Helminthiasis is a common infestation in children, caused by Ascaris, Trichuris , and hookworm, residing commonly in the gastrointestinal tract, but also the liver and various other organs in severe cases. Herbal medicines are used worldwide for the treatment of helminthiasis, there are fewer or no side effects as compared to well-known synthetic medicines. Medicinal plants such as Euphorbia helioscopia, Baliospermum montanum, Carica papaya, Cynodon dactylon, Artemisia pallens , and Anacardium occidentale have traditionally been used in the treatment of helminthiasis and are considered to contain anthelmintic compounds. In folk medicine, anthelmintic plants have been used as an important traditional herbal medicine due to the vast array of bioactive compounds found in them.
