How To Treat Pinworms

My question is about how to treat pinworms.

Reading about pinworms I understand that at night they leave the human body via the anus and return after laying eggs.

As garlic is shown to be effective in killing pinworms, would it be advisable to use a garlic clove as a nighttime suppository to stop this from happening?

Hi Ben,

It is my understanding that your idea of using a garlic clove as a nighttime suppository is a good one. I would slightly crush the garlic clove so that the oils can be more easily absorbed.

I have heard that some people may have a slight skin reaction to the garlic in such a sensitive area. Just monitor it and remove the clove if you find that to be the case.

Ideally, it would be good for you to either eat some raw garlic or take some good quality garlic capsules, like Bear Paw Garlic. This will help take care of it from the inside and outside, too.

I hope you'll come back and let me know if this worked well for you. I'm sure other visitors to the site would appreciate your personal testimonial on how to treat pinworms.

To your good health!
