There are many ways to get rid of worms. Pharmacological medicines are highly effective, but they are very toxic and therefore cause significant harm to the body. Alternatively, you can use traditional methods. The most effective, simple and safe 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 detrimental effect on helminths due to the cucurbitin content. 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 from male fern. But the use of the latter is undesirable, since 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 microelements. They enrich the body with vitamins B, E, PP, ascorbic acid, potassium and calcium salts, as well as phosphorus, and replenish the deficiency of iron and magnesium. This helps to 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, as 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 need to use the unrefined product for treatment. It is necessary to peel it immediately before using or preparing medicines. The fatty oils contained in the grains quickly oxidize 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 one millimeter to one meter in length. When it enters the body of worms, they lose the ability to actively move and attach to the walls of the intestines and other organs. As a result, the helminths are paralyzed and quickly eliminated from the body.
Pumpkin seeds help eliminate:
- roundworms (nematodes) – pinworms, whipworms, roundworms, trichinella;
- tapeworms (cestodes) - bovine and pork tapeworms, tapeworms;
- worms (trematodes) – Siberian flukes, Giardia, liver flukes.
In order for pumpkin seeds against parasites to be as effective as possible, it is necessary to use them correctly. The largest amount of cucurbitin, a poison for parasites, is not contained in the grain itself, but in the film adjacent to the shell.
This is another reason why shelled seeds should not be purchased for anthelmintic recipes.
