💡 Important:
While these foods may help reduce worm burden, prescribed anti-parasitic drugs (like albendazole or mebendazole) are often required for complete eradication, especially in severe infections.
If you want, I can make a simple “natural anti-worm food routine” for 1–2 weeks that combines these foods for maximum effect—safe and easy to follow.
Do you want me to do that?
