Using Herbs for
Parasites/Worms
Parasites and human worms can be the cause of intestinal discomfort, bloating gas and chronic constipation. Herbs are often used in intestinal cleansing and anti-parasite support.
Several herbs and foods have traditionally been used to treat parasites. They have fewer side effects, but generally take longer to work. Take an infestation of parasites seriously, and consult a qualified health practitioner. And if you are pregnant, be aware that many of the herbs and drugs used to treat parasites have side effects for pregnant women. |

This substance also kills the organism that causes river blindness, a tropical disease in which parasites infest the eye, and many common bacteria, including Escherichia coli (E. coli) and Staphylococcus bacteria, as well as the bacteria that cause dysentery and typhoid fever.
