This was posted at one of my groups a couple days ago:
One of the replies was this:
I had to look it up. I found an ingredient list:
I recognized the ginger.... zingiber officinale... but that's about all I recognized. I thought I'd look up and see what some of them are and I started with the one just above the ginger and worked my way up. I continued seeking but I got very tired during the search. If I was to read these I'd probably want to read them from the bottom up. cont., next post |

Calcarea Carbonic - shell calcium carbonate http://abchomeopathy.com/r.php/Calc http://www.wisegeek.org/what-is-calcarea-carbonica.htm#did-you-know Chenopodium Anthelminticum - Jerusalem Oak Characteristic pain in scapula very marked. Symptoms of apoplexy, right hemiplegia, and aphasia. Stertorous breathing (Opium). Sudden vertigo. Meniere's disease. Affections of auditory nerves (Nat salicyl). Oil of Chenopodium for hookworm and roundworm. http://www.webhomeopath.com/homeopathy/homeopathic-remedies/homeopathy-remedy-Chenopodium_Anthelminticum.html Common Name Wormseed Wormseed is a Central American herb that has been used for centuries to expel parasitic worms from the body. http://www.pfaf.org/user/Plant.aspx?LatinName=Chenopodium+ambrosioides+anthelminticum (Note - okay, there are three plants called wormseed.) Epazote Information & Purchase Also Known As: Aceite de Paico, Aceite de Quenopodio, Ansérine, Epazote, Épazote, Fausse Ambroisie, Huile d'Ansérine, Huile de Chénopode, Jesuit Tea, Mexican Tea, Thé du Mexique. CAUTION: See separate listings for Wormseed and Wormwood. Scientific Name: Chenopodium ambrosioides; Chenopodium anthelminticum. Family: Chenopodiaceae. http://www.amazondiscovery.com/Epazote.html (I feel like I'm going around in circles.) chenopodium anthelminticum also brought up this result, information about a similar formula to Para Solve, but which is called PARALIXER. http://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/drugInfo.cfm?id=78807 http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Chenopodium_anthelminticum_Ypey60.jpg put Chenopodium anthelminticum into wiki search and result is: Category:Chenopodium anthelminticum Jump to: navigation, search Redirect arrow without text.svg This category is located at Category:Dysphania anthelmintica Reason: Chenopodium anthelminticum is a synonym of Dysphania anthelmintica (Retrieved on 31 October 2012) http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Chenopodium_anthelminticum There is a bit of a page on Jerusalem oak. http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Dysphania_botrys_BB-1913.jpg Cina - wormseed This is a children’s remedy, - big, fat, rosy, scrofulous, corresponding to many conditions that may be referred to intestinal irritation, such as worms and accompanying complaints. An irritability of temper, variable appetite, grinding of teeth, and even convulsions, with screams and violent jerkings of the hands and feet, are all within its range of action. The Cina patient is hungry, cross, ugly, and wants to be rocked. Pain in shocks. Skin sensitive to touch. https://abchomeopathy.com/r.php/Cina The homeopathic remedy Cina is prepared from an herb known as wormseed. As a single remedy, Cina is most well known for its ability to provide relief from irritation in the intestines frequently associated with invasion by common parasites like pin worms in the case of humans as well as animals. http://www.herbs2000.com/homeopathy/cina.htm Artemisia cina, commonly known as santonica (zahr el shieh el -khorasani), Levant wormseed, and wormseed, is an herbaceous perennial of the daisy family. Its dried flowerheads are the source of the vermifugic drug santonin since ancient times.[1] Its common names arise from its known ability to expel worms. The powder is grayish-green in colour with an aromatic odour and a bitter taste. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artemisia_cina (Note - strangely, I'd already seen and read about cina, when I'd posted about santonica. I wondered why it was being listed again, or in this way. Putting the word cina by itself in search does not produce much of anything (or lots of unrelated things), so I found myself adding keywords such as homeopathy to get to it. When I put the keyword wormseed into wiki, I had choices: Dysphania ambrosioides, American wormseed or epazote, a culinary and medicinal herb from Central and South America Artemisia cina an Asian medicinal plant https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wormseed The second one was the one from the earlier search and post about santonica. I