Parasite Cleanse ingredients and health benefits
Herbal ingredients in our Parasite Cleanse and some of their benefits.
Green Black Walnut Hull
The black walnut tree, also called American walnut, commonly grows throughout the eastern and central United States. The nut from the tree has a hard outer shell or hull that turns black after falling to the ground. The walnut hull secretes a dark-colored fluid that has been used as a medicinal remedy for many generations. The potential health benefits of black walnut hull tincture are numerable and mainly related to its antimicrobial properties.
Beneficial Compounds
Many parts of the black walnut tree are used as remedies, but the blackish-green secretion from the hulls of the nuts is likely the most potent. The secretion is especially rich in juglone, tannins, iodine and vitamin C. Juglone, also called 5-hydroxy-alphanapthaquinone, is used by the black walnut tree to deter other trees and grasses from growing too close to it. It also deters insects and a variety of microbes including bacteria, fungi and parasites. Tannin, iodine and vitamin C are also antiseptics to varying degrees. Furthermore, iodine is essential for thyroid gland health, while vitamin C boosts immunity by stimulating the production and actions of specialized white blood cells.
Anti-parasitic Benefit
Parasites, including worms and protozoa are not just a problem for people in undeveloped countries. Americans are also at risk, especially those who eat raw fish or undercooked pork, or drink unfiltered water from lakes or rivers. Parasites often become lodged within the intestines and cause digestive problems such as malabsorption, diarrhea and abdominal pain. Arguably, black walnut tincture is most often used as an anti-parasitic remedy, although there is a lack of human research to prove efficacy. As such, more investigation is needed before specific doses or protocols can be recommended. Furthermore, the natural laxative effect of black walnut may help flush intestinal parasites out and prevent constipation.
Wormwood
Wormwood gets its therapeutic uses from the presence of volatile oils, absinthin, anabsinthin, organic acids and resins. These compounds also give wormwood its very bitter taste.
It has several medicinal properties including anti-inflammatory, antiseptic, intestinal anthelmintic, febrifuge and stomachic properties. It also has antioxidant abilities which help reverse cellular damage that contribute to the aging process and many diseases.
Health Benefits of Wormwood
Apart from being used as an ingredient in absinthe, wormwood has historically been used to treat various illnesses including digestive conditions, fevers, and dyspepsia and liver conditions.
Stimulates the Digestive System
Wormwood has traditionally been used to treat many problems relating to the digestive system. It is used to relieve indigestion and also to stimulate better digestion because of its ability to promote the production of bile and support gallbladder and liver health.
Kills Worms and Parasites
There is evidence that wormwood can destroy harmful parasites which lends credence to one of its traditional uses. People in developing countries can benefit from the far more affordable herbal treatments because of the high cost and limited availability of pharmaceuticals. It is capable of destroying numerous parasites including pin worms and roundworms.
According to research wormwood helps to produce an intestinal environment that is deadly to parasites and other dangerous organisms.
Pumpkin Seeds
Parasitic infections in the intestinal tract disrupt the body’s ability to absorb nutrients. Parasites such as tapeworms harm the body by stealing nutrients and drastically reducing our ability to maintain healthy digestion. Conventional medical treatments for parasitic infections can result in side effects of seizures and convulsions.
One study affecting 115 patients with adult tapeworms in their intestinal tract found extraordinary results with limited side effects from treatment using pumpkin seeds. Following treatment, all patients either expelled the tapeworms entirely, in pieces or had no further evidence of tapeworm infection. Although results occurred within a couple hours for some individuals, the successful removal of the parasite was observed to occur within 15 hours following treatment.
Pumpkin Seeds Are Full of Nutrients
The following list provides only some of the sources of nutrients which support the intestinal tract in removing toxic build up and cleansing the bowels of contaminants which can cause lowered immunity, diseases and cancer.
Of the nutrients contained in pumpkin seeds, zinc is of notable importance because of its role in the body to perform a variety of functions. When our intestinal tracts are suffering from poor health, cells are less likely to receive zinc even from the healthy food choices we make.
Individuals can exhibit symptoms of lethargy, decreased mental health, weakened immunity and possible neurological concerns. Zinc is needed in the following life processes:
Magnesium is another nutrient deserving respectable attention due to its importance in cleansing the intestines and promoting maximum health. Magnesium improves the motility of the gastrointestinal tract and colon thereby promoting the elimination of toxins and impurities.
Pau d’arco
Pau d’arco or Tabebuia avellanedae is a large deciduous tree which is native to Brazil and other warm areas of South America. Its name comes from the Portuguese language and means ‘bow stick’ because its strong, hard wood was used by native Indo tribes to make hunting bows.
The inner bark and the wood of the tree are used these days to make medicine but it has been used a lot longer in South America to treat a host of complaints including inflammatory conditions, arthritis, pain, dysentery, fever and even certain types of cancer.
