Are there safe home remedies to treat parasites?

Not in the U.S.: Vermox is the medication for pinworms. In the U.S., Vermox is by prescription only. I have heard that in some other countries, pinworm medication is over-the-counter. For other types of worms, blood parasites, and skin parasites, testing is needed and can be ordered by the doctor. Then treatment is with prescription medicines.

Yes: Many herbs can successfully treat parasites, including garlic, black walnut, gentian, quassia, and artemesia annua. The one I have had the most success with is papaya seeds- about 2 tbsp of ground papaya seeds. Of course, which herbs to use depends on which parasites you have.