figured it must be because we're not looking for a culinary herb. Before closing out the page I thought I'd browse just to look at Dysphania ambrosioides, American wormseed. After reading in a ways, I realized it needs to be noted here, too, and is probably what this ingredient is as opposed to the other.) Epazote, wormseed, Jesuit's tea, Mexican tea, Paico or Herba Sancti Mariæ (Dysphania ambrosioides, formerly Chenopodium ambrosioides) is an herb native to Central America, South America, and southern Mexico. ------- Oil of chenopodium is derived from this plant. It is antihelminthic, that is, it kills intestinal worms, and was once listed for this use in the US Pharmacopeia. ------- In the early 1900s it was one of the major anthelmintics used to treat ascarids and hookworms in humans, cats, dogs, horses, and pigs. Usually, oil of chenopodium was used. It was sometimes referred to as Baltimore Oil, because of the large production facility in Baltimore that specialized in extracting the oil from the plant. Chenopodium was replaced with other, more effective and less toxic anthelmintics in the 1940s. Chenopodium is still used to treat worm infections in humans in many countries. In Honduras, as well as other Latin American countries, the whole plant or the leaves are ground and added to water. This mixture is then consumed. In a few areas in Latin America, the plant also is used to treat worm infections in livestock. (Note - then again, I digress. I guess I had cina the Mexican cactus that came up through wiki search on mind. The wormseed name i shared by the two others, but cina is not a name of the Dysphania ambrosioides, only Epazote, wormseed, Jesuit's tea, Mexican tea, Paico or Herba Sancti Mariæ are. Ah, I'll sort it out later... maybe. cina is what was listed in the Para Solve list.) (hmm...) The herb wormseed, which forms the basis of the homeopathic remedy Cina, is indigenous to an extensive area extending from the eastern region of the Mediterranean to Siberia. Wormseed has a preference for growing conditions that are partially dry. http://www.herbs2000.com/homeopathy/cina.htm http://www.naturalnutritionals.com/whci30c.html Croton Tiglium - Purging Croton https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Croton_tiglium Sometimes Croton tiglium is used to treat common ailments such as colds, fever, and diarrhea. It is also reported to delay the menstrual cycle, treat paralysis, and heal a toothache. New reports emerge on a continuous basis. For example, the oil from the seeds has recently been used to treat schistosomiasis, a parasitic disease. People who follow homeopathic medical practices should understand that most homeopathic practitioners use plants, minerals, and herbs that are poisonous to heal and treat their patients. They dilute the remedy, so it no longer harms the patient, but heals. For example, Croton tiglium contains phorbol, a carcinogenic or cancer-causing agent. http://www.wisegeek.com/what-are-the-medical-uses-of-croton-tiglium.htm Filix Mas - male fern The plant is sometimes referred to in ancient literature as worm fern. The root was used, until recent times, as an anthelmintic to expel tapeworms, but has been replaced by less toxic and more effective drugs. The anthelmintic activity has been claimed to be due to flavaspidic acid, a phloroglucinol derivative. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dryopteris_filix-mas Homeopathic remedies are prescribed on the principal that 'like cures like', in a tiny dilution - so the indications below are what a healthy person would feel if taking Filix Mas. If your symptoms fit within the symptoms below, then Filix Mas would be a good bet. ------ A remedy for worm symptoms, especially with constipation. Tapeworm. Soporific conditions. Torpid inflammations of lymphatic glands ( Maceration of fresh root.) Pulmonary tuberculosis in young patients, no fever, with limited, ulcerated lesions, formerly classified as scrofula. http://abchomeopathy.com/r.php/Fil http://plants.usda.gov/java/profile?symbol=DRFI2 Dryopteris filix-mas is perhaps unique among the plants in the 1648 collection, as not only are the uses of its roots and leaves described, but also those of its fumes. The roots were thought to be useful for ridding the digestive system of worms both “broade and long”, with the treatment recommended to be half an ounce of roots “bruised and boyled in medde [mead] or honyed water, and drunke”, which, as a side effect, also lessened “the swelling and hardnesse of the spleene”. http://www.botanic-garden.ox.ac.uk/dryopteris-filix-mas Gambogia - Gummi