As is consistent with most conditions that involve back pain, gentle exercise is an essential part of treatment. A herniated disk, or bulged, ruptured, or slipped disk, is a painful condition. Disks in your spine are essentially shock absorbers, but they are often at the root of back pain. If you experience a herniated disk, the various exercises and movements in this article may provide relief from the pain. 

Each disk has a soft jelly in the center, but it becomes herniated when that jelly slips past the tough exterior. You may not experience pain if a disk slips, but you will most of the time. Any disk in the spine can become herniated, and although it is a painful situation, it doesn’t require surgery. Common symptoms include shooting arm pain, back pain, neck pain, tingling or numbness in legs or feet, or tingling in one arm. Doctors recommend physical therapy or specific movements to treat the symptoms. 

In order for healing to occur, you have to take it easy and avoid overexertion. Although resting and applying a cold pack can aid the recovery process, gentle movement is very effective at relieving pain. To help your spinal disk heal, experiment with the following movements. 

Standing Overhead Reach

Helping to realign the disks, the standing overhead reach is a great place to begin your road to recovery and pain relief. To begin, stand up straight with your arms by your sides and feet hip-distance apart. Raise both of your arms over your head, but make sure to keep your shoulders down. Avoid bunching them up by your ears. Hold your arms above your head for two to three seconds to help stretch your middle and lower back. Lower your arms by your sides to return to the starting position. Repeat for a total of 10 times. 

Seated Chair Hamstring Stretch

If you experience a herniated disk in the lower spine, strengthening and lengthening the hamstring muscles can help support your core and back. For a gentle hamstring stretch complete this seated chair variation. Sit on the edge of a chair, keep your back straight, and plant your feet on the ground. Extend your right foot slightly until your leg is straight and your right heel is on the ground. Lean forward over the right leg until you feel a stretch along the hamstring, ensuring that your back is straight and not rounded. Hold this position for 30 seconds and then repeat on the other leg. 

Knee To Chest Stretch

Stretching both your hamstrings, glutes, and lower back, this stretch is beneficial whether you have a herniated disk or general back pain. Carefully lie on your back and extend both of your legs out. Bring your right knee toward you and grab the outside of your shin with your hands. Pull your right knee closer to your chest until you feel a stretch in your back. Hold this position for five seconds and then release. Repeat on the other side and continue alternating until you complete five to 10 times per leg. 

Standing Lumbar Extension

Lessen the pressure on the disks in your back and you can experience some relief. Stand up straight with your feet hip-distance apart and arms by your side. Put your hands on your hips and gently push your hips forward, extending your lower back. Hold this pose for two to three seconds and then return to the starting position. Repeat for a total of 10 times.

Neck Stretch

If you experience a herniated disk in the cervical region of the spine, then you have to stretch both the neck and back. Doing so helps to relieve pressure and pain. Sit up straight on a chair with your feet planted firmly on the ground. Tuck your chin to your chest and hold for five seconds, feeling the stretch in the back of your neck. Raise your head to return to the starting position. Tilt your head to the left, lowering your left ear toward your left shoulder. Do so without twisting your neck and hold this position for five seconds. Return to neutral position and then repeat on the right side, holding for five seconds. Repeat this sequence five to 10 times, two to three times per day.

The post Herniated Disk Pain? These Exercises May Help appeared first on Dherbs - The Best All Natural Herbal Remedies & Products.

Sedentary lifestyles have made lower back pain extremely common in modern day society. Sitting throughout the day in an office chair shortens the hip muscles and strains the lower back. Lower back pain also results from intense exercise or complex injuries like herniated discs, vertebral slippage, and/or spinal narrowing.

In most instances, people can experience relief from lower back pain by performing specific yoga poses. Yoga helps to strengthen the core, correct posture, and increase flexibility and stability, all of which improve back health.

Important Note: Never do any pose that causes discomfort. Listen to your body in each yoga pose and don’t push yourself into pain. If something hurts, ease the stretch and engage in a modified version of the pose.

Legs Up The Wall

Passive inversion helps to improve circulation to the upper body, helping to relieve tension in the legs and lower back. Start by sitting on the floor with your right shoulder, hip, and thigh against the wall. Slowly lay your torso on the floor and pivot your body to swing your legs up the wall. Your butt should be near the wall and your legs resting on the wall. Extend the arms to a “T” position and rest here for five minutes, breathing deeply.

