Medicinal herbs for diarrhea
-
Diarrhea can be very annoying. Running to the bathroom every time is hard enough, but often comes with stomach pain and generally not feeling well. Fortunately, there are several anti-diarrheal remedies available. Not only in the pharmacy, but also in nature. Plants like blackberries, raspberries, lady's mantle, oregano and potato can be used to make all-natural home remedies for diarrhea.
Diarrhea, what to do?
-
A few days of diarrhea is nothing serious for a healthy person. As long as you drink enough water there is nothing serious to worry about. A visit to the doctor is recommended if the diarrhea persists for more than a few days, you are already debilitated or if the diarrhea occurs in young children or the elderly. A doctor's visit is also necessary if the patient cannot keep water in. In other cases, which are by far the most, drugs are not really necessary. To get rid of the diarrhea faster, you can get started with medicines from nature.
Blackberry (Rubus fruticosus) or raspberry (Rubus idaeus)
-
For mild diarrhea, the leaves of both blackberry and raspberry can help. Both plants can be found in gardens as well as in forests. The leaves contain tannins that reduce bacterial growth and tannins that have a slight astringent effect. The preparation of the tea is the same in both cases, with the only difference being the plant from which the leaves are used.

Potato is not only a staple of many Dutch meals, it is also a plant that can be used against diarrhea. Only the tuber can be used, the rest of the plant is poisonous. Potato does not irritate the stomach and contains a lot of potassium. With diarrhea the body loses a lot of potassium, so it is important to add new ones.
