According to experts, no one is immune to parasite infestation and currently one or another species is present in most people.
It is quite difficult to detect helminths in the body, as a separate diagnostic method must be used for each species.
So, some are detected by the presence of eggs in the stool, others by a blood test. Some species tend to behave in 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 the real cause.
Therefore, everyone, especially those who have children, should know how to get rid of parasites in the body and what preventive measures should be taken to prevent infection.
The most dangerous are helminths for children, as they can cause delayed puberty, impaired mental and physical development and memory problems.
Possible ways of infection
The fight against parasites is not only to eliminate them, but also to prevent them from entering the body. How do these vile creatures end up in 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, a tapeworm infection can occur.
- Ignoring the basic rules of hygiene (dirty hands, fruits, vegetables). Most often, due to non-compliance with these rules, a person becomes infected with pinworms or roundworms.
- Contaminated water.
- Flies are vectors.
- Walking on the ground without shoes can lead to nematode infection.
Methods for cleansing the body
Antiparasitic treatment is performed both with the help of drugs and with any methods of traditional medicine.
Medicines
When using tablets it is necessary to strictly adhere to the recommended doses for each drug and the established duration of the course.
If the drugs are taken in smaller doses than necessary, 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 gut, they can move to the pancreas, appendix, lungs, or abdomen.
In this case, the test results may be negative, as the process of laying eggs is temporarily inhibited.
As a rule, medications help to get rid of worms quickly, but it should be remembered that almost all pills must 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 must 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 12 years of age, as well as in people with heart disease, uterine bleeding, liver and kidney disease.
Tansy
This medicinal plant has many beneficial properties, including anthelmintics.
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 can be dangerous to humans. Therefore, this medicine should not be used in children and adolescents under 18 years of age.
- To prepare the infusion 1 tbsp. spoonful of flowers pour a glass of boiling water, place in a water bath and hold for 15-20 minutes. The liquid is then cooled, filtered and made up 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 the dried flowers in a coffee grinder and take 1/3 teaspoon of powder 2 times a day before meals. You can add honey or syrup. The course of treatment is 3 days. It is then necessary to take laxatives so that dead parasites can easily leave the intestines.
- In addition to powder and infusion, tansy can also be used for microenemas. To do this, prepare a decoction of 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, bring to a boil and cool. Then 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 microenemas (50 ml) every day for 7 days.
Bitter pepper
A few years ago, hot peppers were thought to be the cause of stomach ulcers, but recent studies completely refute this view.
On the contrary, regular ingestion of this spice protects the human body from many diseases, including stomach ulcers.
People who already have this disease should not use hot pepper, just as in the presence of diseases of the liver, kidneys and bladder.
The use of this spice for the treatment of helminthiasis in children is also not recommended.
To drive away parasites in adults, pepper should be consumed during meals for 7-10 days.
Cabbage
If giardia live inside a person, then they can be expelled with the help of brine squeezed from sauerkraut.

Carrots
You can also kill parasites with carrots.
At the same time, its seeds and freshly squeezed juice are used as medicine.
- Seeds: have a laxative and anthelmintic 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 with warm boiled water. In addition, the powder can be prepared as an infusion, which helps to get rid not only of worms, but also of 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.
Flaxseed and cloves
Flax in combination with cloves is considered a very good means of combating all species living inside humans. It should be borne in mind that when using flaxseed 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 to a powder.
- Take powder 1 tbsp. l. per day with food or separately for three consecutive days.

It is best to poison the parasites with unpeeled raw seeds, taken 30-60 minutes before eating.
Based on pumpkin seeds you can prepare medicines according to the following recipes:
