There are many ways to get rid of worms. Pharmacological drugs are highly effective, but they are very toxic and therefore cause significant harm to the body. As an alternative, 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 beneficial effect on overall health.
Benefits of pumpkin seeds
Pumpkin seeds- an extremely useful product. They have a detrimental effect on helminths due to their cucurbitin content. In different cultivars, 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 ferns. But the use of the latter is undesirable, since the use of ferns leads to serious side effects and has many contraindications. It turns out that pumpkin seeds are the most effective and safe deworming plant.
In addition to cucurbitin, pumpkin seeds also 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, and replenish the deficiency of iron and magnesium. This helps restore the body's normal functioning, which has been affected by parasitic worms.
Pumpkin seeds are indispensable during anthelmintic therapy, because the oils they contain help cleanse the body. They remove toxins accumulated in the body due to the activity of helminths. This is extremely important to restore immunity.
Pumpkin seeds have choleretic and laxative effects. This promotes rapid expulsion of the worms and ensures that they do not start to decompose inside the body.
To get the maximum benefit from pumpkin seeds, you need to use the unrefined product for treatment. Peel should be peeled immediately before using or preparing medicine. Fatty oils contained in cereals quickly oxidize in air, leading to loss of healing properties.
How will pumpkin help parasites?
Cucurbitin contained in the seeds destroys all types of parasites: from millimeters to meters long. When entering the body of worms, they lose the ability to actively move and attach to the intestinal wall and other organs. As a result, the worms are paralyzed and quickly eliminated from the body.
Pumpkin seeds will help eliminate:
- roundworms (nematodes) – pinworms, whipworms, nematodes, trichinella;
- tapeworms (cestodes) - beef and pig tapeworms, tapeworms;
- trematodes (flukes) – Siberian flukes, Giardia, liver flukes.
For pumpkin seeds to be most effective against parasites, you need to use them properly. The greatest amount of cucurbitin, which is toxic to the parasite, is not contained in the nucleus but in the membrane adjacent to the shell.
This is another reason why you should not buy shelled seeds to make anthelmintic medicine.
