Verm'sil and plants: the guide to natural family deworming
By Marie, dietician and specialist advisor in nutritional supplements at Pleine Forme
15 years of experience in natural solutions and digestive well-being
You wake up tired for no apparent reason. Your child complains of nighttime itching around the anus. Your stomach is constantly bloated, and you have this persistent dry cough that won't go away. You've seen a doctor, had tests done... but everything seems "normal." Yet, these symptoms are ruining your life.
What if it's intestinal parasites? A taboo, embarrassing subject that no one talks about. Yet, millions of families in France are affected without knowing it. Pinworms in children in daycare, tapeworms after a trip, parasites transmitted by our pets...
In my 15 years at Pleine Forme, I've helped hundreds of families dealing with this silent problem. The good news? There are effective, gentle, natural solutions for the whole family, without the harsh side effects of chemical dewormers. Vermsil and other deworming herbs can transform your digestive comfort in just a few weeks.
In this guide, I will reveal how to identify, treat and prevent intestinal parasites with a complete natural approach: herbal dewormers, intestinal detox and adapted lifestyle.
🔍 Is your family affected? Quick self-assessment
Check the symptoms present in you or your loved ones:
Digestive symptoms:
- Persistent bloating, swollen belly
- Unexplained constipation or diarrhea
- Abdominal pain, cramps
General symptoms:
- Chronic fatigue despite getting enough sleep
- Anal or nasal itching (especially at night)
- Persistent dry cough without infection
Specific signs in children:
- Restless sleep, nighttime teeth grinding
- Loss of appetite or sugar cravings
- Irritability, unusual nervousness
Risk factors:
- Regular contact with pets
- Children in daycare, school (communities)
- Recent trip to a high-risk country
If you have checked 3 or more symptoms plus 1 risk factor , intestinal parasites are likely the cause. This guide will help you.
Natural dewormer for the whole family: a complete guide to Vermsil, herbs, and intestinal detox
Are you experiencing unexplained fatigue, persistent bloating, or nighttime itching? These symptoms, often subtle and sometimes taboo, can unfortunately indicate the presence of intestinal parasites. Don't worry, you're not alone in this situation.
The hidden reality of intestinal parasites
The figures that nobody tells you:
- 30 to 50% of school-aged children have had pinworms
- Intestinal parasites affect all social classes
- Impeccable hygiene does NOT guarantee total protection
- Domestic animals are frequent vectors
Many families face these inconveniences, which can affect their daily quality of life. As a registered dietitian specializing in digestive health at Pleine Forme, I regularly meet people seeking gentle and effective solutions to restore digestive comfort.
The natural approach: why it works
My experience has shown me the importance of a natural and holistic approach to intestinal health for the whole family. This article is designed as a comprehensive guide to help you:
✅ Understanding intestinal parasites (types, life cycle, symptoms)
✅ Treat with natural methods (Vermsil, worming plants)
✅ Prevent re-infestations (intestinal detox, lifestyle)
✅ Protect the whole family (children from 1 year old, adults, pets)
Together, we will explore the benefits of natural dewormers, discover the most effective herbs, and learn how to incorporate an intestinal detox into your routine. My goal is to provide you with clear, scientifically sound information and practical advice so you can make informed choices for your family's health.
Why choose a natural dewormer for the family?
The idea of using a natural dewormer for the whole family is gaining popularity, and for good reason.
What exactly is a dewormer?
A dewormer is a product designed to eliminate or limit the presence of intestinal parasites in the body, such as:
Pinworms : Small white worms (3-10mm), very common in children, cause nocturnal anal itching.
Roundworms : Roundworms (15-35cm), contamination via contaminated water/food
Tapeworm : A flatworm that can grow several meters long, contaminated by undercooked meat
Giardia (Lamblia) : Microscopic parasites that cause diarrhea and bloating.
Chemical dewormer vs. natural dewormer
| Criteria | Chemical dewormer | Natural dewormer |
|---|---|---|
| Action | Kills parasites brutally | Creates a hostile environment, a gentle expulsion |
| Side effects | Frequent (nausea, abdominal pain) | Rare, light |
| Microbiota impact | It can disturb him | Support, rebalancing |
| Preventive use | Not recommended | Possible regularly |
| Child tolerance | Varies according to age | Suitable from 1 year old |
| Approach | Symptomatic | Holistic (field) |
The 5 advantages of a natural approach
1. Gentle on the body
Natural solutions are generally better tolerated , reducing the risk of harsh side effects. Unlike chemical dewormers that "bombard" the intestines, plants act gradually.