Gutti. Acts upon mucous membranes, especially of the intestinal canal, producing irritation, excessive secretion, and sometimes inflammation. http://www.homeoint.org/seror/cowperthwaite/gamb.htm As a Homeopathic or used simply as a micro-nutritional, Gambogia has demonstrated effectiveness against the following symptomology: "Has a very intense and definite action especially on the gastroenteric tract." -pain in stomach after food; pain and distension of abdomen from flatulence, after stool; -rumbling and rolling (in abdomen); -diarrhea with sudden and forcible ejection of bilious stools; -ileo-cecal region sensitive to pressure (Boericke) http://www.vaxa.com/ingredients/Gambogia.cfm http://homeoresearch.blogspot.com/2010/01/gambogia.html Granatum - pomegranate http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/granatum Granatum Punica As a vermifuge for the expulsion of tapeworm, and homeopathically for the following symptomatic indications. Salivation, with nausea, and vertigo. Spasm of the glottis. http://abchomeopathy.com/r.php/Gran 19 Punica granatum Linn. Family: Punicaceae English name: Wild pomegranate http://www.hort.purdue.edu/newcrop/parmar/19.html Lycopodium Clavatum - Club Moss This drug is inert until the spores are crushed. Its wonderful medicinal properties are only disclosed by trituration and succussion. http://homeoint.org/books/boericmm/l/lyc.htm The spores of this moss, "Lycopodium powder", are explosive if present in the air in high enough densities. They were used as flash powder in early photography. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lycopodium_clavatum Lycopodium clavatum is an evergreen plant from which the pollen is used for many treatments in homeopathy. Referred to by many names, including wolf’s-foot clubmoss and stag’s-horn clubmoss, it has a pale yellow pollen from which lycopodium, a substance used to treat various health conditions, is derived. In medicine, lycopodium clavatum uses range from treating upset stomachs, food poisoning, kidney problems, and muscle cramps to serious conditions such as hepatitis and pneumonia. It can also be used to treat irritability and other emotional problems, as well as alcoholism and eating disorders. http://www.wisegeek.com/what-are-the-medical-uses-of-lycopodium-clavatum.htm Mercurius Corrosivus Mercurius corrosivus, defined as a chemical preparation of mercuric chloride, is used in homeopathic medicine to treat ulcers in the intestines, mouth, throat, and eyes. It might also be used to treat late-stage gonorrhea and Bright’s disease, an older term for any ailment of the kidneys. Mercurius corrosivus might ease the symptoms of tenesmus, which is an unnatural urge to defecate marked by pain, straining, and cramping. http://www.wisegeek.com/what-are-the-medical-uses-of-mercurius-corrosivus.htm Natrum Phosphoricum - sodium phosphate Natrum phosphoricum is a homeopathic remedy commonly known as sodium phosphate. Homeopaths prescribe it for excess lactic acid that is the result of eating too much sugar. During the production process, sodium phosphate is repeatedly mixed with either lactose powder, distilled water, or alcohol. Although there are no actual molecules of the original ingredient once dilution is completed, homeopathic doctors believe that the electromagnetic signature of the original element remains and is responsible for healing. There have been no peer-reviewed studies or other scientific evidence that natrum phosphoricum works as claimed. http://www.wisegeek.com/what-is-natrum-phosphoricum.htm Natrum phosphoricum is the remedy for conditions arising from excess of lactic acid, often resulting from too much sugar. Ailments, with EXCESS OF ACIDITY. Sour eructations and taste. Sour vomiting. YELLOW, CREAMY COATING AT THE BACK OF THE ROOF OF MOUTH AND TONGUE. Inflammation of any part of the throat, with sensation of a lump in throat. Flatulence, with sour risings. Colic, with symptoms of worms. of joints. JAUNDICE (1x trit.) Oxaluria. http://www.homeopathiclaboratories.com/matmed/natphos.php Mind. Imagines, on waking at night, that pieces of furniture are persons; that he hears footsteps in next room. FEAR. Head. Feels dull in the morning, full feeling and throbbing. Santoninum Is the active principle of Santonica, the unexpanded flower heads of Artemisia Maritima-Cina, which see. The eye symptoms and those of the urinary tract are most prominent. It is of unquestioned value in the treatment of worm diseases, as gastro-intestinal irritation, itching of nose, restless sleep, twitching of muscles. Ascaris lumbricoides, and thread worms, but