Anything can become the cause of diarrhea, whether it is stale foods or a violation of the microflora of the body. Every person on earth has encountered the problem of diarrhea at least once. What to do in this situation? How to get rid of diarrhea at home? Traditional medicine will help to solve the problem. It often happens that there is no urgent need to feed your body with medications that can disrupt the liver and create a big burden on the heart. A completely different thing - decoctions and infusions.
Treatment of diarrhea at home can be done simply by looking in the refrigerator or looking for a suitable composition on a shelf with cereals.
Rice
As you know, starch has enveloping properties and is often used when it is necessary to treat diarrhea with home remedies. If you did not find the necessary product at home, you can replace it with ordinary rice and cook a very effective broth. It quickly localizes the ailment and relieves you of symptoms. Among other things, rice contributes to the proper formation of excrement, while absorbing excess moisture. During diarrhea, the body weakens, it needs strength. However, rough food at this time is contraindicated, but nutritious rice broth in such a situation would be very welcome.
Recipe:
In 0.5 liters of boiled water, you need to add 2 teaspoons of soaked rice (soak better in cold water). This mixture must be put on medium heat and stir for 40-50 minutes. When the broth has cooled to room temperature, it must be filtered through a strainer and taken in 150 ml every 3 hours.
Bird cherry
The berries of bird cherry have been used by people for a long time. Even then, the astringent property of the berry had a beneficial effect on the body, which made it possible to get rid of many ailments. Today we also use cherry flowers when treatment of diarrhea is necessary at home. The fact is that these fruits (at any stage of ripening) contain tannins, which are beneficial for the intestinal microflora and help to cope with the symptoms of diarrhea. It should be noted that bird cherry can not be taken often in large quantities: it contains a special substance that, when ingested, releases hydrocyanic acid, which is a poison. In order to avoid poisoning, you should properly prepare a decoction.
Recipe:
Fill a glass with washed bunches of bird cherry, and then pour them into a pot or other container. Pour the fruits with two glasses of boiling water and put the composition in a water bath for 25-35 minutes. After this time, cover the finished mixture and let it brew for half an hour, and then strain.
Ready broth to drink one tablespoon hourly. To treat a child under three years of age, the dose must be reduced by three times.
Pomegranate peel
When we eat pomegranate, we usually throw away the crusts, completely unaware of the amazing medicinal properties they possess. Pomegranate peel is 30% tannins, so it can be an excellent remedy for diarrhea. It is important to take into account the fact that only the red part of the cortex has healing properties, the white layer should be removed. Such a treatment for diarrhea at home is quite quick.
This tool has a number of contraindications. Before treating a child with pomegranates, consult your doctor. Also, do not use the peels of these fruits if you suffer from anal fissures, have jade or hepatitis. In addition, you can not combine antihistamines and pomegranate.
Before preparing a medicinal decoction, you need to clean the bark of the inner white layer and dry (you can use a microwave or oven to speed up the process).
Recipe:
Dry crusts must be carefully crushed in a coffee grinder and pour one teaspoon of the resulting powder with a glass of boiling water. After this, the broth is cooked in a water bath for 15 minutes.
When the mixture is ready, it should be allowed to infuse for 40 minutes and take one teaspoon 3-4 times a day. If the poisoning was severe, then take the medicine for at least two days. The dose for children must be agreed with the pediatrician.
How to get rid of diarrhea (diarrhea) at home with blueberries
From ancient times, blueberries were famous for their miracles, they dried it, prepared stewed fruit, tinctures, and much more. In addition to tannins, the berry contains pectin, which also helps get rid of diarrhea. To cope with the ailment, only dried blueberries are used, since fresh fruits produce the opposite effect and are taken for constipation.
Nevertheless, do not forget that folk remedies for diarrhea and treatment at home should be stopped and consult a doctor if the symptoms do not stop within a week.
Recipe:
For the preparation of jelly, one tablespoon of dried blueberries accounts for 300 ml of water and a teaspoon of starch, as well as sugar to taste. Keep in mind that granulated sugar causes fermentation, so you should refrain from eating too sweet dishes. The mixture is boiled, like regular jelly, and taken orally without restrictions.
Blueberries are a great way to speed up the treatment of diarrhea in adults. In children (at home), such a medicine generally passes to "Hurray!" Dry fruits can simply be chewed in small portions or added to tea. You can buy such a "drug" in the store or stock it with it in the summer.
Diarrhea. Activated Carbon Home Treatment
This is a proven natural medicine that copes with the manifestations of diarrhea, but has some specific effects on the body. The fact is that, when it gets into the body, activated carbon begins to act as an adsorbent, removing not only harmful substances, but also capturing beneficial bacteria. Such microorganisms are extremely important for immunity. The second disadvantage of this tool is that it helps to get rid of only those substances that have not yet been absorbed into the blood, therefore activated carbon works only in situations with food poisoning. How to get rid of diarrhea at home if diarrhea is caused by other causes and lasts a long time? Let us make a reservation right away: in the case of a viral infection or chronic bowel disease, the above-mentioned medicine will simply be useless, therefore it is better to consult a doctor who can make an accurate diagnosis and prescribe the appropriate therapy. And along the way (again, only after consulting a specialist) it will also be possible to resort to recipes of traditional medicine - an integrated approach turns out to be more effective. But back to coal.
