Herbs that expel parasites are used to treat roundworm, tapeworm, pinworm,
hookworm and other intestinal parasites.
Selecting the proper
herb depends upon the type of parasites and the patient’s body constitution.
In cases of a complicated pathological condition, these herbs may be used
with herbs of other categories. For
example, if a patient suffers from intestinal parasites and constipation, these
herbs are used with those hat purge stool.
Since some of
these herbs are toxic, over dosage may cause side effects.
They are contraindicated during pregnancy and in persons with a weak
constitution.
