You can get worms and other parasites from a variety of sources --contact with feces, contaminated water or contaminated food. Sometimes, you can contact the larvae from direct contact with animals, etc. The natural way to treat parasites is to build the health of the intestine so the parasites don't want to live there any more. So, good digestive health is important --probiotics, the proper foods, and elimination 1-2 times daily.
Often, extra supplements to kill the adults and dispel the larvae are helpful. It depends on the type of "worm" to determine the most appropriate natural therapy. So find out what you have, and then seek out a trained health care professional to help you develop a good treatment plan.
