Helminths belong to the group of lower life forms. They can exist only at the expense of the body of the carriers. Most worms not only live in the body, but also disrupt their work with their presence. Therefore, the more species of worms live in the body and the longer they live, the worse human health will be. For this reason, it is very bold not to assess the effects of helminths and to postpone their treatment.
It is best to carry out regular prophylaxis and eliminate worms immediately when they appear. You can get rid of them both with drugs and traditional medicine. The latter has several advantages at the same time. First, they are less dangerous because they do not have synthetic elements. It is important to note that the effectiveness of folk remedies does not lag behind medical methods.
Second, medical methods to eradicate helminths have emerged relatively recently, and traditional medicine has been used very successfully since the first generation. This material will be devoted to the best means to combat worms in the human body, which offer traditional medicine.
Pumpkin seeds for parasites
The effectiveness of pumpkin seeds is due to the fact that they contain a deadly substance for worms called hururbitin. The most useful is the film between the seed coat and the kernel. It is the place with the highest amount of kukurbitin. Therefore, you should use the seeds with this film.
The mechanism of action of the seeds is paralysis of helminths, so they completely lose the ability to move, stick to the walls of the intestinal mucosa and multiply. Thus, after a certain period of time, they will leave the body completely.
It is important to note that pumpkin seeds have three undeniable benefits:

In addition, the seeds retain their beneficial properties during various treatments.
The list of the most effective folk remedies is as follows:

Troichka from parasites
As the name suggests, triad is a three-component preparation consisting of tansy, wormwood and cloves.
- Tansy contains thujone, a neurotoxin that is deadly to worms. It kills worms as soon as it enters the body. By the way, it is able to effectively eliminate not only worms, but also larvae. In addition, the effects of this substance include stimulation of gastric juice secretion and gastrointestinal motility. First, it helps to increase the acidity of the environment in the stomach, thereby killing protozoa and bacteria, and second - the easy removal of already dead helminths. But there is a downside to such a strong and aggressive move. The fact is that thujone is toxic not only to helminths, but also to humans. And if an adult receives a dose of such a toxin more or less normal, a smaller patient may experience severe poisoning;
- Bitter wormwood also has a negative effect on worms and protozoa. The effect of the plant is due to its bitter and tanning properties. It is important to note that products containing wormwood can be used for no more than 60 days. Further intake of the drug may lead to accumulation poisoning;

The list of contraindications is much broader, gastrointestinal diseases, immunodeficiency conditions, severe poisoning, childhood and old age. You should talk to your doctor and get tested before preparing and consuming the trinity.
