Herbal preparation against parasites
In the summer we collected and dried various herbs at school garden and at home.



In the cold winter days, students with their teachers cooked and distilled domestic spirit (Schnaps).



When everything was ready we decided to make herbal preparation against parasites.



Twelve herbs were used for the herbal preparation: peppermint (Mentha piperita), fennel (Foeniculum vulgare), thyme (Thymus vulgaris), goose grass (Galium aparine), chamomile (Chamomilla recutita), cayenne pepper (Capsicum frutescens), garlic (Allium sativum), wormwood (Artemisia absinthium), ginger (Zingiber officinale), cinnamon (Cinnamonum zeylanicum), fenugreek (Trigonella foenum-graecum) and liquorice (Glycyrrhiza glabra). The herbs were soaked in school brandy and filtered after one month. Some alcohol was later removed and honey with water (1:1) and propolis tincture was added to the preparation.
Animals can receive the herbal preparation orally at a dose of 0.1ml/kg of body weight for 5 days. The preparation eliminates internal parasites in animals, such as worms (helminths), tapeworms and protozoans.
The preparation is the result of the research work of our students. We also made a joint research of preparation with the Veterinary Faculty.
