According to WHO data, more than 2/3 of the global population suffers from enterobiasis. In developing countries, due to the lack of effective diagnostics and insufficient medical resources, the disease is practically ubiquitous.
However, even in developed countries, people prefer to use folk remedies for worms, as traditional tablets may cause unwanted side effects and have contraindications. Many of them, for instance, are not allowed for children under 2 years old.
One effective remedy for worms is pumpkin seeds.
It is recommended to eat them daily, but it is better to prepare them according to a special recipe: peel 300g of raw or dried pumpkin seeds, preserving the thin green shell. Crush in a mortar or with a hammer, previously wrapped in a linen cloth. Transfer the obtained powder into a container and gradually add 50ml of water, stirring constantly. Add 10-15g of honey to the mixture and stir again. Give the child 1 teaspoon in the morning before breakfast, gradually feeding him the entire prepared dose over an hour. After three hours, it is necessary to give the child a solution of magnesium sulfate.
For adults, an effective remedy for worms is wormwood. Brew 1 teaspoon of dried bitter wormwood in 2 cups of boiling water and cover it. Once cooled, strain and take 2 tablespoons 30 minutes before meals three times a day.
To expel roundworms, a decoction of young walnut kernels will help. It is recommended to use this remedy in the fall when it is possible to grind the nuts along with the skin. Brew 4 tablespoons of the obtained mass with one cup of boiling water, in which a little salt is dissolved. After thirty minutes, strain and drink the infusion throughout the day.
Before using any folk remedies, you should make sure that they are not contraindicated for you, and you do not have allergic reactions to them.
Treatment of children should be conducted with particular care. To achieve the maximum effect from the treatment, it is advisable to consult with a specialist.
