Full moon coming up – Does your family have worms?
(Helpful tips plus instructional video at the end)
When it’s full moon and if you have a child in childcare or school, you may have noticed their behaviour changing around the full moon. This may include being more angry, restless at night, grinding their teeth during their sleep, complaining of sore tummies, itchy bottoms or suddenly eating you out of the house! These are just some of the possible symptoms that worms have come to visit. So if you suspect there’s a worm party at your house, have a read of the tips below, to help you naturally send these little critters on their way and stop them coming back. I had my first experience with threadworms when my son went to school for the first time a few years ago. Luckily, I’ve got a kick-ass (no pun intended!) worming protocol which I’d love to share with. Personally, I reckon worms are like candida, strep, staph and all the other bacteria and micro-organisms that live in and on us all the time. Fun fact – micro-organisms outnumber our human cells by 10 to 1! Let that sink in for a bit. Just because we all have candida living in us all the time, doesn’t mean we’re all walking around with thrush symptoms and just because staph and strep lives in and on us, doesn’t mean we’re all walking around with impetigo and strep throats all the time. Why is that?

Worming Mix
Some possible symptoms of worms:
Parasites tend to be more active around the full moon, so you may start seeing behavioural changes in your child (or yourself!) the couple of days leading up to the full moon. There may be changes in appetite – either an increased or decreased appetite and a strong craving for sweets There may be digestive changes – complaints of sore tummies or changes in stool. Your child may be calling out at night in pain and wriggling and writhing around without being able to tell you really what’s wrong, other than perhaps saying their bottom is hurting. Be aware the wormies may end up in the vaginal area as well, causing a lot of sharp pain, so if your daughter is saying her genital area is hurting, this is also something to keep an eye out for. Please do not be tempted to give over the counter pharmaceuticals for worms. As with all pharmaceuticals, this is not a long term solution and may cause unnecessary digestive upsets. It really is about susceptibility at the end of the day, so if we can get our digestive system’s strong, then we won’t be susceptible to these critters taking charge. Raw garlic, sunflower seeds, carrots and fermented foods are all said to help with worms, so be sure to include these in your diet as well

IMPORTANT:
Treat the whole family with the protocol below.
Treat your pets at the same time, but only using the Homeopathic worming mix, not the supplements. It’s only when our bodies are out of balance (due to stress, diet, medications etc) that we see symptoms of these micro-organisms. I personally believe we all have parasites/worms/intestinal critters living in us all the time. I’m guessing they possibly even have a role to play in our digestive health, potentially the same way that staph/strep/candida has a role to play in our bacterial balance. I once read an article of a woman who had an auto-immune disorder, who imported parasites from overseas, which she then ingested…and it kept the symptoms of her auto-immune condition under control. That really got me thinking…

Eugenie’s worming protocol – ACUTE treatment (links for these products below)
If you currently have symptoms of worms in your household, follow the steps below at any time during the month. You do not have to wait until the full moon. As soon as the symptoms present, start the protocol immediately:
2 pillules Homeopathic Worming Support 3 times daily for 3-5 days.
If your child’s symptoms get slightly worse, it may be a sign of the body eliminating the worms, so stop the remedies until the symptoms improve and then re-assess. If the symptoms return, then start with the remedies where you left off.
Personally, I prefer the worming support remedy, but if you find your family does not respond well to homeopathic combination remedies, you may like to try Cina 30c instead.
A probiotic daily for a month – we sell the Herbs of Gold probiotic as it is shelf stable and comes in infant, children and adult options.
