Herbs of Gold ParaStrike 28 tablets

• ParaStrike contains high-strength European wormwood (Wormwood), Black walnut and Barberry, combined with essential oils to help rid the body of intestinal worms. • ParaStrike contains Thyme and Oregano essential oils. These oils are microencapsulated and spray dried onto the tablet to help protect the naturally occurring active compounds which are highly susceptible to changes caused by external factors such as light, oxygen and heat. • ParaStrike is formulated for both children and adults with different dosing requirements based on age. The lifecycle of an adult worm means it may live for up to 6 weeks. As such, the treatment regime needs to cover a 6-week period to ensure adult worms and newly hatched eggs are destroyed and eliminated, reducing the risk of reinfestation. While a child is more likely than an adult to become infested, the risk of passing infestation from a child to an adult is high, so treatment for the whole family is commonly recommended.  

Each tablet contains: Artemisia absinthium (Wormwood) leaf extract 50mg derived from dry leaf .............................................................................................................................................500mg Juglans nigra (Black walnut) fruit hull extract 15mg derived from dry fruit hulls ....................................................................................................................................150mg Berberis vulgaris (Barberry) root bark extract 25mg derived from dry root bark....................................................................................................................................150mg Origanum vulgare (Oregano) herb flowering essential oil...........................................................................25mg Thymus vulgaris (Thyme) leaf essential oil...........................................................................................................8mg Contains glucose and tree nut products (walnut hulls).

DRUG INTERACTIONS • Contraindicated with anticoagulant and antiplatelet medications such as warfarin – Wormwood may increase bleeding risk and Thyme essential oil may interact by inducing phase I and phase II liver enzymes. • Contraindicated with fluoroquinolone and tetracycline antibiotics, and anti-infective medications – Barberry may reduce their effectiveness. CAUTIONS • Contraindicated in pregnancy and lactation – the thujone in Wormwood can have a contraction effect on the uterus, while berberine can be harmful to the developing brain of the unborn child. • Contraindicated in gastric or duodenal ulcers – Wormwood can increase gastric fluid potentially making these conditions worse. • Caution in high blood pressure - Thyme essential oil may theoretically increase blood pressure. Monitor. • Caution in acute/severe hepatocellular disease, liver cancer, intestinal spasm or ileus - Wormwood and Barberry can impact liver function when liver health is poor. • Wormwood may cause allergic reactions in people sensitive to the Asteraceae family. • This product is not suitable for long-term use. Use only at the dose and directions indicated on the bottle. SIDE EFFECTS • Thyme oil may cause mild gastrointestinal irritation, such as heartburn, diarrhoea, nausea and vomiting. • Mild gastrointestinal symptoms, headaches or fatigue may occur as a result of parasitic die-off. These symptoms are a common detox reaction to the toxins released when the parasites start to die and, when mild, should resolve within a few days.
