I found worms in the stool my little daughter, what natural remedies should I use to get rid of it ?
Intestinal worms are quite common in children, primarily because it’s difficult to keep track of where they play and with what. You need to keep a check on whether your daughter plays in clean surroundings and doesn’t bite her nails or put anything unclean in her mouth. Worms hatch wherever there is filth and dirt. And if the child eats with unclean hands, she ingests the eggs into the stomach, where the worms multiply. So, make sure that your girl also washes her hands really well with soap before eating anything. Contaminated water is also one of the ways of getting these worms in the stomach and intestine. Always filter and boil the water that she drinks. Do not give her sugary, stale, or gassy foods. These foods are difficult to digest and because of the remnants in the stomach, they create a breeding ground for the worms. You need to help your daughter get rid of these worms as soon as possible because worms cause more problems like diarrhea, constipation, weight loss, and anemia.
Natural Remedies For Intestinal Worms
There are many remedies that can be used to get rid of the intestinal worms. It can be a tricky situation where children are concerned, as they may not like the taste of most things that are good curers of worms such as bitter gourd and margosa leaves. So, you can try to give them something better tasting, like carrots and coconut. Carrots are also a good remedy for treating intestinal worms. For a couple of days, give nothing but grated carrots to your daughter. You will see the difference in a short period of time. Make sure that your daughter eats lots of fresh vegetables and fruits and these are thoroughly washed before consumption. Coconut or coconut milk is also very beneficial in getting rid of all kinds of intestinal worms. Give your daughter one tablespoon of freshly ground coconut at breakfast. She can also have coconut milk to kill the worms. If you can get her to do this, about three hours after consuming the grated coconut, give her 30 to 60 ml of castor oil mixed with 250 to 375 ml of lukewarm milk. Continue this till you are sure that the worms are completely gone from your daughter’s stomach. Garlic also kills almost all kinds of bacteria and worms. Season the food with garlic or have your daughter chew two cloves of garlic every morning.
