In recent years, parasite cleansing has become one of the fastest-rising trends in the holistic and functional-medicine world. While some claims—such as parasites causing all human diseases—may be overstated, there is growing recognition that toxicity, microbial overgrowth, poor lymphatic flow, and a weakened immune system create an internal environment where illness thrives.
For the health-conscious individual seeking clearer energy, better digestion, improved immunity, and deeper well-being, understanding the role parasites may play is becoming increasingly essential.
Are Parasites Really a Health Issue?
Conventional medicine long held that parasites were mainly a concern for travelers visiting developing countries. But the story is changing. Across the globe, many nations conduct mandatory parasite-cleansing programs once or twice a year—while the United States has largely ignored this reality.
Today, more people are discovering significant improvements in digestion, allergies, skin conditions, brain fog, fatigue, and chronic inflammation simply by conducting periodic parasite support and detoxification.
How Parasites Enter the Body
Parasites are far more common than most of us realize. They can enter through:
- Contaminated food (meat, fish, produce)
- Water (tap water, bottled water)
- Airborne exposure
- Everyday items like doorknobs, phones, furniture, and even clothing
Once inside, they may settle into the digestive tract, liver, muscles, glands, blood, and even the brain.
This is why a holistic approach—reducing toxicity, strengthening immunity, and creating an inhospitable environment for parasites—is essential.
Why Parasite Cleansing Matters for Whole-Body Wellness
Completely eliminating all parasites is impossible. They exist naturally in the ecosystems of food, water, and our environment. But reducing parasite load while supporting detox pathways can dramatically change your internal terrain.
High levels of parasites often coexist with:
- Chemical and heavy-metal buildup
- Chronic inflammation
- Weakened lymphatic function
- Immune suppression
- Digestive imbalance
A well-structured parasite cleanse can help reverse these conditions and support long-term vitality.
3. Cleanse your nostrils with neti-pot daily. During the peak allergy season, do it at least twice a day. Neti pots are an ancient tradition of rinsing nasal passages with salty water. Daily rinsing helps remove mucus and offending allergens so that you can breath better. 
When using neti pots, make sure that you use either boiled or distilled water (Note: DO NOT USE unboiled tap water). For salt, use non-iodized sea salt, 1/4 teaspoon for 1 cup of water.
(Note: all of these herbs and supplements may not be available unless you ask your practitioner. I am highly suspicious of Standard Process products being sold on Amazon). 
hyper response to a strong pathogen (pollen, an abundance of cat dander, etc) and this causes a rapid physiological changes resulting in itchy eyes and throat, sinus congestion, sneezing, asthma and even diarrhea. Exposure to an allergen would cause a massive release of IgE antibodies which attach to white blood cells known as mast cells. These cells are mostly located in the lungs and upper respiratory tract, the lining of the stomach and the skin. When these cells are stimulated, they release a number of chemicals including histamine which produce the allergic symptoms.
The spring allergy season can start rolling as early as February, so it isn’t too early to start preparing for the allergy season. If you wait until allergy season hits, pollens will be everywhere, symptoms can hit you really hard. Here are a few things I personally have undertaken for years to get ahead of the curve of the spring allergy. 
Use the opposite thumb and index or middle finger to perform a slow, sustained pinching motions to the muscle belly. Hold the pressure gently but firmly for 1-3 minutes.