Child’s Pose

This simple pose helps to relieve pressure in the lower back by elongating the spine. The decompressing action gives you a nice stretch. Start by kneeling on your mat with your knees hip-distance apart and your feet together behind you. Take a big inhale and lay your torso forward onto your thighs as you exhale, extending your arms overhead. If you can, rest your forehead on the ground. Remain in this pose for one to three minutes.

Sphinx Pose

Supporting the natural curvature of the lower back, this pose can help relieve tension and stretch the abdominal muscles. Lie on your stomach and keep your legs together. Place your forearms on the mat with your elbows by your armpits. Press up and lift your chest off the floor. Press the tops of your hips, thighs, and feet into the mat and think about lengthening your spine. Hold this pose for one to three minutes.

Reclined Supine Twist

This is a beginner yoga pose that is great if you experience muscle tightness in your lower back, shoulders, hips, or upper back. Lie flat on your back and bend your right knee toward your chest, keeping your foot flat on the floor. Let your knee fall to your left side and extend your arms out to form a “T” position. Keep both shoulders pressed against the mat and look to your left. Hold this pose for two minutes and then repeat on the opposite side.

Standing Forward Fold

In addition to stretching out the lower back muscles, this pose helps to stretch the hamstrings and calf muscles. Stand straight up with your feet hip-distance apart. Hinge at the hips and slowly let your torso hang down. Tuck your chin and relax your shoulders, creating a long spine. Hang here for one to three minutes. If you need to modify the pose, keep your knees slightly bent and rest your hands on yoga blocks, your thighs, or a chair in front of you.

Downward Facing Dog

You can’t have an article about relieving lower back pain and omit downward facing dog from the list. This pose helps elongate the spine and strengthen core muscles. Start on your hands and knees in a tabletop position. Spread your fingers wide to evenly distribute your weight between your hands. Slowly press back and raise your knees off the floor, lifting your tailbone toward the ceiling. If you can, push your heels into the floor. If you cannot do that, remain on the balls of your feet with your knees slightly bent. Hold this position for five breaths. Return to the tabletop position and then repeat four more times.

The post 6 Yoga Poses To Relieve Lower Back Pain appeared first on Dherbs - The Best All Natural Herbal Remedies & Products.

Sciatica is a condition that is signified by a sharp pain in the sciatic nerve, which is the longest and widest nerve in the human body. Because it extends from the lower back to the knees, one can experience knee pain, gluteus pain, or pain in the hamstrings. Scientists believe that roughly 40% of people will experience sciatica at some point in their lives. It is not so much a condition as it is a symptom of a larger problem that involves the sciatic nerve.

What Are The Causes?

There are many things that can cause sciatica, but roughly 90% of sciatica cases are caused by a herniated (slipped) disc. The spine is made up into three parts: vertebrae, nerves, and discs. Discs are made up of cartilage, which acts as a cushion between the vertebrae. A herniated disc occurs when the disc slips out of place, which ultimately puts pressure on the sciatic nerve. No matter what the cause is, they all involve irritating the root(s) of the lower lumbar and lumbosacral spine. Other causes may include:

• Lumbar spinal stenosis
• Degenerative disc disease
• Pregnancy
• Muscle spasm in the buttocks or back
• Tumors on the spine
• Spinal infection

Massage Therapy

Massage therapy is very beneficial for those with sciatica. You can help yourself even more by massaging the area with tiger balm or St. John’s wort oil about 2-3 times a day. St. John’s wort oil has amazing anti-inflammatory properties that can help relieve inflammation in the affected area. Try purchasing a session with someone who does trigger point massage therapy. The focus points should be the lower back, buttocks, hips, thighs, hamstrings, and knees. You may also want to consider getting several chiropractic adjustments to help realign the spine.

Yoga Poses

Yoga and stretching are great natural remedies to help relieve sciatica. This may seem counterintuitive, considering that movement can cause pain, but certain movements actually relieve the pain. Try laying down on your back and bringing your knees to your chest. You can alternate legs and do both at the same time. Yoga poses to consider are Child’s Pose, Downward Dog, and Cobra.

Ice Whenever You Can

It is very helpful to ice the affected area with an ice pack. Ice for 15-20 minutes at a time to help decrease inflammation. If you like heat, alternate between hot and cold throughout the day to help relieve pain.

