10 Home Remedies For Pinworms
Home Remedy #9: Bitter Gourd
Similar to pumpkin seeds, bitter gourd contains curcurbitin, an active compound that paralyzes pinworms and helps to expel them from the body. Additionally, bitter gourd boosts your immune system significantly. It contains several B vitamins including folate, vitamin C, and minerals like magnesium, zinc, phosphorus, and fiber. These help to nourish your body and enable it to fight health issues including infestation with pinworms.
The only downside is that bitter gourd is really bitter. For this reason, it helps to choose the smaller sized fruits. Overuse of bitter gourd can also lead to diarrhea and stomach pain. For purposes of expelling pinworms, use it for only one week.
