Why it works: Rich in cucurbitacin, pumpkin seeds can immobilize parasites, making it easier for your body to expel them.

How to use: Eat a handful of raw or lightly roasted pumpkin seeds daily, or sprinkle them over salads and smoothies.

4. Coconut

Why it works: Both coconut and coconut oil have compounds that are toxic to intestinal worms. They also support digestive health.

How to use: Add shredded coconut to meals or consume 1–2 tablespoons of virgin coconut oil daily on an empty stomach.

5. Turmeric

Why it works: Curcumin, the active compound in turmeric, has anti-inflammatory and antiparasitic properties.

How to use: Incorporate turmeric into curries, teas, or golden milk, or take a teaspoon of turmeric powder daily with warm water.
