5. Coconut oil
Coconut oil is a famous item that you’ll find on many home remedy lists. Many have used it in conjunction with combing to remove head lice, and some have applied it topically to treat eczema and prevent flare-ups associated with the diseases. With so many health and household uses, it’s not surprising why coconut oil features on so many lists.
It can also help you treat your pinworm infections. Many people have said that, after they applied the coconut oil to the skin around their anus, the female pinworms were unable to lay eggs and thus the reproductive cycle was interrupted. Some have even said that eating a teaspoon of coconut oil daily killed off the remaining pinworms in their intestine.
There is very little risk to trying out this method, just ensure that you are not allergic to either coconuts or coconut oil. Again, like the above remedies, the research corroborating this claim is limited but it’s certainly still worth a shot.
