Natural Cures For Pinworms

June 9, 2008

Garlic has been used for expelling intestinal worms from ancient times by the Chinese, Greeks, Romans, Hindus and Babylonians. It is also used by modern biological practitioners for this purpose. Both fresh garlic and its oil are effective. An ancient method of its medication was to place a couple of cloves of fresh garlic in its shoe.

As the person walks, it is crushed and the worm-killing garlic oil is absorbed by the skin and carried by blood into the intestines as it possesses the powerful penetrative force. This method is worth a trial by those who do not like the taste of garlic and cannot eat it. Avoid scratching the anal region. Avoid biting your fingernails and keep fingernails short and clean. Wash all bedding and pajamas regularly and be sure your child changes underwear daily.

Foods that are rich in fiber have been found to be very good for getting rid of pinworms. Try to include lots of grain as well as raw vegetables in the diet. It will not only make the treatment for pinworms more effective, but also prevent further infestation from taking place. Papaya seeds are also useful for this purpose. They are rich in a substance called caricin which is a very effective medicine for expelling roundworms. The alkaloid carpaine found in the leaves has also the power to destroy or expel intestinal worms. They are given with honey. Frequently vacuum the play area and despite these measures, it still may be quite difficult to avoid reinfecting yourself or spreading pinworms to others.

Concentrated grapefruit seed extract has been found to be very helpful for getting rid of pinworms and for this; you can add 5 to 10 drops of the extract to one glass of juice or water (since the extract is bitter, juice is a better option). Drink a glass of this mixture, 2-3 times in a day, for three to seven days. Wormwood is also good. One dose administered twice daily for a week. Concentrated Grapefruit Seed Extract (i.e. Citricidal, Nutrabiotic): Add 5 to 10 drops of the extract to a glass of juice or water. Drink a glass of this mixture two to three times daily for three to seven days. Note: the extract has an extremely bitter taste.