Chemical research into the constituents of Pau d’arco has discovered that the wood possesses certain chemical compounds that confer its health benefits. Two compounds in particular; beta-lapachone and lapachol have anti-inflammatory, antiviral, antifungal and antibacterial properties as well as significant antioxidant value.
Laboratory tests demonstrated that these chemicals destroyed certain viruses, parasites and fungal strains but their effect on humans is less clear. Another problem when assessing the benefits of Pau d’arco is that the scientific research to date has mainly focused on the isolated chemical lapachol rather than the entire herb.
Candida
Candida albicans is a naturally occurring fungus that does not normally cause any problems, however when it grows in excessive amounts it causes a yeast infection known as candidiasis which can affect the skin, the mouth and the vagina. Lapachol which is one of the main chemical compounds found in Pau d’arco has known anti-fungal properties and is toxic to a variety of yeast infections.
Drinking Pau d’arco tea is recommended by many health experts in the treatment of candida while it can also be used as a douche to help clear vaginal yeast infections. Herbalists also recommend Pau d’arco to treat a variety of other fungal infections like athlete’s foot, ringworm and nail fungus.
Parasites
One of the many traditional uses of Pau d’arco was as a treatment for parasitic infections and several modern studies have confirmed that the lapachol found in Pau d’arco can destroy a variety of parasites.
Bacteria
Pau d’arco might be an effective treatment for bacterial illnesses because of the antimicrobial presence of lapachol. Various studies have demonstrated that lapachol is potentially toxic to a range of bacterium including staphylococcus aureus and Helicobacter pylori.
One study published in 2005 demonstrated that the inner bark of Pau d’arco effectively hindered the development of dangerous bacterial strains while causing no harm to the body’s beneficial microflora. Pau d’arco is considered by many to be a useful natural remedy for stomach ulcers, pneumonia, food poisoning and bacterial skin flare ups.
Oregano
Oregano has been gaining popularity as a natural remedy for many common health problems. Both fresh and dried oregano leaves have volatile oils with carminative, stomachic, diuretic, diaphoretic, expectorant, antibacterial, antioxidant, antimicrobial and mild tonic properties.
Oregano is also an excellent source of vitamins and minerals. It is high in vitamins A, C, and E complex, as well as zinc, magnesium, iron, calcium, potassium, copper, manganese and niacin.
Kills Intestinal Parasites
Parasites are unwanted inhabitants of the gastrointestinal system that can seriously increase the risk for various diseases. To kill these harmful parasites, dried oregano is a good natural option because it is extremely volatile and anti-parasitic.
Also, oregano contains two powerful antimicrobial agents known as thymol and carvacrol. These substances have shown to be very effective in treating intestinal parasites.
Clove Bud
Cloves contain a variety of tannins, sterols, triterpenes and flavonoids. It is believed that the high level of eugenol present in the essential oil imparts strong biological and antimicrobial activity.
Cloves are commonly used in conjunction with other herbal medications, and not alone. Clove bud has various biological activities such as antibacterial, antifungal, antioxidant and insecticidal properties. The organs of the body which are most affected when consuming cloves are the kidney, spleen and stomach.
Cloves contain powerful antimicrobial agents that travel through the bloodstream, killing microscopic parasites and parasitic larvae and eggs. Cloves are tremendously effective in killing malaria, tuberculosis, cholera, scabies and other parasites, viruses, bacteria and fungi including Candida. Cloves are also good for a lot of parasite symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, gas, diarrhea, dizziness, and low blood pressure. This makes clove an important ingredient in a parasite cleanse.
Fungicidal
Clove bud has been demonstrated to inhibit yeast and fungi growth in vitro, including against fluconazole-resistant strains of Candida spp. and Aspergillus spp.
In other words, Clove kills the fungi and inhibits further growth of Candida albicans. This is why anyone who has suffered from Candida overgrowth may have been told to use this supplement. Taking clove orally can help to reduce candida in the digestive tract as well.
Antibacterial
Several key compounds within cloves have been demonstrated to provide significant antibacterial protection. Cloves have an effect against Gram-negative, anaerobic, periodontal oral pathogens.

- Vitamin K
- Potassium
- Phosphorus
- Arginine, glutamic acid and 16 other amino acids
Of the nutrients contained in pumpkin seeds, zinc is of notable importance because of its role in the body to perform a variety of functions. When our intestinal tracts are suffering from poor health, cells are less likely to receive zinc even from the healthy food choices we make.
Individuals can exhibit symptoms of lethargy, decreased mental health, weakened immunity and possible neurological concerns. Zinc is needed in the following life processes:
- Maintain healthy bones, skin, hair and nails
- Support a healthy immune system
- Reduce systemic inflammation
- Regulates carbohydrate and protein metabolism
- Balance glucose levels
- Regulate hormones
Magnesium is another nutrient deserving respectable attention due to its importance in cleansing the intestines and promoting maximum health. Magnesium improves the motility of the gastrointestinal tract and colon thereby promoting the elimination of toxins and impurities.
