Juli's Herbal Wormer

If you don't grow or otherwise have access to natural wormers you can order Mollys. It works very well and I've used it off and on for years now.

I am back to making my own now that I have a good crop of wormwood again. There are some interchangeable ingredients for taste and preference but he two main ingredients are wormwood and garlic. They are, in my opinion, the most important wormers and cover more types of parasites. Most herbs for parasites work on one or two, wormwood and garlic work on many.

Other herbs for wormers are
Thyme
Mugwort
Pumpkin seeds
Cayenne
Black walnut hulls
Ginger

My current wormer recipe is (all dried herb and ground together)

Juli's Wormer
1 part Wormwood
1 part Mugwort
1 part Pumpkin seeds
1/4 part Garlic
1/4 part Black Walnut hulls

Grind together and store in an airtight container. I feed once a week.

For outside cats - approximately 1/2 t for every 5 pounds of body weight up to 1 teaspoon total. To much and they simply won't eat it.

For inside, older cats and kittens - 1/4 t per 5 pounds body weight

For dogs - 1t per 10 pounds up to 1 Tablespoon. Our LGD gets 2 level T's

For the goats I now also follow the Molly's chart for worming the, using the 3 day dose as well. I use roughly 1 heaping tablespoon for every 100 pounds

To the 3 day dose I add
1/4 part ginger root
1/8 part cayenne

I use this dogs, cats, rabbit, poultry, goats, ....

**I used to make a similar recipe for the horses but without black walnut, which can be deadly to horses.

When I have more Thyme I add it to the regular recipe but don't have enough started right now. I use around 1/2 Part.

It's more based of what you have available and what your animals will eat.

I always feed the wormer so there's less stress for everyone. Stress reduces immune system which in turn makes it easier for parasites to take hold and prosper.

I also believe it's important to balance the immune system as a natural resistance to parasites.

The goats eat black walnut leaves and we pick them when they can no longer reach them. The leaves are drying and I use them in Drawing salve but they likely have anti parasites properties too.

I also keep 2 waters for all the animals, one has clean well water and the other is water with my own apple vinegar. Our animals often choose the vinegar water over the regular water. I don't really measure but I would think I used around 3 to 4 tablespoon per gallon of water.