2. Supporting the gut microbiota
A natural dewormer respects and nourishes your gut flora, a precious ally in your natural defenses. By cleansing and rebalancing the gut, you strengthen the overall immunity of the family.
3. Possible preventive use
These dietary supplements can be used preventively , particularly in high-risk environments:
- Communities (nursery, school, retirement home)
- Presence of pets
- After traveling to a high-risk country
- Seasonal changes (autumn/spring)
4. Action on the ground
Rather than simply "killing" parasites, the natural approach sustainably cleanses the intestinal environment , creating an atmosphere unfavorable to their proliferation. It's a holistic approach that aims not only to eliminate parasites but also to restore lasting digestive well-being.
5. Suitable for the whole family
A single product for children (from 1 year old), adults and even pets. Simplicity and economy.
💡 Important note : Natural dewormers are not a substitute for medical treatment in cases of severe infestation or dangerous parasites (e.g., echinococcus). They are ideal for prevention and for treating common, mild to moderate infestations.
Vermsil: a natural and effective solution
Among the natural dewormers available, Vermsil from Vecteur Energy stands out as a 100% natural and organic solution, designed for the intestinal hygiene of the whole family.
Why Vermsil is different
✅ Liquid formula : Rapid absorption, maximum bioavailability
✅ 100% organic : All ingredients are from organic farming
✅ Plant synergy : 8 traditional plants that reinforce each other
✅ For the whole family : Children from 1 year old, adults, pets
✅ Lunar approach : Protocol based on natural cycles (full moon/new moon)
Detailed composition of Vermsil
The 8 plant-based active ingredients:
1. Mugwort (Artemisia vulgaris) floral water
The key ingredient. A powerful traditional dewormer, particularly effective against pinworms and roundworms.
2. Tansy (Tanacetum vulgare)
Nicknamed "worm herb". Recognized for its antiparasitic properties since the Middle Ages.
3. Pumpkin seeds (Cucurbita pepo)
Rich in cucurbitacin, they paralyze parasites. Gentle, ideal for children.
4. Wild garlic (Allium ursinum)
Powerful intestinal antiseptic, detoxifying, strengthens immunity.
5. Marigold (Tagetes patula)
Mexican plant with antiparasitic and digestive properties.
6. Organic apple cider vinegar
Acidifies the intestinal environment (parasites hate it), promotes digestion.
7. Malic and tartaric acid
Natural acids that potentiate the action of plants create a hostile environment.
8. Vegetable glycerin + sugar
Natural preservatives soften the taste.
No chemical additives, no synthetic preservatives, no major allergens.
How Vermsil works against parasites
Step 1: Hostile Environment
The active ingredients of plants (thujone from mugwort, allicin from garlic, cucurbitacin from pumpkin seeds) create an environment that parasites cannot tolerate.
Step 2: Paralysis and disengagement
The parasites attached to the intestinal lining detach (cucurbitacin acts as an "anesthetic" for them).
Step 3: Natural Expulsion
The intestinal transit, stimulated by the plants, naturally eliminates dead or weakened parasites.
Step 4: Regeneration
The plants soothe the inflammation caused by parasites and support the repair of the mucous membrane.
Symptoms that Vermsil can relieve
✅ Unexplained chronic fatigue
✅ Persistent bloating
✅ Alternating constipation or diarrhea
✅ Anal itching (especially at night)
✅ Nasal itching
✅ Persistent dry cough (larval migration)
✅ Sleep disturbances, nervousness
✅ Sugar cravings (parasites love sugar)
The use of Vermsil: traditional lunar protocol
Why the lunar cycles?
Empirical tradition observes that parasites are more active and easier to remove during certain lunar phases. The full moon and the new moon correspond to times when their reproductive activity is at its peak.
Full moon : Parasites lay their eggs, are more mobile, more vulnerable
New moon : Reproductive cycle begins again, second window of opportunity
Complete protocol 6 days/month
Preparation (2 days before the full moon):
- Reduce sugars and dairy products (they feed parasites).
- Increase your fiber intake (fruits, vegetables, whole grains)
- Stay well hydrated (2L water/day)
Phase 1: Full Moon (3 days)
- Adults : 1 tsp (5ml) in the morning on an empty stomach
- Children 1-12 years : 1 tsp (5ml) in the morning on an empty stomach
- Animals : 1 tablespoon (15ml) per 100kg of body weight
Break (10-12 days)
- Maintain a healthy diet
- Continue hydrating
Phase 2: New moon (3 days)
- Same protocol as phase 1
- This second phase eliminates any eggs/larvae that may have hatched.
