Pumpkin seeds for parasites
The effectiveness of pumpkin seeds is due to the fact that in their composition they contain a substance that can be deadly for worms called cucurbitin. The most beneficial is the membrane between the seed coat and its nucleus. This is where the highest amount of cucurbitin is found. Therefore, you need to use the seed along with this membrane.
The mechanism of action of the seeds is to paralyze helminths, so they completely lose the ability to move, attach to the intestinal mucosa and multiply. Thus, after a certain time, they will completely leave the body.

Troichka from parasites
As the name suggests, fenugreek is a preparation of 3 ingredients including sage root, sage, and cloves.

In addition, the effects of this substance include stimulation of gastric secretion and gastrointestinal motility. The first way helps to increase the acidity of the environment in the stomach, thereby killing protozoa and bacteria, and the second - it is easier to get rid of dead helminths. However, such a strong and extreme action has a negative side. The fact is that thujone has a toxic effect not only on helminths, but also on humans. And if an adult tolerates more or less of a toxin than is normal, a younger patient can suffer severe poisoning;
- Wormwood also has a detoxifying effect on worms and protozoa. The effect of the plant is due to its bitter taste and tanning. It is important to note that products that contain mugwort in their ingredients can be used for no more than 60 days. Taking more drugs can cause cumulative poisoning;
