Treat diarrhea without medicine
admin March 20th, 2009
If you have ever been to a hot country, you have probably experienced diarrhea: frequent and unrestrained evacuation of liquid stool caused by bacteria in local water, milk or food. Diarrhea can also be caused at home by excesses in diet (a diet that is too rich) or an allergic reaction to certain foods or medication or even by pressure.
More Prof Ilchi writes to treat diarrhea, avoid all solid food on the first day. Drink liquids like water, apple juice, meat or vegetable bullion and tea. These will recompense for your loss of water – dehydration being one of the main dangers of diarrhea – and will give your intestines a period of relax.
If you have stomach cramps, rub your hands together for about a minute. Then place both palms on your abdominal area. The heat will soothe the pain.
On the second day, eat small quantities of solid food. Between the least irritating are cooked cereals (especially rice), biscuits and soft-boiled eggs.
You can also try charcoal. It comes in tablet or capsule form (you can also get it off burnt toast!) Chinese medicine has always considered ginger one of the best remedies for diarrhea. Dilute a tablespoon in hot water and add honey.
