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 organism. Alternatively, traditional methods can be used. 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 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 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 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 to restore the normal functioning of the body, which has suffered due to the parasitism of worms.
Pumpkin seeds are indispensable in the process of anthelmintic therapy, because the oils contained in them cleanse the body. They remove toxins accumulated in the body due to the activity of helminths. This is extremely important for restoring immunity.
Pumpkin seeds have a choleretic and laxative effect. This helps the worms to be expelled quickly and ensures that they do not start to decompose inside the body.
To get the most benefit from pumpkin seeds, you should use an unrefined product for treatment. It is necessary to peel it immediately before using or preparing medicines. Fatty oils contained in cereals quickly oxidize in the air, which leads to the loss of healing properties.
Which parasites can pumpkin help against?
The cucurbitin contained in the seeds destroys all types of parasites: from millimeter to meter in length. When it enters the body of worms, they lose the ability to actively move and attach to the walls of the intestine and other organs. As a result, helminths are paralyzed and quickly eliminated from the body.
Pumpkin seeds will help you get rid of:
- roundworms (roundworms) – pinworms, whipworms, roundworms, trichinella;
- tapeworms (tapeworms) - bovine and porcine tapeworms, tapeworms;
- trematodes (flukes) – 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 greatest quantity of cucurbitin, poison for parasites, is not contained in the stone itself, but in the film adjacent to the peel.
This is another reason why shelled seeds should not be purchased for anthelminthic recipes.

After 2 weeks, a repeat analysis showed the absence of worms. "