Frequency of treatments:
- Prevention : 2-4 times/year (especially autumn and spring)
- Treatment for suspected infestation : 2-3 consecutive months
- Maintenance with animals : 1 time/month for 6 months
Practical advice for taking
Ideal time : On an empty stomach in the morning or 30 minutes before a meal (optimal absorption)
How to take:
- Shake the bottle well before use
- Pour the dose into a glass
- Dilute in a little water or apple juice (strong taste)
- Drink it in one gulp
- Wait 30 minutes before eating
Taste tip : The mixture of mugwort and wild garlic is very bitter. For children who are reluctant to try it, mix it into applesauce or fruit juice.
Worming plants: a valuable ally for the family
Plants offer incredible benefits for intestinal health and parasite control. Their long history of use testifies to their effectiveness and gentleness.
Why plants work:
- Multiple active compounds : Thujone, allicin, cucurbitacin, tannins...
- Synergistic action : Together, they are stronger
- Respect for the microbiota : Unlike chemical dewormers
- A thousand-year-old tradition : Used since antiquity
Mugwort: the essential vermifuge plant
Mugwort (Artemisia vulgaris) is a powerful medicinal plant, recognized since antiquity for its vermifuge properties.
Why mugwort is the queen of dewormers
Active ingredient : Thujone (monoterpene ketone)
Action : Paralyzes the nervous system of parasites, detaching them from the mucous membrane
Targeted parasites :
✅ Pinworms (95% of traditional effectiveness)
✅ Ascaris
✅ Taenia (tapeworm)
✅ Lamblia (giardia)
Digestive bonuses :
- Stimulates appetite and digestion
- Relieves bloating and cramps
- Choleretic action (stimulates bile = fat digestion)
Its floral water in Vermsil acts effectively while being gentler than essential oil (which would be too concentrated and dangerous).
Tradition : Used by Hildegard of Bingen in the Middle Ages, by Chinese medicine (Artemisia annua against malaria), and in all European pharmacopoeias.
Tansy: the recognized worm herb
Tansy (Tanacetum vulgare L.), often nicknamed "worm herb" , is another essential plant in the composition of Vermsil.
How tansy works
Active ingredient : Thujone (like wormwood) + parthenolide
Action : Dual attack - paralyzes parasites AND soothes intestinal inflammation
It is renowned for its antiparasitic properties and is traditionally used to help eliminate intestinal parasites. Its action complements that of mugwort , enhancing the effectiveness of this natural dewormer.
Additional benefits :
- Soothe digestive problems
- Promote good digestion
- Reduce fermentation and gas
It is a valuable ally for the comfort of the family, particularly after an infestation that has weakened the intestinal lining.
Wild garlic: an ally for intestinal hygiene
Wild garlic (Allium ursinum L.) is much more than just an aromatic herb; it is a powerful detoxifier and an excellent support for intestinal hygiene.
The superpowers of wild garlic
Active ingredient : Allicin (sulfur compound)
Triple action :
1. Antiparasitic
Destroys parasites through its powerful antiseptic action.
2. Antibacterial/antifungal
Cleanses the entire intestine (parasites often accompanied by bacterial or fungal imbalances such as candida).
3. Detoxifying
Helps eliminate accumulated heavy metals and toxins.
Present in Vermsil, it is known for its natural antiseptic and antiparasitic properties. This wild garlic helps to deeply cleanse the intestines , promoting the elimination of toxins and parasites.
It also helps strengthen the digestive system and the immune system , creating a less favorable environment for infestations. Its strong taste, though unique to Vermsil, is a testament to its powerful medicinal properties.
Pumpkin seeds: a gentle and effective dewormer
Pumpkin seeds (Cucurbita pepo L.) are a mild but effective dewormer, particularly appreciated for their good tolerance, including in children .
The secret of pumpkin seeds: cucurbitacin
Active ingredient : Cucurbitacin (amino acid)
Unique action : Paralyzes intestinal parasites without killing them brutally, thus facilitating their natural elimination through transit.
How it works:
- Cucurbitacin "anesthetizes" the parasites' attachment system
- They detach from the intestinal wall
- Peristalsis naturally eliminates them
- No toxins are released (unlike dewormers which kill suddenly)
Integrated into the Vermsil formula, pumpkin seeds provide a complementary action to the other plants, making the treatment more complete.
