Dear ones, today many of our beloved children, and even some elders, are deeply troubled by worms in the stomach—intestinal parasite infections. Different varieties of parasites: roundworms, hookworms, and at times even long tapeworms develop inside the belly. We must understand why these worms form and how to prevent them.
Notice how maggots breed when animal dung lies rotting in one place over time; similarly, when food consumed today remains undigested and putrefies inside the belly over an extended period, worms are generated right there from that toxic, rotting matter. They do not merely come from the outside; they are produced within. As these worms proliferate, they devour whatever food the child eats; consequently, children fail to show healthy physical growth. No matter how much they eat, the parasites consume it all.
The children’s faces turn pale. Pale white patches begin to emerge on the skin. During sleep, children start grinding their teeth noisily. Even some elders grind their teeth in this manner. Until these intestinal parasites are driven out, achieving genuine vitality is simply out of the question.
Furthermore, many parents take pride in feeding their children commercial packaged snacks laced with synthetic dyes and chemicals. Mothers must stop giving such items and instead adopt natural dietary discipline. When food converts smoothly into bodily tissues (dhatus), disease cannot enter. But when lack of exercise halts digestion, stagnation sets in and worms multiply. People sit for hours chatting in clubs or street corners, yet fail to dedicate even half an hour to bodily movement. Those who do no physical exercise should survive merely on thin rice gruel (ganji); eating heavy food without movement guarantees putrefaction. Crores of parasites then nest inside, ruin the gut lining, and turn the individual weak and sickly. Eating sweets feeds these worms, while spicy food agitates them into severe abdominal cramping.
Dedicate at least 30 to 60 minutes daily to physical activity early in the morning or evening. In addition, use this herbal decoction made from the pomegranate tree (danimma chettu), which possesses potent anti-parasitic properties.
Following are food remedy and yogic management for intestinal worms, which will effectively relieve this issue.
Ingredients:
- Pomegranate bark – 50 g
Preparation:
Wash the bark and crush it lightly. Add it to a liter of water and boil it until quarter of the solution remains. Filter it, let it cool, and store it in a bottle.
Usage:
First thing in the morning on an empty stomach, drink about 70 ml (roughly a small cup) of this warm decoction. Thereafter, take about 20 ml (2 tablespoons) every single hour throughout the day until evening. On this cleansing day, eat only very light, thin rice gruel (ganji).
By evening, tiny threadworms, hookworms, and thick, long tapeworms will be dislodged and expelled through the stools, destroying their internal nests entirely. This standard dosage is meant for adults; for children, reduce the dosage proportionally according to their age.
Also, perform:
- Kapalabhati – Have your children practice Kapalbhati regularly. Sit comfortably in Vajrasana, form a hand mudra, and forcefully pump the abdominal wall inwards while expelling the breath. This internal pumping activates strong peristaltic movement within the intestines – Watch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B6bnFlVkKrE
- Udara chalana – The second practice is Udara Chalanam (abdominal flapping), also known as Agnisara. After exhaling all air completely, flutter and pump the abdominal wall rapidly in and out. This practice is effective for eradicating amoebiasis and deep parasite colonies – Watch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qbA6gVhFqBU
- Mayurasana – While somewhat challenging for heavy adults, it is quite accessible for agile children. Kneel down, place both palms flat on the ground pointing backward, lean forward onto your forearms, extend your legs back, balance the body’s entire weight on the hands, and raise your legs up parallel to the floor. Those with heavy or obese frames should not force it, but if children are taught this early, stomach ailments will never trouble them in life – Watch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Gfjj8FMORo
