Bitter Gourd Juice
Bitter gourd, also known as bitter melon or karela, is a type of gourd used for hundreds of years in traditional medicine. This fruit is native to Asia and Africa and is now grown in many parts of the world. Bitter gourd juice is made from the fruit’s pulp and has various health benefits.
But did you know that bitter gourd juice contains several compounds that can help to treat and manage pinworm infection? Bitter gourd juice works by killing the worms and their eggs. The active ingredients in bitter gourd juice, cucurbitacin and charantin, have shown anthelmintic activity against pinworms. These compounds paralyze the worms and prevent them from moving or laying eggs. This allows them to be passed out of the body in the stool.
To use bitter gourd juice to treat pinworm infection, apply the juice to the affected area three to four times a day. One can also drink bitter gourd juice two to three times a day to fight off the infection from the inside out.