Nutritional bonus :
- Rich in zinc (immunity, skin)
- Magnesium (anti-stress, sleep)
- Omega-3 (anti-inflammatory)
They are also an excellent source of essential nutrients, contributing to the vitality and overall well-being of the family. Their gentleness makes them an ideal choice for a non-irritating intestinal detox, even for toddlers (from 1 year old).
Intestinal detox: an essential complement to deworming medication
Beyond the direct action of natural dewormers, an intestinal detox is an essential complement to restore and maintain optimal intestinal hygiene.
Why detox + deworming = a winning combo
The dewormer alone : Eliminates live parasites
Intestinal detox : Cleanses away residues, toxins, eggs, larvae, and prepares the body for elimination.
It prepares the ground, helps eliminate residues and supports the microbiota, creating a healthy environment resistant to future parasite infestations .
Detox isn't just about eliminating parasites ; it aims for a complete purification of the digestive system. This is a crucial step in restoring smooth digestion, reducing bloating and fatigue, and boosting the immunity of the whole family.
The benefits of intestinal detox
A well-conducted intestinal detox offers a multitude of health benefits for the whole family.
1. Deep cleaning
First, it helps to cleanse the colon of accumulated toxins and parasite residues (corpses, eggs, larvae), which greatly improves digestion and nutrient absorption.
Concrete result : You can therefore say goodbye to chronic bloating and constipation.
2. Rebalancing the microbiota
This purification process promotes the rebalancing of the gut microbiota , which is essential for a healthy immune system. A healthy gut is the foundation of good overall health.
Statistics : 70-80% of your immunity resides in your gut. A balanced microbiota = fewer illnesses.
3. Renewed vitality
Reduced fatigue, increased vitality, improved mental clarity. This is a key step in preventing new infestations and maintaining lasting well-being.
4. Mood improvement
The gut-brain axis: a healthy gut produces 90% of serotonin (the happiness hormone). Detox = better mood.
How to perform an effective intestinal detox?
For an effective intestinal detox, several approaches can be combined.
1. Detox diet (essential foundation)
Prioritize:
Soluble fibers (feed good bacteria):
- Oats, barley, rye
- Apples, pears (with skin)
- Legumes (lentils, chickpeas)
- Sweet potatoes, carrots
Fermented foods (natural probiotics):
- Kefir, kombucha
- Raw sauerkraut, kimchi
- Miso, tempeh
- Natural yogurts
Massive hydration :
- 2-3L of water/day
- Herbal teas (fennel, mint, ginger)
- Homemade vegetable broths
Avoid (they feed parasites and cause clogging):
❌ Refined sugars, pastries
❌ Excessive dairy products
❌ Red meats, deli meats
❌ Processed foods, additives
❌ Saturated fats, fried foods
❌ Excessive alcohol and coffee
2. Detox dietary supplements
Blond psyllium (Plantago ovata)
Soluble fibers that swell, "cleans" the intestine, carrying away toxins and residues.
Dosage : 1 teaspoon in a large glass of water, 1-2 times a day
Activated vegetable charcoal
Ultra-porous structure captures toxins, gases, heavy metals.
Dosage : 1-2 capsules twice a day, away from meals and medication (2 hours apart)
Green clay
Absorbs toxins, bacteria, parasites. Remineralizes.
Dosage : 1 tsp in a glass of water, leave to sit overnight, drink in the morning (water on top)
High-quality probiotics
They re-inoculate good bacteria after detox.
Key strains : Lactobacillus, Bifidobacterium
Dosage : Minimum 10 billion CFU/day, for 4-8 weeks
3. Complete detox protocol (3 weeks)
Week 1: Preparation
- Gradually reduce your intake of sugars, dairy products, and red meat.
- Increase your intake of vegetables, fruits, and water.
- Start with psyllium (1x/day)
Week 2: Intensive Detox + Full Moon Vermsil
- 100% detox diet (see list above)
- Psyllium 2x/day
- Activated charcoal twice a day (remotely)
- VERMSIL: 3 days full moon
Week 3: Vermsil new moon + reseeding
- Continue eating a healthy diet
- VERMSIL: 3 days new moon
- Stop coal
- Start with probiotics (8 weeks)
A course of Vermsil, with its vermifuge plants, fits perfectly into this detox protocol, acting in synergy for deep cleansing and enhanced intestinal hygiene .
