, placed in a water bath and kept for 15-20 minutes. Then the liquid is cooled, filtered and brought to 200 ml. Take 1/3 cup 2 times daily before meals. The course of treatment is 3 days. A laxative is taken after each dose. After 1-2 weeks, you can do another three-day course.
- Grind dry flowers in a coffee grinder and take 1/3 teaspoon powder 2 times a day before meals. You can add honey or syrup. The course of treatment is 3 days. After that, it is necessary to take laxatives so that the dead parasites can easily leave the intestines.
- In addition to powder and infusion, tansy can also be used for microclysters. For this, an infusion is prepared from the flowers of tansy, wormwood and chamomile, taken in equal proportions. A tablespoon of the crushed mixture of herbs is poured into 200 g of boiling water, brought to a boil and cooled. After that, you need to chop a clove of garlic, add to the broth, leave for at least 3 hours and strain. Use the finished medicine for microclysters (50 ml) every day for 7 days.
Bitter pepper
A few years ago, it was believed that hot peppers are the cause of stomach ulcers, but recent studies have completely refuted this opinion.
On the contrary, regular ingestion of this spice protects the human body from many diseases, including stomach ulcers.
However, people who already have this disease should not use hot pepper, just like in the presence of liver, kidney and bladder diseases.
It is also not recommended to use this spice for the treatment of helminthiasis in children.
To expel parasites in adults, pepper should be consumed with meals for 7-10 days.
Cabbage
If lamblia live inside a person, then they can be expelled with the help of brine squeezed from sauerkraut.
In this case, cabbage should be cooked in its own juice, and not based on vinegar marinade.
The juice must be taken half an hour before a meal, half a glass for 10 days.
Carrot
You can also kill parasites with carrots.
At the same time, both its seeds and freshly squeezed juice are used as a medicine.
- Seeds: have a laxative and antihelminthic effect. It is necessary to grind 50 g of seeds in a coffee grinder and take 2 g up to 5 times a day after meals. The powder is washed down with warm boiled water. In addition, an infusion can also be prepared from the powder, which helps to get rid of not only worms, but also from increased gas formation and fermentation in the intestines.
- Juice: Prepare juice from root vegetables and drink in the morning on an empty stomach for adults, 150 g, for children - 1-2 tbsp. spoons. In this case, children should be given juice 2 times a day.
Flax seed and clove
Flax in combination with cloves is considered a very good remedy for combating all species living inside humans. It should be borne in mind that when using flax seeds, it is recommended to drink at least 1. 5 liters of water per day.
- To prepare the medicine, you need to take 100 g of flaxseed and 10 g of cloves and grind everything into powder.
- Take powder 1 tbsp. l. a day with food or separately for three days in a row.
- After three days, you should take a three-day break and then take a three-day course again.
- Take the powder in this way for a month.

Pumpkin seed
Pumpkin seeds contain the substance cucurbitin, which is quite effective in killing intestinal parasites in the body of not only humans, but also animals. The highest concentration of this substance is not concentrated in the seed itself, but in the film that covers it.
It is best to poison parasites with unpeeled raw seeds, taken 30-60 minutes before meals.
On the basis of pumpkin seeds, you can prepare medicines according to the following recipes:
- Pour the kernels over with salt water and heat in the microwave or on the stove to keep the mixture hot. Count 100 seeds, divide them into 4 parts and eat one part every 3-4 hours, chewing thoroughly. One hour after taking each serving, drink a teaspoon of castor oil. The course of admission is 3 days.
- Fry unpeeled seeds (200 g) in a pan, grind them into powder and mix with 6 cloves of minced garlic. Add honey to the mixture and put in a dark place overnight. Take 30 g every morning before meals for three days.
Watermelon seed
Getting rid of parasites is also possible with the help of ordinary watermelon seeds.
To do this, grind them in a coffee grinder, mix with cold mineral water and leave to infuse overnight. The result should be a liquid that needs to be consumed 100 g before meals with the addition of honey, sugar or syrup.
In addition to the listed funds, there are many other herbs, vegetables and fruits that help remove parasites living inside a person.
So, pear seeds, onion infusion, infusion of nettle roots, decoction of pomegranate bark, sorrel have antihelminthic properties.
