To end parasites, we must eliminate sugars, alcohol and dairy products from our diet and reduce the consumption of refined carbohydrates.
Parasites are much more common than we think. Furthermore, they are difficult to diagnose. The symptoms they cause can be mistaken for other things, such as excess appetite, tiredness, or anxiety.
Discover in this article what are the best natural remedies to eliminate parasites effectively. In addition, these pathogens are related to some neuronal diseases, so it is convenient to know and prevent them.
We present the most common symptoms of parasite infections. We also publicize natural foods and remedies that help us treat them naturally.
Symptoms of parasites
- Appetite disorders (excess or lack of hunger), puffy eyes
- Anxiety and nervousness.
- Itching at the tip of the nose, in the eyes or in the anal area.
- Dilated pupils.
- Intestinal disorders (constipation, diarrhea).
- Insomnia for no apparent reason.
- Fatigue.
- Headache.
- Some diseases such as epilepsy, autism or Alzheimer’s could be related to the presence of parasites.
Antiparasitic feeding
The diet that must be followed to eliminate parasites must be strict. In fact, we will take into account that parasites feed on certain foods. It will, therefore, be essential to avoid:
- Sugar and sugary foods.
- Refined flours (white rice, pasta, pastries, among others.)
- Alcohol.
- Milk and milk derivatives.
Garlic
The garlic is a medicinal food that works as a natural antibiotic and helps prevent many diseases. In the case of parasites, it is also very effective.
The only problem it has is its smell and that there are people who find it difficult to digest it. For those who tolerate it well, you can eat raw garlic in the morning. Another option is to do the Tibetan garlic cure.
Pumpkin seeds
Pumpkin seeds are one of the most powerful foods we have to prevent and eliminate parasites. We have to take them raw, without toasting and, if possible, fasting.
We can also grind them and add them to salads and stews or prepare a vegetable drink. In addition to being an antiparasitic food, it also provides many nutrients to our body.
Oregano essential oil
The most effective essential oil to eliminate parasites is oregano. However, when buying it we must specify that it is for oral use since otherwise, it could be toxic.
We will take one drop daily. We will do it on an empty stomach, half an hour before breakfast. We will always mix it with a little vegetable oil. For example, olive oil.
Probiotics
Intestinal parasites alter intestinal flora and tend to proliferate when it is not balanced. That is why it is convenient to take probiotics to repopulate the intestinal flora and prevent and combat parasites.
We can buy them in pharmacies and herbalists and take them seasonally. It is very important to take them at least one hour before breakfast.
Thyme and chamomile infusions
Although infusions are a mild remedy compared to extracts, they can help us prevent or complement a treatment. Thyme and chamomile are two very effective plants for parasites.
We will prepare a liter of thyme and chamomile infusion daily, which we will drink throughout the day. We will take it for at least a month for it to take effect.
Grapefruit seed extract
This extract, which we can buy in herbalists, is very effective in killing or inhibiting the growth of a large number of bacteria, fungi, viruses and parasites. In addition, it is very rich in vitamin C.
We will take according to the indications of the product. It is very important that it is of the highest quality. We will keep it in a dark, cool and dry place so as not to damage its properties.
Papaya seeds
The gelatinous seeds of papaya are an ancient remedy to combat parasites. Many cultures use it to maintain a clean and healthy intestine.
We can prepare a papaya smoothie also adding its seeds, water and a little stevia to sweeten. We will take it in the morning on an empty stomach.
Homemade pumpkin and garlic syrup
Finally, we can prepare a homemade syrup with the following ingredients to completely eliminate the parasites present in our intestine.
Ingredients
- 1 glass of pumpkin pulp (100 g)
- 10 garlic cloves (20 g)
- 5 tablespoons of honey (100 ml)
- 10 glasses of water (2 l)
Elaboration
- Cook the pumpkin with two liters of water until it is halved.
- Turn off the heat and add the garlic cut into small pieces.
- Let stand two hours.
- Then add the honey and strain.
- We can take two tablespoons each morning.
General advice
- If we have pets at home we should deworm them periodically according to the veterinarian’s recommendation, since parasites can be passed by contact.
- It is also important that if someone in the family has parasites, keep in mind that they may have spread them to other members, so everyone should be deworming.
