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 safe product against worms is pumpkin seeds. They have pronounced anthelmintic properties, contain many useful components and have a general strengthening effect.
Benefits of pumpkin seeds
Pumpkin seeds- 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, because the use of fern leads to 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 trace elements. They enrich the body with vitamins B, E, PP, ascorbic acid, potassium and calcium salts, as well as phosphorus, and compensate for the lack of iron and magnesium. This helps restore the normal functioning of the body that has suffered from 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 need to use an unrefined product for treatment. It should be peeled immediately before use or preparation of medicines. The fatty oils contained in cereals quickly oxidize in the air, which leads to the loss of medicinal properties.
Which parasites will pumpkin help with?
The cucurbitin contained in the seeds destroys all types of parasites: from a millimeter to a meter in length. 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) - beef and pork tapeworms, tapeworms;
- flukes (trematodes) – Siberian fluke, Giardia, liver fluke.
In order for pumpkin seeds to be as effective as possible against parasites, they need to be used correctly. The largest amount of cucurbitin, a poison for parasites, is not contained in the kernel itself, but in the film next to the peel.
This is another reason why you should not buy shelled seeds for anthelmintic recipes.

Anti-allergic drugs helped a little. Then I did a helminth test and roundworms were detected. This was extremely unexpected. Since my liver was already tired from long-term treatment, I decided to treat myself to pumpkin seeds. I ate half a glass of peeled seeds on an empty stomach. After 2 weeks, a repeated analysis showed the absence of worms. "

I gave the child pumpkin seeds with milk. The procedure was repeated for 4 days. After this my son's condition improved. We did the test again and it confirmed the recovery. "
