Are your child is suffering from worm stomach, here is the solution

When chronic constipation persists for a long period, the stool gets rotten in the intestines. This rotting stool breeds a variety of worms. They could  also be created by eating stale and infected food, by eating rotting fish or meat. The worms are of three types: Thread worm and Tape worms. The first variety is very small like small pieces of thread which remain in and around the anus region which cause itching and burning sensation. These disturb the children very much. They also cause digestive disorders which lead to vomiting, loose motion and fever. They (the worms) can also trouble the grown up persons.

          The second variety is of Round-worm which remain in intestines and are 4 to 12 inches long. Their presence cause pain in stomach, loss of appetite, disturbance in sleep, itching in nose and anus, flatulence and frequent water oozing from the mouth. All these trouble cause great debility in the sufferer’s body. The third type worm is a long tape in appearance. It is always lonely, that is, it remains always alone. It is flat in built and of white colour. Its presence also cause all the troubles mentioned in the second variety.

         The ideal anti-dote of all these worms are the following: Have Papaya vegetable and Papaya raita with about 3gms. Of essence of Papin mixed in it.

           Alternatively, take 2 spoonfuls of milk of raw Papaya (reduce the quantity to half for the children and weak person) and add equal amount of honey. Then whip the mixture vigorously. Now add double of the quantity of warm water. When cool, give it to the patient. when he has drunk it, make another solution. Take pure castor oil about 20gms, at to it a little of a level juice or vinegar. Make the patient drink this solution also. Only one does of it will do. If need be, only then repeat the dose. If this (second) mixture causes cramps in the stomach then give anema to the patient after mixing a little of sugar to it. This whole treatment is a tried and tasted remedy to cure unerringly the trouble of worms.

There is another variety of worms known as guinea worm. When children eat a lot of sweet and dirty food, the bunches of these worms remain in their anus region and cause great itching and burning sensation. These especially trouble the infants, so much so, that while getting feed from their mother’s they cut the breast feeding them by teeth.

The best way to treat this trouble is to take leaves of papaya- about 25gms, and 3gms opium and rock salt and grind the whole lot to a uniform paste form. Put it in a small cup. ‘Applying twice or thrice this paste in the infant’ anus region would give them instant relief.
