Amargo (Quassia amara) 

Studies on amargo and its phytochemicals reports the bark possesses antiparasitic, anti-amebic, and antimalarial actions.

Simarouba (Simarouba amara) 

Main active group of phytochemicals in simarouba are called quassinoids which are well known to scientists. The antiprotozoal and antimalarial properties of these phytochemicals have been documented for many years.* Several of the quassinoids found in simarouba, such as ailanthinone, glaucarubinone, and holacanthone, are considered the plant's main constituents and are the ones documented to be antiprotozal, anti-amebic, and antimalarial.

Boldo (Peumus boldus) 

Boldo (Peumus boldus) Boldo leaves contains a phytochemical called asaridole (which is also found in epazote) that has been documented to possess antiparasitic, antimalarial, and vermifuge/anthelmintic (worm-expelling) properties.

Fedegoso (Cassia occidentalis) 

Fedegoso has also been used for many types of parasitic infections for many years in the tropical countries where it grows.* In vitro research on fedegoso over the years has reported antiparasitic, insecticidal, and antimalarial properties..

Carqueja (Baccharis genistelloides, trimera) 

Several novel plant phytochemicals called clerodane diterpenoids have been identified in carqueja and, in 1994, scientists showed that these phytochemicals had maximum effects against worms.* This could possibly explain carqueja's long history of use as an agent to expel intestinal worms.

Quinine (Cinchona succirubra) 

In European herbal medicine quinine bark is considered antiprotozoal, antispasmodic, antimalarial, a bitter tonic, and a fever-reducer.* Quinine bark has long been documented with antiparasitic and antimalarial actions in laboratory studies

Erva Tostão (Boerhaavia diffusa) 

Studies document that erva tostão has anti-amebic actions in animal studies and in vitro studies

Epazote (Chenopodium ambrosioides) 

In a 1996 study, epazote was given to 72 children and adults with intestinal parasitic infections.* On average, the study reported an antiparasitic efficacy in 56% of cases. With respect to the tested parasites, epazote was reported to be 100% effective against the common intestinal parasites, Ancilostoma and Trichuris, and, 50% effective against Ascaris (round worm).* In a more recent study in 2001, thirty children with intestinal roundworms were treated with epazote. Disappearance of the ascaris eggs occurred in 86.7%, while the parasitic burden decreased in 59.5%.* In addition, this study also reported that epazote was 100% effective in eliminating the common human tapeworm (Hymenolepsis nana)

Anamu (Petiveria alliacea) 

Anamu’s antimicrobial activity was demonstrated by researchers from Guatemala and Austria who, in separate studies in 1998, confirmed its activity in vitro and in vivo studies against several strains of protozoa, bacteria, and fungi

Graviola (Annona muricata) 

Graviola contains phytochemicals called Annonaceous acetogenins which have been documented and patented as antiparasitic and insecticidal agents.