Brew Valerian Root Tea

Valerian root can be brewed into a tea and it has a relaxing effect on chronic nerve pain. Because sciatica is usually accompanied by muscle spasms, valerian tea is a great natural remedy. Brew 1 teaspoon of valerian root in 1 cup of hot water for 10 minutes. Drink this herbal tea several times a week to help relieve the pain.

Avoid Sitting

Try to avoid sitting down for long periods of time. It is best to get moving to avoid bulging discs. Being static can increase inflammation in the affected area and make the condition worse. The best exercises to do are isometric exercises. These exercises don’t involve joint angle or muscle length change, which means that you won’t be stressing the sciatic nerve.

Try Acupuncture

Acupuncture is another alternative remedy that can help relieve sciatica. By stimulating certain acupressure points, the treatment can help open certain channels in the body and allow the nervous system to flow smoothly. By relaxing the muscles, acupuncture can help the body naturally heal itself.

The post 6 Natural Remedies For Sciatica appeared first on Dherbs - The Best All Natural Herbal Remedies & Products.

You may have heard that life and death, sickness and disease start in the colon. To physically heal the human body of any degenerative disease, you must place emphasis on cleansing first and foremost, and if necessary, repairing.

A selection of diseases and challenges of the colon include:

• Colitis
• Colon cancer
• Diverticulitis
• Diverticulosis
• Ulcerative colitis
• Prolapsed colon
• Constipation

There are many ways to cleanse and repair the colon and there are also many helpful tools that can help you to do such.

Nothing sabotages the health of the colon like the Standard American Diet, which is greatly acid-forming and thus mucus-forming. It is full of unhealthy and toxic meat and dairy products. Refined grains and starches are just as harmful, creating a gluey and paste-like substance that sticks to the colon’s walls.

The body cannot digest meat (especially cooked meat) no matter what you believe or no matter what you have been told or heard. Cooked or process meat lacks enzymes unlike plants and fruits that are loaded with enzymes (life force) and which unlike meat, dairy products, and refined grains and starches – promote peristalsis (bowel movement).

When we consume meat, dairy products, refined grains/starches, and processed foods – the aftermath of these things sit in our colons and rot and putrefy. The stench will sometimes seep through the pores of the skin (which is why some people simply smell bad regardless of what they do, e.g. bathe, shower, wear perfume/cologne etc.).

Bad breath (halitosis) generally is the result of a toxic, compacted, and polluted colon, which in turn results from a diet based on processed animal fats and protein (meat and dairy) and other processed and cooked food.

Diseases of the Colon

The human colon is nearly 30 feet long (27 feet to be exact). With a colon this long, clearly humans are not meant to consume animal flesh. It takes about four days for the human body to digest (to the best of its ability) animal flesh or meat compared to only a few hours to digest (and eliminate) fruits and plants.

When we don’t take care of our colon, a host of colon-specific pathologies may result, i.e., colon or colorectal cancer, colitis, ulcerative colitis, irritable bowel syndrome, diverticulitis, colon stasis (constipation), colic, inflammatory bowel disease, and coloptosis to name a few, but also certain medical procedures may also need to be performed (if you are into allopathic medicine), procedures such as colonoscopy, colosigmoidoscopy, colostomy, and colonic fistula.

Colorectal Cancer

A malignant neoplastic disease of the large intestine, characterized by melena, a change in bowel habits, and the passing of blood. Malignant tumors of the large bowel usually occur after age 50, are slightly more frequent in women than in men, and are almost as common lung cancer in the United States.

The high incidence of colorectal cancer in the western world, as contrasted with the low incidence in Japan and in rural Africa, suggests that a diet high in refined carbohydrates and beef and low in roughage may be a causative factor.

The risk of large bowel cancer is increased in chronic ulcerative colitis, in diverticulosis, in villous adenomas, and especially in familial polyposos of the colon.

Most lesions of the large bowel are adenocarcinomas; one half arise in the rectum, one fifth in the sigmoid colon, approximately one sixth in the cecum and ascending colon, and the rest in other sites. Rectal tumors may cause pain, bleeding, and a feeling of incomplete evacuation; they metastasize slowly through lymphatic channels and veins, and occasionally prolapse through the anus. Mosbys supra, p. 279

One of the biggest causative factors of colorectal cancer is meat consumption, especially red meat. Colorectal cancer is one of the most commonly diagnosed cancers in the U.S. According to the C.D.C. (Center For Disease Control) in 2006, 70,270 men and 68,857 women were diagnosed with colorectal cancer. This same year, 26,801 men and 26,395 women died from colorectal cancer.

