If you suspect you have an intestinal parasite, it’s important to see a healthcare professional for proper testing and diagnosis.

Many intestinal parasites require specific prescription medications. Delaying treatment while relying only on home remedies may allow the infection to worsen.

Garlic may complement an overall healthy lifestyle, but it should never replace professional medical care.
