Diarrhea Natural Treatment

Patients with diarrhoea pass frequent and loose stools because the bowels are loose and frequent bowel movements are induced, leading to much discomfort. Symptoms include pain in the stomach, nausea, fever and loss of appetite. Diarrhoea is caused by stress or anxiety, viral or bacterial infection, infected food or water, over consumption of alcohol or even as a side effect of some medication.

Whether short term (for a few days), or chronic (up to 2 weeks) diarrhoea requires treatment.

If you have diarrhoea, you can consume 1 ripe banana mashed with 1 tsp of tamarind pulp and a pinch of salt twice a day. Alternately eat ¼ tsp nutmeg powder mixed with 1 ripe banana.

Drinking strong black tea or coffee is also very beneficial in controlling diarrhoea. You can also powder ¼ tsp of cardamom seeds, boil it in thin tea water and drink this after adding some sugar for taste. Flavour your buttermilk with a coarse paste made with 2 to 3 tsp coriander seeds soaked overnight in ½ a cup of water. A paste of 15 to 20 tender curry leaves mixed with 1 tsp honey can be consumed to treat diarrhoea. A mixture 1 tsp date paste and 1 tsp honey should be consumed 4 to 5 times daily till the diarrhoea is controlled. Finally a mixture of 1 cup of pomegranate juice and 1 cup of sugarcane juice should be consumed 4 times daily