Colitis

Colitis is an inflammatory condition of the large intestine, either one of the episodic, functional, irritable bowel syndromes or one of the more serious chronic, progressive, inflammatory bowel diseases.

Irritable bowel syndrome is characterized by bouts of colicky pain and diarrhea or constipation, often resulting from emotional stress. Because individuals with colitis may be irritated by different substances, the diet is individualized to avoid known irritants. Kinds of irritable bowel syndrome are splastic colon and mucous colitis. Inflammatory bowel disease is characterized by abscess formation, severe diarrhea, bleeding, and ulceration of the mucosa of the intestine. Weight loss and pain are significant. Kinds of inflammatory bowel disease include Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis. Mosby’s supra, p. 277

Anytime you have the prefix “itis” you are dealing with inflammation and when there is inflammation, there is unhealthy mucus, and when there is unhealthy mucus, there is acidosis or excess acid and excess acid is the result of consuming acidic products, i.e. animals fats and proteins (meat and dairy products) but also refined carbohydrates: starches, grains.

Diarrhea

Diarrhea is the frequent passage of loose, watery stools, generally as the result of increased motility in the colon.

When diarrhea is present, the body (intestinal tract) is quickly attempting to evacuate something. Diarrhea steals water (fluid) from the tissues of the body and thus sodium content in the body is lost. It is very important that when diarrhea is present that you replace sodium and electrolytes. Sea salt is a great source of natural sodium as well as celery (celery juice). You can find an electrolyte solution (e.g. Trace Minerals Electrolytes) on the shelves of good health food stores.

Colic

According to Mosby’s Medical Dictionary, colic is a sharp visceral pain resulting from torsion, obstruction, or smooth muscle spasm of a hollow or tubular organ. For many infants, grains are a great cause of colic. Infants should not be fed grains for the first two years of life. Their little digestive systems cannot handle grains. The same applies to honey. Honey should not be given for the first two years of life.

Ulcerative colitis

A chronic, episodic, inflammatory disease of the large intestine and rectum, characterized by profuse watery diarrhea containing varying amounts of blood, mucus, and pus. Also known as Crohn’s disease and Inflammatory Bowel Disease. Mosby’s supra, p. 1208

Diverticulitis

Diverticula are pouch-like herniations in the wall of a tubular organ, such as the intestine or colon. When fecal matter penetrates thin-walled diverticula, it can cause inflammation and abscess formation in the tissues surrounding the colon. With repeated inflammation, the lumen of the colon narrows and may become obstructed. During periods of inflammation, the patient will experience crampy pain, particularly over the sigmoid colon, fever, and leukocytosis. Mosby’s supra, p. 382

Diverticulosis

The presence of pouchlike herniations through the muscular layer of the colon, particularly the sigmoid colon. Diverticulosis affects increasing numbers of people over 50 years of age and may be the result of the modern, highly refined, low-residue diet. Most patients with this condition have few symptoms except for occasional bleeding from the rectum. An increase in the dietary fiber can aid in propelling the feces through the colon. Hemorrhage from bleeding diverticula can become quite severe. Diverticulosis may lead to diverticulitis. Mosby’s supra, p. 382

Hemorrhoid

A variscosity in the lower rectum or anus caused by congestion in the veins of the hemorrhoidal plexus. Mosby’s supra, p. 559

Hemorrhoids result when there is excessive straining during bowel movement in order to propel the feces from the rectum through the anus. This is clearly the result of a high meat, dairy, and other processed foods diet greatly low or lacking in roughage or dietary fiber.

This is why consuming enzymatic foods are a must because enzymes help to stimulate peristalsis. Enzymatic foods are living foods and include fruits, vegetables, seeds, and nuts (and some grains). Raw foods (fruits, nuts/seeds, and veggies) are loaded with enzymes!

If you are straining while on the toilet, you’re constipated. If you are bleeding from the rectum, chances are you have ulcerative colitis or diverticulosis, and in the worse case scenario, perhaps colorectal cancer.

Coloproctitis

An inflammation of both the colon and rectum. Also called colorectitis. Mosby’s supra, p. 279

This disease clearly suggests that both colon and rectum are inundated with mucus, usually resulting from an acid-forming diet.

