Worms are a common digestive issue and over time, can cause imbalance and irritation to the gut and body system overall. There are varying types of intestinal worms that can be experienced by adults and children alike.
SYMPTOMS OF INTESTINAL WORMS
Itchiness around the bottom and/or vagina, which is usually worse at night.
Redness around the genitals.
Restlessness.
Sometimes a presentation of worms visible externally.
Rarely, nausea and vomiting.
Worms, of all kinds, can be treated effectively with Ayurvedic medicine. This simple clove and cinnamon decoction is a useful home remedy to have on-hand and can be given to children (in a half dose) and adults (full dose) for presentation of worms. However, as always, I recommend you seek guidance from your Ayurvedic Practitioner or chosen health care professional for ongoing care and treatment. Particularly, in managing secondary outbreaks and how to support recovery using holistic strategies.

METHOD

In a saucepan, add all ingredients and bring to a boil.

Allow the liquid to reduce down to 30 ml, turn off heat and allow to cool to room temperature.
Pour the decoction into a glass, via a straining process of cheese or muslin cloth.
Take half of the decoction liquid with 45ml of warm water added in the morning 10-20 minutes before food on an empty stomach and the other half in the evening following the same principles.

I really like this remedy, simple but effective! For anybody just getting started, it's also worth looking into a high quality probiotic. Whilst probiotics don't directly 'attack' parasites, they make it much harder for them to establish themselves & thrive. If you imagine your gut as a garden, probiotics are like skilled gardeners who help maintain the garden by keeping the weeds (parasites) in check. There's even research which shows that people who are overweight, have less healthy gut bugs compared to those who are a moderate weight. So if losing weight feels like a struggle, it may be all connected. There's a very good probiotic here
Gut health is one area that is often overlooked and I'm not sure know…
Why cook and reduce the clove and cinnamon in water? it seems that destroys and reduces the natural benefits. doesn't it? i prefer adding clove powdered spice and cinnamon powdered cloves to morning coffee.
(Sometimes i also add,
Pau D' Arco drops, to my coffee.)