How to take pills
With diarrhea, it is recommended to take activated carbon tablets 3 times a day, at the rate of 1 tablet per 10 kg of weight. If the diarrhea is strong and does not stop, the dose can be increased to one tablet per 1 kg of weight. The course of treatment should not exceed 10 days, as this can lead to dehydration and exhaustion. Drinking activated carbon is recommended with plenty of water. Below are other popular diarrhea treatments.
Oak bark
In addition to tannins, oak bark contains many useful trace elements that not only solve the problem of diarrhea, but also help protect the gastrointestinal tract from irritation. Interacting with proteins, they create a unique protective layer. Oak bark helps not only to treat diarrhea. This herbal medicine is used for food poisoning and other diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, since it has not only tanning and astringent, but also anti-inflammatory effect.
Recipes:
- Treatment of diarrhea with home remedies can be carried out by brewing a therapeutic infusion. To do this, dry oak bark must be filled with 0.5 l of cold boiled water and let it brew for 8 hours. You need to drink the infusion in the same doses throughout the day.
- Alcohol tincture is prepared as follows. Dry oak bark is poured with 400 ml of vodka and infused for a week. Take 20 drops 2 times a day.
- To prepare a medicinal decoction, you need to pour 0.5 cups of bark with 1 cup boiling water and leave over low heat for 30 minutes. Take chilled 2 tablespoons 3 times a day.
Some mix the brewed oak bark with chamomile and put an enema.
Black pepper
Treatment of diarrhea at home can be carried out by using ordinary black peppercorns for this purpose. Seasoning improves digestion and promotes the release of enzymes in the intestines. It is worth noting that this tool has contraindications. In diseases such as anemia, inflammation of the kidneys or bladder, you can not take black pepper. In addition, such a remedy should not be given to children under 5 years old.
How to take black pepper
In order to cope with diarrhea, it is necessary to swallow (without chewing) 10 peas and drink plenty of water. Better to take the "medicine" at night.
Strong tea
Almost no breakfast is complete without a cup of freshly brewed tea. We drink it and do not suspect what medicinal qualities this drink has. The stronger the welding, the more strong astringent effect it will have. Of course, for such purposes, a packaged product will not be suitable at all, since it mainly consists of small particles that remain during the processing of tea leaves and do not have the useful substances that are so necessary if diarrhea is tortured. Home treatment is best done using loose tea.
To alleviate the condition, it is necessary to drink an almost pure tea leaves without diluting it with boiling water or cold water.
Recipe:
In ¼ cup of strong tea you need to add 5 teaspoons of sugar, and then add sour grape juice. Thanks to this composition, diarrhea can be forgotten in a few hours.
If diarrhea is caused by a viral disease, you can add an incised bulb to the tea. You don’t have to eat it - just hold the onion in tea for 10 minutes.
Blue iodine
This tool perfectly restores microflora. Blue iodine will help cope with diarrhea caused by infection. The composition of such an unusual analogue of the drug known to everyone includes starch, which, when combined with iodine, creates a unique mixture, which is quite an effective remedy for diarrhea. The therapeutic composition helps to disinfect the body and get rid of a number of concomitant infections.
Store blue iodine and mixtures containing it, it is necessary in a well-closed glass container, and always at room temperature. True, after a few days, the drug loses its beneficial properties. You can find out that blue iodine is no longer suitable for treatment by looking at its color: if it has faded and became pale, it is unlikely to help with diarrhea.
Vodka with salt
A rather specific way to get rid of diarrhea, but, nevertheless, very effective. You can store such a drug for a long time, so in case of unexpected diarrhea, you can take action immediately.
If there is no salt tincture at hand, you can simply mix 80 ml of vodka with 1/3 teaspoon of salt and drink in one gulp. Of course, such a recipe is by no means suitable for children, people with liver diseases or pregnant women.
Chicken stomachs
It is not the stomachs themselves that are responsible for getting rid of diarrhea, but rather the yellowish film inside them. For such purposes, it is better to buy poultry in trusted stores to make sure that the chicken offal is fresh and not frozen.
The stomachs need to be cut, rinsed thoroughly and the gastric film carefully separated, and then left to dry on a piece of paper at room temperature. The next day, you should grind the dried substance into powder and take 1 tablespoon 2 times a day. For children, the dose is 1 teaspoon twice a day.
Finally
If you suffer from diarrhea (diarrhea), treatment with folk remedies at home will help alleviate the condition, reduce the frequency of urges, and sometimes eliminate the problem completely. But! If symptoms begin to be accompanied by pain, it is better not to delay and consult a doctor. In addition, you should not experiment with "grandmother's advice" and test their effect on yourself, and especially on children, if you are not sure about the causes of the ailment. If diarrhea is also accompanied by vomiting, as well as an increase in temperature, there can be no talk of any self-treatment - urgently call an ambulance or at least a local therapist (pediatrician)!
