There are many ways to get rid of worms. Pharmacological drugs are very effective, but very toxic and, therefore, cause significant damage to the body. Alternatively, you can use traditional methods. The most effective, simple and safe anti-worm product 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 content of cucurbitin. In different varieties of plants, its concentration is from 0. 1 to 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 in second place after products prepared on the basis of male fern. But the use of the latter is not desirable, since the use of fern produces serious side effects and has many contraindications. It turns out that pumpkin seeds are the most effective and safest 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 restore the normal functioning of the body, which has suffered as a result of worm parasitism.
Pumpkin seeds are essential in the anthelmintic therapy process, because the oils they contain cleanse the body. They eliminate toxins accumulated in the body as a result of the activity of helminths. This is extremely important to restore 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 within the body.
To get the maximum benefit from pumpkin seeds, it is necessary to use the unrefined product as a treatment. It is necessary to peel it immediately before using or preparing medicines. The fatty oils contained in cereals quickly oxidize in the air, which causes a loss of their 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 the worms, they lose the ability to actively move and adhere 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 eliminate:
- roundworms (nematodes): pinworms, whipworms, roundworms, trichinella;
- tapeworms (cestodes): bovine and porcine tapeworms, tapeworms;
- flukes (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 found in the grain itself, but in the film adjacent to the shell.
This is another reason why you should not buy shelled seeds for anthelmintic recipes.
