There are many ways to get rid of worms. Pharmacological drugs are very effective, but they are very toxic and therefore cause significant damage to the body. Alternatively, you can use traditional methods. The most effective, simple and safest product against worms is pumpkin seeds. They have pronounced anthelmintic properties, contain many useful components and have a general strengthening effect.
The benefits of pumpkin seeds
Pumpkin seeds- an extremely useful product. They have a harmful effect on helminths due to the content of cucurbitin. In different plant varieties, its concentration is 0, 1-0, 3%. This amino acid is a real poison for worms. At the same time, it is absolutely safe for the human body.
In terms of anthelmintic properties, pumpkin seeds are second only to products prepared on the basis of male fern. But the use of the latter is undesirable, as the use of fern leads to serious side effects and has many contraindications. It turns out that pumpkin seeds are the most effective and safe anthelmintic plant.
In addition to cucurbitin, pumpkin seeds contain many vitamins and trace elements. They enrich the body with vitamins B, E, PP, ascorbic acid, potassium and calcium salts, as well as phosphorus, as well as supplement the lack of iron and magnesium. This helps restore the normal functioning of the body, which has suffered as a result of worm parasitism.
Pumpkin seeds are indispensable in the process of anthelmintic therapy, because the oils they contain cleanse the body. They remove toxins accumulated in the body as a result of helminth activity. This is extremely important for restoring immunity.
Pumpkin seeds have a choleretic and laxative effect. This promotes rapid expulsion of the worms and ensures that they do not begin to decompose inside the body.
To get the maximum benefit from pumpkin seeds, you should use the unrefined product for treatment. It is necessary to peel immediately before using or preparing medicines. The fatty oils contained in the grains are quickly oxidized in the air, which leads to the loss of healing properties.
What parasites will pumpkin help with?
The cucurbitin contained in the seeds destroys all types of parasites: from millimeter to meter long. When worms enter the body, they lose the ability to actively move and attach to the walls of the intestines and other organs. As a result, helminths are paralyzed and quickly eliminated from the body.
Pumpkin seeds will help you get rid of:
- roundworms (nematodes) – pinworms, whipworms, roundworms, trichinella;
- tapeworms (cestodes) - cattle and pig worms, tapeworms;
- Flukes (trematodes) - Siberian fluke, Giardia, liver flukes.
In order for pumpkin seeds against parasites to be as effective as possible, you must use them correctly. The largest amount of cucurbitin, poison for parasites, is contained not in the core itself, but in the film adjacent to the peel.
This is another reason why seeds with hulls should not be purchased for anthelmintic prescriptions.
