Diarrhoea Home Remedies - Red Apple

Now this is a remedy that goes back in time, ask anyone over 50 years of age, and they will tell you that it was what they were given to fight off diarrhoea when they were kids.

Method

Mix some grated apple with a bit of honey and allow them to brown before eating.

Although known as an old wives tale there is some scientific evidence to show that this remedy could help with a bout of diarrhea

• The honey will help towards rehydradtion which is an important part of getting over a bout of dairrhoea.
• And apples are rich in soluble fibre, and are known to cleanse the digestive system.

Diarrhea Home Remedies - using Herbs

Some foods can fight diarrhoea because of the astringent compounds found in them  (Astringement means that they drain water from the gut, solidifying faeces).  Other foodstuffs contain compounds that will kill off bacteria, all helping in some way to keep the "trots" at bay.

Dried Blueberries

Blueberries are rich in anthocyanosides which are chemical elements known as super-antioxidants that kill bacteria, including E.coli a common cause of Bacteria.

Cinnamon

Cinnamon is anti-microbial which means it is a "substance that kills or inhibits the growth of micro- organisms such as bacteria or fungi". And a nice cinnamon tea is believed to be one of the quickest ways of helping to get rid of diarrhea.

Fenugreek Seeds

Fenugreek is a spice used in Indian and Middle Eastern cooking and has long been a natural medicine for diarrhoea and gastrointestinal spasms. They contain ample amounts of soluble dietary fiber which as we have seen with oats, helps to solidify watery stools.

Ginger

Ginger has strong antioxidant properties and is an effective anti-microbial agent, which helps fight inflammation, cleanses the colon, and reduces spasms and cramps.
