There's actually a powder named No planaria etc. Most of the well known LFS stocks them

Just normal aquarium salt will do. I did dose high level of salt in my aro tank before. No issue at all. The white worms just die off and filtered by the filter. What I did is do a small water change and clean the filter wool abit after the worms are gone.
