	Yes, there are several herbs that were (and still are) used for removing
worms and parasites from children, adults, and livestock.  Garlic is
mentioned in Egyptian herbals (for numerous uses) for worms, Culpepper
recommends garlic for killing worms in children (amongst other things). 
Sage is also said to kill intestinal worms, and there are numerous other
vermifuges (agents that destroy or expel intestinal worms, aka vermicide;
& antithelmintic).  New world plants, or at least modern preparations
that are used to great success with this include black walnut (old
world?), pumpkin seed, and pau d'arco.
