Top Traditional Ways to Get Rid of Parasites
What to look out for, and why it matters for your health
Across cultures, a number of foods and botanicals have been traditionally used to support gut health and maintain a balanced internal environment.
While these are not substitutes for medical diagnosis or treatment, several of them have been studied for their potential effects on digestion, microbiome balance and overall gastrointestinal wellness.
Below are six of the most commonly referenced traditional approaches.
1. Eating Garlic
Garlic has a long history of use in traditional medicine systems, and modern research has explored its naturally occurring sulphur compounds, particularly allicin. These compounds are believed to contribute to garlic’s antiparasetic properties, which may support a healthier digestive environment. It is often consumed raw, or lightly cooked.
2. Limiting Sugar and Refined Carbohydrates
Parasites thrive on high intakes of sugar and refined carbohydrates which may alter the gut microbiome and contribute to digestive imbalance. Many traditional and modern dietary approaches recommend reducing these foods to help the body maintain more stable blood sugar levels and a healthier gastrointestinal environment. Emphasising whole, minimally processed foods remains a widely supported approach for general digestive wellbeing.
3. Staying Hydrated
Adequate hydration plays an essential role in gut motility and waste elimination. Water helps support the body’s natural detoxification processes and assists in maintaining the proper function of the digestive tract. Traditional health systems frequently encouraged regular hydration, sometimes combined with warm water or herbal teas, to promote digestive comfort.
4. Wormwood
Wormwood has been used in herbal medicine for centuries and is often included in digestive-support formulations. Its primary active compound, thujone, has been studied for its potential effects on gut function. Although more research is needed, wormwood remains a well-known traditional herb for supporting gastrointestinal health, especially in combination with other botanicals.
5. Black Walnut
Black walnut hulls contain naturally occurring tannins and juglone, both of which have been historically valued for their astringent and cleansing effects. These compounds may help support digestive balance and a healthy gut environment. Traditional practitioners often paired black walnut with complementary herbs to broaden its digestive-support profile.
6. Cloves
