There are lots of herbs that have healing properties. Some of these herbs are very beneficial for people with parasites or parasitic infections. While taking these herbs is a very holistic approach to eradicating parasites from the body, they can be effective and much safer for your body than conventional medicine.
Most of these herbs are beneficial for your immune system. Boosting your immune system is one of the best ways to combat an infection, so eating other immune-boosting foods (lemons, berries, green vegetables, kiwis, garlic, onion, chilies, or guavas) can help to speed up that process. Depending on the parasite or infection, you may have to experiment with the herbs below.
Turmeric
Turmeric is a powerful, immune-boosting herb that helps the body in many ways. It has anti-inflammatory, anticancer, and worm-expelling properties. Eating fresh turmeric will be more beneficial, and pairing it with black pepper and virgin coconut oil helps the body absorb it more easily.
Cayenne Pepper
Incredibly rich in vitamin C, cayenne has antifungal properties that work to kill parasites, fungi, and mold in your body. Additionally, cayenne works to improve circulation and helps your body absorb other herbs that you consume.
Papaya
Eating sugar is not conducive when trying to fight parasites. Even though papaya has natural sugars, it also helps to destroy parasitic worms, including tapeworms and other intestinal worms. You can actually soak the papaya peel in apple cider vinegar for one day and then consume 2 ounces of this liquid for 4 days to help eradicate parasites.
Thyme
Helping to stimulate the thymus gland, thyme contains antibacterial properties that work to inhibit parasite growth. Thyme also helps to awaken the body’s natural defense system, while killing intestinal microorganisms.
Oregano Oil
Containing powerful antifungal, anti-parasitic, and antiviral properties, oregano oil is full of antioxidants that help to fight free radical damage. It also helps to reset the microbial environment in the intestinal tract.
Garlic
Garlic has been known to treat intestinal parasites for quite some time. It works to kill harmful microorganisms and encourages the removal of heavy metals from the body.
Clove
Clove is actually the only herb that can effectively kill parasite eggs. Using clove essential oil helps destroy eggs that worms lay in the intestinal tract. It is most effective when used with wormwood or black walnuts.
