Diarrhea

Well, short episodes of the diarrhea may be good for you. It is the body’s way of releasing toxins out of your system. I personally don’t take over the counter anti diarrhea media if I have less than 5 episodes of these short and sometimes quite painful trips to the bathroom.

When ever I have diarrhea, I make sure I take a lot of water to avoid dehydration. Otherwise, I just allow myself to suffer a little bit and observe. If it’s more than 3 in a day, then I will visit to the pharmacy. There are, however natural and alternative remedies for diarrhea.

The herb slippery elm is believed to help soothe the inflammation of the lining of the colon during diarrhea. There are available capsules from health store and the best way to take it is to open two capsules and mix the powder with water to form a gel like paste. Take a tablespoon of the paste a day.

We all know that our colon is filled up with good bacteria right? So, in order for our body to naturally counter off the bacteria that it is trying to get rid off, get a dose of the good stuff from probiotics.

Activated charcoal has also been found to be effective in removing the toxins out of your system. Make sure to read the label when you buy charcoal supplements as too much intake of this may cause stomach upset, diarrhea, constipation or vomiting.

Again, before you pop up the medicines for diarrhea, allow the toxins first to be released by at least a visit or two in the bathroom a day. Otherwise, toxins might be locked up inside.

What remedies will you use if you have diarrhea? I would like to hear. Don’t forget to explorer more articles from my website Natural Health Care Reviews
