13- Figs Acts As Vermifuge
One of the lesser known ones is their ability to act as a vermifuge, which is an agent that eradicates intestinal worms.
Fig seeds contain components such as saponins, lectins, and alkaloids that work together to create an anti-parasitic effect in the body and rid it of any unwanted parasites or worms. Research has also shown that they can help reduce inflammation in the intestines, which could result in relief from symptoms caused by intestinal parasites like nausea or abdominal cramps. Additionally, they are packed with nutrients like vitamins A and B6, potassium, calcium and magnesium – all of which may contribute to better digestion overall.
