Natural Remedies for Parasites

Natural Remedies for Parasites

Do you have a problem with parasites in your body? Most of us don’t even know it if we do. The truth is, anyone can end up with parasites at any time and if left untreated it can wreak havoc on your body.

So, what happens is that the parasites eventually make you very sick. They steal the nutrition and food from your body. You may find that you are getting skinnier and sicker with nothing to show for it. Though you may feel you may need to lose a few pounds, this is NOT the way to do it.

I learned in my herbal studies that if you do have parasites, there are some natural things you can do to stop them. However, since having a parasitic infection can be dangerous, even deadly, I urge you to put yourself under a physician’s care. The information here is meant to be informative and doesn’t take the place of medical treatment.

Before you get started using these natural remedies for parasites, you will need to confirm if you have parasites or not. And if you do realize you have them, which ones do you have? Certain remedies may work better on some parasites than on others. Be sure to consult with your doctor.

Do a Detox

The very first thing you might want to consider is doing a detox diet. However, if you are really sick from your parasite infection, this may not be your best option. Consult with your doctor to determine if this is a good natural option for you.

Take Garlic

Garlic can be a powerful remedy against parasites. Eat 1-2 garlic cloves each day or take some garlic capsules. If you opt to take capsules, follow the instructions on the package or consult with your physician.

Black Walnut Tincture

Tincture made from black walnut can be a great ally against parasites. Follow the dosage instructions on the package. You will also want to consult with your physician and/or natural health professional. This herb is very strong and may not be for everyone.

Try Cloves

Most of us have cloves in the pantry, right? Well, you might want to give them a try for parasites. Chew 1-2 dried cloves each day or just simply cook with them whenever you get the chance. Be sure not to overdo it, though because cloves can irritate the stomach if taken in large doses.

As usual, you need to be under the care of a physician. Review these natural options with your doctor and use the treatment plan that works the best for you.

Accept Yourself - When Not to do a Detox

My opinions on detoxing are a little complicated. For me, it depends on the motives for why people want to detox.

• Do you think that your body is dirty?
• Are you obsessed with purging your body of toxins?
• Do you believe that all your health problems are caused by the toxins in your body?

If any of those are true - DO NOT do a detox. Your body image needs help. If you feed your body healthy foods, exercise, and take care of your skin then there is nothing wrong with you. Treating your body as if it is a waste dump is counterproductive and stressful.

I prescribe to the "Wise Woman" tradition that is advocated by Susun Weed. She believes that the human body is beautiful. When fed the right foods there is no reason why the body can't function optimally. She says that if you love yourself and your body, then you should focus on nourishment not hatred.

Approaching a detox from the standpoint of hatred is NOT a good idea. Also, anyone who is really sick should also not worry about detoxing. Even though people claim that it is purifying and will help your body, it won't - not in this case.

But I do believe that detoxing has it's place. I'll talk about that in the next post.

How do you help yourself if you suffer from these "self hate" symptoms? Learning how to find your true beauty is a very good start. This is where you learn to accept yourself for what you are. Only then can you make the changes you need to change your health.
