Pomegranate tree cures worms?
My family loves to eat pomegranate jelly. I also heard that, in addition to being grown for fruit and decoration, pomegranate trees can also be used to treat worms.

People use dried bark, branch bark, root bark (Cortex Granati) or sometimes dried pomegranate peel (Pericarpium Granati) as medicine. Pomegranate bark and roots are poisonous, so be careful when using them. Peel the bark, dry it, and store it. Use it as soon as possible. Some people say that the bark will lose its effect after more than 1 year. But some authors say that it will still be effective after 10 years. No other processing is required.
Treatment of worms: Pregnant women and children should not use it. Pomegranate root bark should be used because in the bark, peletierin and isopeletierin are naturally combined with tannins to form an insoluble substance, which is effective against worms in the intestines and does not cause fatigue to the human body. However, drinking the whole bark is a bit difficult.
You should choose freshly dug peels, fresh peels are more effective because they contain more alkaloids. When using dried roots, soak them in water for a few hours before mixing, they will still be effective in treating tapeworms. JE de Vrij used pomegranate peels that had been preserved for 13 years to make a paste that was still as effective as fresh peels.
Treating tapeworms according to the French pharmacopoeia: 60g of dried pomegranate peel, 750g of distilled water. Soak the powder for 6 hours. Then boil down to 500g, then decant and filter. Take this medicine early in the morning, divide into 2 or 3 doses, take 1 dose every half hour, 2 hours after taking the last dose, take 1 dose of laxative. When taking the medicine, lie down and rest, close your eyes to reduce fatigue.
Prescription for treating tapeworms combined with laxative: Pomegranate root bark 40g, rhubarb 4g, areca nut 4g, 750ml water boiled down to 300ml. Fast the night before. Take this medicine early the next morning, divided into 2-3 doses. While taking the medicine, you need to lie down and rest. Wait until you really feel the urge to go to the bathroom, then dip your buttocks into a basin of warm water to expel all the tapeworms.
In addition to its use in treating tapeworms, the root bark and stem bark are also used as lozenges to treat toothaches, diarrhea, and dysentery. However, to treat diarrhea, the fruit peel is often used.
