Home Remedies For Diarrhea Without The Use of Drugs

Author: Sandra Kim Leong

Article:
Home remedies for diarrhea have been used by many generations
and various cultures. Diarrhea can inflict just about anyone.
Many of these home remedies for diarrhea are worth considering,
as they are just as effective. There is really no need for you
to turn to drugs for treatment since home remedies are mostly
natural and can provide relief with fewer or no side effects.

Diarrhea is a means for your body to remove a harmful substance
in a quick manner. You may also experience vomiting and fever
while having diarrhea. Although it is helpful to efficiently
purge the body of the foreign substance, it is important to know
that diarrhea can cause dehydration. Dehydration is very
dangerous, especially for children and senior people. Should you
observe blood or mucus in the stool, there could be a more
serious underlying reason for your digestive complaints.

Although drugs can provide relief, they can have an impact on
the intent of your body to cleanse. Hence, home remedies for
diarrhea which assist your body to naturally cleanse are better
alternatives. Here is a list of some of them:

1. Herbal teas can also help you alleviate your symptoms and to
soothe an upset stomach. Blackberry tea is excellent. Ginger tea
or ginger in capsules helps relieve cramping. A tea brewed with
croton weed leaves is also a great home remedy for diarrhea.

2. Wild oregano oil is antibacterial, anti parasitic, and
antiviral. Hence it can help target the root cause of your
digestive disorder, especially if it is caused by bacteria,
virus, or parasites.

3. Brown rice and toasted whole grain bread are traditional home
remedies for diarrhea that my grandmother used and with good
reason. These foods provide sufficient bulk for the stool, while
giving you some energy.

4. Homeopathic remedies can also help. Homeopathic Arsenicum
enables you to eliminate toxins after eating spoilt food and
also to control diarrhea. Another of the popular home remedies
for diarrhea is cuprum arsenicosum. You would need to take four
charcoal tablets every hour, so as to keep toxins from being
absorbed by the body.

5. Wheatgrass powder is supposedly effective for treating
diarrhea from irritable bowel syndrome. Mix a double or triple
dose in a glass of water. Follow this glass with a glass of
plain water.

6. Ayurvedic home remedies for diarrhea are also known to help.
One recipe is a gruel made from half cup of rice, four cups of
water, half tablespoon of ginger paste, salt to taste, and half
cup pomegranate juice. Mix and cook all ingredients except the
juice. After cooking, add the juice and consume while warm. This
mixture provides hydration and reduces inflammation in the
digestive tract.

7. A recipe that contains several helpful ingredients for
diarrhea comprises of a cup of plain yogurt, a quarter teaspoon
of turmeric powder, and a pinch of salt. Simply add the spices
after warming the yogurt and drink.

8. Drink only non caffeinated and non alcoholic fluids whilst
feeling sick. Skip apple juice however but choose ginger ale and
carrot juice instead.

You can easily reach for kitchen cabinet so that you can prepare
these home remedies for diarrhea. You should, while having
diarrhea, hydrate and flush your body with lots of water.
Electrolytes or minerals are usually lost, in cases of prolonged
diarrhea. Thus, do remember to consume plenty of liquids,
preferably those containing carbohydrates, especially glucose,
and electrolytes such as oral rehydration liquids. In the event
that you continue to experience diarrhea despite taking home
remedies for diarrhea for more than a day or two, then see a
doctor immediately.

Ginger has been known to have many healing properties - Asian cultures have known this MUCH longer than us Westerners. ;) When I have a sore throat, a few slices of ginger steeped in hot water with a little bit of honey literally does the trick.

I SWEAR! Just before I saw your blog I spoke with a woman, getting older and acquiring new physical ailments where she explained her frustrations with her doctor and I said, "Doctors don't know everything about what's going on with your body." She wholeheartedly agreed - and I am really glad to see your blog! I know I will be back! :D

Thank you so much for the comment! I just want people to know what I didn't. What we don't tend to realize is that when you go to Dr. 91/2 times out of 10 they are going to stuff you with medication. That didn't work? Lets give you some more! when it is doing us more harm than good. Now we take antibiotics and drugs so much, that the sick bugs are growing immune to it, producing illness that is resistant to our drugs. Like I said, I could have lost my baby! Please everyone, trust your instincts before you go trusting some Dr. I will remember your tip as well. :) I get bad colds every year. thanx.

Hey I love ur site..

Actually all these are well known home remedies specially for us Indians.. but we tend to forget them in times of need and instead depend on Antibiotics and other medicines. In fact when I was growing up, my mother never used any OTC medicines for any ailments. She always had a cure of her own and it always worked.

Your note on Yoghurt it to be noted. Even in the Middle East where I am residing right now, every meal is ended with a glass of Laban or diluted youghurt..

Here are a few home remedies to help Diarrhea:

Chamomile is very good for many ailments, especially stomach problems. Make chamomile tea to relax the pain and the body and help get the stomach stronger and function properly.

Rice is a good solution for diarrhea since it makes the stool more solid and less watery. Sticky rice is even a better solution than regular rice so if you can, make your rice more sticky. Eat up the rice with a glass of water since it might be hard to swallow.

Plain yogurt is very good for the stomach when having pain and dysfunctions. Eating yogurt daily will help to strengthen the stomachs activity and bring it to normal. Don't add fruit or cereal to the yogurt since it might make it worse.

There are a few more on the website but I didn't want to copy it all
