Natural Treatment for Diarrhea
Diarrhea can be treated through the following natural treatments:
- Herbs like blackberry, chamomile and raspberry are good for treating diarrhea. These herbs can either be taken in tea form or mixed with juices such as banana juice, pineapple juice or papaya juice.
- Fenugreek leaves helps in lubricating the intestine and reducing fever.
- Grapefruit seed extract with its anti-parasitic properties helps in fighting the parasites responsible for causing diarrhea.
- Slippery elm bark in any form can help in soothing the digestive tract.
- Drink plenty of water and fluids as these help in restoring the body fluids that are washed away during diarrhea.
Loss of water can also result in dehydration; therefore excess of fluids will help fulfill the fluid requirements of your body. - Carrot juice is also good as it helps in making the stools less watery.
- You can also try taking rice water and eat plenty of rice because rice helps in forming stools and supplies the required amount of vitamins.
- Wild oregano oil is another alternative for treating diarrhea. Oregano oil has anti-bacterial, anti-parasitic, anti-fungal and anti-viral agents that destroy the toxins causing diarrhea.
- Avoid high fiber foods such as whole cereals because these foods exert more pressure on the digestive tract and worsen the condition of diarrhea.
