Turmeric is said to be Krimihara (anthelmintic) and Krimighna
(destroyer of worms) in Ayurvedic lexicons. The juice of turmeric
has anti-helminthic property on internal use. In the rural areas of
Nepal, turmeric powder or paste boiled in water with a little
common salt is taken as an anti-helminthic (Nadkarni, 1976)
