Herbal Action: Parasiticide

parasite removal

Parasiticide herbs destroy and remove parasites from the body both internal and external. Where as an anthelmintic specifically eliminates worms, a parasiticide encompasses all types of parasites.

What they do:

• Create a toxic or hostile environment for parasaites which either force them out or destroy them

• Some interrupt the parasite nervous system, flushing them out

• Some disrupt the life cycle

• Some contain enzymes that dissolve outside defenses destroying from the inside out

When to consider them:

Parasite infection, worms of any kind, head lice, crab lice, scabies, mites, ring worm, tinea, etc.

Caution:

Do not use during pregnancy or nursing.