Coloptosis

The prolapse or downward displacement of the colon. Mosby’s supra, p. 279

Prolapse of the colon (coloptosis) is very common nowadays considering how impacted people are, especially obese people, and how gravity is still on the scene pulling on our organs, and the colon is no exception here.

Intestinal Parasites and Worms

Parasite and worm infestation could also be the cause of colon diseases and disorders, especially if you consume large concentrations of meat. Known worms of the intestines include intestinal pinworms and tape worms.

Several species of tapeworms, such as Taenia saginata (beef tapeworm), Taenia solium (pork tapeworm), and Diphyllobothrium latum (fish tapeworm) can cause infection in people.

Parasite and worm infestation is no joke. These little creepy critters can really sabotage your health. It is imperative that people, especially those who consume meat, perform at least one major parasite and worm cleanse (e.g. Dherbs.com Parasite and Worm Cleanse) a year.

The Value of Villi

One of the detriments of a compacted and toxic colon full of hardened fecal matter is that the villi are obstructed. These little shaggy hairs that stick out from the surface of the small intestine absorb nutrients (i.e. vitamins and minerals) from the foods we consume (if we are in fact consuming real food which would naturally contain nutrients such as vitamins and minerals).

When the colon is impacted, the villi are obstructed from its designed function. Think about it, even if we are eating something that does contain nutrition (as an exception to what we commonly eat), if the colon walls are impacted with hardened fecal matter, no nutrition will be absorbed via the villi.

When we think about the colon, we also have to think about the villi.

Intestinal Ecology

We must also think about the state of our good bacteria that resides in our colon.

A toxic and impacted colon is probably going to have an imbalance of good and bad bacteria thus leading to yeast infection. A healthy colon is going to have a balanced ratio of good bacteria (probiotics) and bad bacteria, or healthy bacteria and unhealthy bacteria.

You shouldn’t just be concerned with probiotics (acidophilus) after having a colonic performed, but all the time. Intestinal ecology is very important! Yeast infections are not just limited to the vagina of females, but also the blood and the intestines. So colon or intestinal health also takes into consideration the ratio of good and bad bacteria.

Natural Remedies For Intestinal Diseases and Disorders

Weekly enemas
are very helpful for keeping the rectum clean, healthy, and evacuated. These are highly recommended by us at Dherbs.com. Enemas can be performed in the comfort of your own home (bathroom). Enemas are best performed in the morning or in the evening time. Mornings are more ideal in my personal opinion. You can add liquid chlorophyll to your enema water (1-2 ounces), 35% food-grade hydrogen peroxide (half an ounce), and/or liquid bentonite clay (1 ounce). For more information on enemas, please read our article “Enemas” in the “articles” section.

Colonics
are even better than enemas. Colonics allow the entire colon to be flushed of toxins, pollutants, old fecal debris, parasites and worms, etc. Colonics can be performed weekly or monthly or perhaps every 3 months. To learn more about colonics, please read our article Colonics in the articles section.

Carnelian water
is a concoction of crystal energy (vibration) and water, basically an elixir. There is no better stone (crystal) to aid in stomach and intestinal complaints than carnelian. This stone can provide fast-acting results when placed directly on the tummy. This is a most ideal stone for females and can be used for stomach complaints as well as female complaints, e.g. abdominal cramping and/or spasms (perhaps during that time of the month). The bigger the piece of Carnelian, the better!

Daily anti-gravity exercise, in addition to colonics and enemas, is a great natural remedy for coloptosis.

Other great exercises that can help to keep your colon optimally healthy and functioning include yoga, Tai chi, and deep breathing to name a few.

Rubbing the belly with warm natural oil (coconut, olive, caster) in a circular motion will help to stimulate the colon and thus bowel movement. This is great to do before performing an enema. Oil in a glass container can be warmed up with hot water (in a sink). Run hot water from the faucet on the bottle for a few minutes and/or let the bottle sit or float in a sink full of hot water for a few minutes (10-15 minutes).

If you follow the foregoing information, you won’t need to take harmful and addictive man-made pharmaceutical drugs such as Ex-lax, Dulc-lax, Kaopectate, Milk of Magnesia, and Pepto-Bismol which all pollute and toxify the liver and blood; nor will you have to undergo or receive a colonoscopy, colostomy, and/or colonic fistula.

