None: The medical treatment for pinworms is a short course of anti-helminthic (anti-worm) drugs, usually for 3 days. They have almost no side effects, usually are cheap, and are very effective. There is no reason to seek alternative treatments.

Natural not always : Herbs or "natural" treatments are not always safe, and sometimes are dangerous. They are uncontrolled, easily contaminated, and are usually complexes of many chemicals. Use a medication that is safe and effective and extensively monitored.
