The primary treatments will be medications to kill the specific parasite identified and manage symptoms.
Increased hydration is also recommended, especially if diarrhea is a symptom.
The supplements have not been evaluated or approved by the FDA for their intended purpose – and may contain ingredients that can interact with other medications and cause more harm than good.
The parasite cleansing systems being promoted on the internet and social media are not medically necessary, can cause alarming side effects and have not been proven to kill parasites.
If you have symptoms of a parasite infection, my advice is to seek professional medical help and not waste your money on home remedies.

If you have worms, a GP will prescribe medicine to kill them. You take this for 1 to 3 days. Any worms in your gut will eventually pass out in your poo. You may not notice this. A pharmacist can help with worm infections. Most worm infections are not serious and can be easily treated with medicine. They're common in the UK and can be treated with medicine from a pharmacy. It does not matter which type of worm you have – all worm infections are treated in a similar way.

Some natural health practitioners say that parasite infections can be treated with a cleanse comprised of herbs and supplements. Very limited research exists on whether any natural ingredients may help treat parasite infections, but some people suggest the following herbal supplements may be beneficial: anise, thyme, rosemary, cumin, marjoram, barberry, berberine, black walnut, clove oil, mint, goldenseal, grapefruit seed extract, propolis, Oregon grape, wormwood. Some animal studies suggest that the following natural ingredients may have anti-parasitic effects: thyme, rosemary, cumin, marjoram, garlic, ginger, tongkat ali, wormwood, berberine, which is found in barberry, propolis, which is made by bees. According to a 2024 review, some animal studies found that probiotic therapy may play a possible role in treating parasitic infections by increasing the healthy bacteria in your gut and promoting antibacterial activity. Similarly, a 2017 review found that vitamin A, zinc, and selenium may reduce the severity of parasitic infections. Supplementing with these minerals and vitamins might, therefore, form part of a parasite cleanse. Eating garlic, ginger, and foods high in vitamin A, taking supplements, such as probiotics, vitamin A, zinc, and selenium, may also help treat parasites.