By all means, you’d be wise to avoid bulk-forming laxatives, lubricants, stool softeners, saline laxatives, stimulant laxatives and combination medicines. They do harm in the human body and they never knock out the root cause of the problem. Drugs only masquerade!

Dietary Intervention

Diet, a bad or poor one, can really sabotage health, especially colon health. One of the most harmful things a person can do is eat three square meals per day, especially if those three square meals contain or include meat and dairy products.

Did you know that if you eat three meals per day you should be having three bowel movements per day? You should have a bowel movement for every meal you eat and if you don’t, something is wrong.

The best area to start in as far as healing from intestinal diseases and disorders is that of diet. Cut out or greatly cut back on consumption of animal derived products (such as meat and dairy products).

Eat plenty of raw foods [fruits, vegetables, seeds, nuts] as they are enzymatic and fiber-rich, which greatly helps with peristalsis (bowel movement).

Eat a big green leafy salad every day or at least 3-4 days per week. This is a great roughage provider. Salad (as other greens and veggies) will sweep the walls of the colon helping to maintain the health and wellbeing of the intestinal tract.

Prunes and figs are great foods and aids for maintaining the health of the colon and ensuring consistent bowel movement. These are highly recommended, perhaps as snack foods.

Prune juice and/or plum juice are considered liquid plumbers. These will get a clogged colon moving again in a short period of time. A cup or half a cup nightly should suffice.

Eliminate refined and processed foods from your diet as much as possible. Refrain from eating a lot of cooked foods. The best-cooked and processed foods to consume are vegan in nature.

Drink fresh fruit and vegetable juice daily (about 4-8 ounces). Invest in a good juicer (i.e. Jack Lalane’s brand, c. $150 in price).

The best water to drink while performing any cleanse (including a colon cleanse) is hands down alkaline water. If you can’t find alkaline water, your next best choices are distilled water and/or spring water. Drink 6-10 glasses of water daily. Water helps keep the body in general and the colon in particular, lubricated.

Aloe vera juice is a great beverage to assist with maintenance of the intestinal tract. It is especially helpful when there are ulcers present, including ulcerative colitis. It is also helpful for coloproctitis. Aloe vera juice is an intestinal tonic.

Colonically Beneficial Herbs

There are a plethora of beneficial therapeutic herbs that help cleanse, repair, tone, fortify, and strengthen the intestinal tract. Laxative (as well as aperient and cathartic) herbs are very important as they help stimulate peristalsis and evacuate the bowels.

Good laxative herbs include Senna Leaf (and Pods), Cascara Sagrada, Buckthorn, Glucomannan, Bilwa, Bibitaki, Rhubarb, Aloe Vera (resin), Jalap Root, Musta, and Mandrake. These herbs are great for the most severe and stubborn colon problems, especially constipation.

Good colon conditioning herbs include Black Walnut Hull, Chamomile, Goldenseal Root, and Licorice root. These herbs help cleanse and tone the colon.

Good mucous-membrane soothing (mucilaginous) herbs include Slippery Elm Bark, Irish Moss, Agar Agar, Acacia Gum, and Marshmallow. These herbs help soothe an inflamed and irritated colon.

Good carminative and antispasmodic herbs include Fennel Seed, Anise Seed, Cardamom Seed, Caraway Seed, Cinnamon bark, and Ginger 
root. These herbs help calm an upset stomach and counteract indigestion as well as flatulence (gas).

Good fiberous herbs include Pamita, Psyllium Husk, Fennel Seed, Apple Pectin, and vegetable cellulose (technically not an herb). These herbs provide dietary fiber that sweep the walls of the colon and aid in the formation of bulky stools.

To help rid the body of parasites and worms, consume anthelmintic and vermifuge herbs such as Peachtree Bark, Wormwood, Tansy, Betel Nut, Southernwood, Epazote, Pumpkin Seed, Worm Seed, Black Seed, Male Fern and Pink Root.

Senna is a great herb that not only help evacuate the bowels of hardened and stubborn fecal matter but also helps to kill intestinal worms and parasites in the intestines.

To further help get rid of parasites and worms in the intestinal tract, drink pomegranate juice (4 ounces daily for a specific duration or period of time).

In addition to pomegranate juice, consume one tablespoon of olive oil and/or castor oil daily (for a certain period of time) as these oils not only lubricate the colon, but also smother and kill worms and parasites in the colon, especially pinworms.