not tapeworms. Night cough of children. Chronic cystitis. Laryngeal crises and lightning pains of tabes. http://homeoint.org/books/boericmm/s/santin.htm Santonin expels the round worm, ascaris, and, somewhat less effectively, the threadworm, oxyuris; it is ineffective against tapeworm. The worms are not killed within the body, but are "stunned" and are readily swept out by a purgative http://chestofbooks.com/health/materia-medica-drugs/Botanic-Drugs-Materia-Medica-Pharmacology-Therapeutics/Santoninum.html#.UWoUQ0qOCSo As a Homeopathic or used simply as a micro-nutritional, Santoninum has demonstrated effectiveness against the following symptomology: hyperemic conditions from continuous fine work, as in seamstresses; -also to be remembered in (early) cataract; objects look yellow (Dewey) -"[Santoninum] has been reported to be highly serviceable in choroiditis and atrophy of the optic nerve and in amblyopia..." (Blackwood) http://www.vaxa.com/ingredients/Santoninum.cfm Senna https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Senna_%28plant%29 Senna is an FDA-approved nonprescription laxative. It is used to treat constipation and also to clear the bowel before diagnostic tests such as colonoscopy. Senna is also used for irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), hemorrhoids, and weight loss. http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/druginfo/natural/652.html Spigelia Anthelmia - pinkroot Also known as pinkroot, spigelia anthelmia is tropical annual weed. Used in many herbal remedies, it may be used to treat conditions of the heart and eye, among others. It can also be employed in ridding the body of intestinal parasites. http://www.wisegeek.com/what-is-spigelia-anthelmia.htm Pinkroot, wormbush, Indian pink, worm grass, erva - lombrigueira, Demerara pinkroot, pink root, kromantikankan, kromanti - kankan. Wormbush or pinkroot is very poisonous; it contains the alkaloid Spigeline that acts upon the heart, especially the endocardium. In large doses it debilitates the heart. http://www.tropilab.com/wormbush.html The homeopathic remedy spigelia is prepared using the dehydrated aerial parts of the herb called pinkroot. These aerial parts of the plant are macerated in alcohol to produce the medication, which is used to cure a range of dissimilar health conditions. http://www.herbs2000.com/homeopathy/spigelia.htm Stannum Metallicum - tin To prepare the homeopathic medicine stannum metallicum, tin is first pulverized with lactose sugar. --- Physically, tin is a malleable metal having a silvery-white color with a tinge of blue. In traditional medication, tin was generally used to treat tapeworm and were administered to patients in the form of tin filings. People believed that administration of tin filings would help to get the body rid of tapeworms owing to the weight and sharp points of the tin filings - somewhat astonishing the worms! However, later it was discovered that the tin filings had no role, whatsoever, in eliminating the tapeworms, but they were actually expelled from the body by the action of the purgatives given to the patients soon after they were administered the tin filings. http://www.herbs2000.com/homeopathy/stannum_met.htm (Note - so why is it in the Para Solve formula then? btw, I'm putting this atop though I found and read it after two others. It is interesting.) What I thought was a very strange read (what I found and read first): http://hpathy.com/e-books/lectures-on-homeopathic-materia-medica/stannum-metallicum/ http://www.webhomeopath.com/homeopathy/homeopathic-remedies/homeopathy-remedy-Stannum_metallicum.html Tanacetum Vulgare - Tansy Tansy has a long history of use. It was first recorded as being cultivated by the ancient Greeks for medicinal purposes. In the 8th century AD it was grown in the herb gardens of Charlemagne and by Benedictine monks of the Swiss monastery of Saint Gall. Tansy was used to treat intestinal worms, rheumatism, digestive problems, fevers, sores, and to “bring out” measles read more at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tansy Be sure to read all comments! http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/go/320/ Teucrium Marum - Cat thyme https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teucrium_marum http://www.morningsunherbfarm.com/product_info.php?products_id=410 http://www.plantdelights.com/Teucrium-marum-Kitty-Crack/productinfo/8687/#.UWoBD0qOCSp Zingiber Officinale - ginger root |

Now, why I came and started this thread today. It's because I ran across one small mention of worms when reading over a thread about plantain.