Usage instructions and precautions
The use of natural dewormers like Vermsil requires following precise instructions to guarantee their effectiveness and the safety of the whole family.
Precise dosage of Vermsil
Adults and children (from 1 year old):
1 teaspoon (5ml) per day
Pets:
1 tablespoon (15ml) per 100 kg of weight
(Ex: dog 20kg = 3ml, cat 5kg = 0.75ml)
Duration : 6 days per month (3 full moon days + 3 new moon days)
Timing : On an empty stomach or before a meal, after shaking the bottle well
Possible side effects (usually mild)
Although natural dewormers are generally well tolerated, mild and temporary side effects may occur at the beginning of the treatment:
Normal reactions (1-3 days):
- Mild bloating
- More frequent gas
- Softer stools (a sign of expulsion)
- Slight fatigue (the body is detoxifying)
This is a sign that the body is adapting and that the parasites are being eliminated. These symptoms disappear quickly.
If the effects are too intense:
- Reduce the dose by half
- Increase hydration
- Space the sockets
❌ Contraindications and precautions
Absolute contraindications:
❌ Children < 1 year old (immature digestive system)
❌ Pregnant women (especially in the first trimester) or breastfeeding women

❌ Known allergy to any of the plants in the formula
Special precautions:
⚠️ Epilepsy : Mugwort and tansy contain thujone (convulsant at high doses). Medical advice required.
⚠️ Severe liver problems : Intense detoxification puts a strain on the liver. Monitor closely.
⚠️ Drug treatment : Leave at least 2 hours between treatments (possible interactions).
In case of doubt, persistent symptoms or pre-existing medical conditions, a consultation with a healthcare professional is essential.
Conservation
Before opening : Store at room temperature, away from light
Once opened : Keep refrigerated and consume within 2 months
Shake before each use (natural sediment may occur)
💡 Expert advice from Marie
Tip #1: Never neglect hygiene
"The best dewormer in the world will be useless if you keep getting re-infested. After each Verm'sil treatment, I always recommend: washing sheets and underwear at 60°C, keeping nails short, and washing hands before each meal and after using the toilet. For the
Families with children in group settings, it's NON-NEGOTIABLE. Otherwise, you'll just go around in circles."
Tip #2: Deworm the WHOLE family at the same time
"A classic mistake: treating only the child who has symptoms. The result? Mom or Dad are asymptomatic carriers, transmitting it to the child 3 weeks later. The same goes for animals! If you have a dog or a cat, deworm it at the same time as the rest of the family. It's a COMPLETE protocol or it doesn't work."
Tip #3: Lunar cycles really matter
"At first, some clients look at me strangely when I talk about the full moon. But after 15 years, I can tell you: those who follow the lunar protocol get results twice as good as those who take Vermsil 'when they remember'. Parasites are actually more active during these phases. Empirical tradition is right."
📊 Summary table: complete anti-parasite protocol

| Break | Maintaining a healthy diet | 10-12 days | Probiotics |
| New moon | Vermsil 1 tsp/day + detox | 3 days | Vermsil + activated charcoal |
| Reseeding | High-dose probiotics | 8 weeks | Probiotics 10-20 billion CFU |
| Prevention | Strict hygiene + balanced diet | Permanent | - |
FAQ: Your essential questions
How long before I see results?
First effects in 3-7 days (symptom improvement). Complete elimination of parasites: 2-3 month treatment (2-3 consecutive lunar cycles).
Can Vermsil be used preventively even without symptoms?
Yes, it's even recommended! 2-4 treatments/year (especially autumn and spring) if you have children in group settings or pets.
Can my 18-month-old child take Vermsil?
Yes, from 12 months of age, with the same adult dose (1 tsp/day). The taste may be strong: dilute in applesauce or apple juice.
Can Vermsil replace a chemical dewormer prescribed by a doctor?
No, never replace medical treatment without consulting a doctor. Vermsil is a complementary or alternative treatment for mild to moderate infestations and for prevention. In the case of dangerous parasites (tapeworm, etc.), it is essential to follow the prescribed medical treatment.
Can Vermsil be taken during pregnancy?
Not recommended, especially during the first trimester (mugwort and tansy contain thujone). Wait until after delivery or seek medical advice.
Can parasites return after a course of Vermsil?
Yes, if there is re-infestation (insufficient hygiene, contact with undewormed animals, group settings). Hence the importance of regular preventative treatments and strict hygiene.
