Parasites are organisms that live in or on a host and draw nutrients at the host’s expense. They may be microscopic protozoa or visible intestinal worms such as pinworms, roundworms, hookworms, or tapeworms. While some infections cause obvious digestive distress, others are more subtle and may contribute to fatigue, nutrient depletion, skin irritation, bloating, or recurring gastrointestinal discomfort.
For decades, Earth Clinic readers have shared experiences with traditional natural parasite remedies, including black walnut hull, wormwood, cloves, papaya seeds, raw garlic, pumpkin seeds, oregano oil, and probiotics. These remedies are often used to support digestive balance and create a less hospitable environment for unwanted organisms.
However, suspected parasite infections should be approached carefully.
