Coconut

Eating one tablespoon of crushed coconut with breakfast followed by one glass of warm milk with two tablespoons of castor oil after three hours can rid you of intestinal worms.

Drink it every morning on an empty stomach and follow it with a glass of warm milk with two tablespoons of castor oil after two hours.
