Treatment of diarrhea with dill or carrot seeds

Treating diarrhea with seeds from plants such as dill or carrots is a proven way to get rid of loose stools at home. With proper use of seeds, you can achieve a carminative effect, reduce intestinal peristalsis and get rid of flatulence.

Dill water

Dill water is a natural medicine that is used as a carminative. It is often recommended to be given to newborn babies to help them get rid of intestinal splitting. In addition to carminative action, dill water has an anti-spasmodic effect. After its ingestion, the spasm is relieved from the intestines and gases move more easily through it.

To prepare medicinal water, you need to purchase dill seeds. Fennel seeds have a similar effect, since this plant also belongs to the Umbrella family. One teaspoon of seeds is placed in a pot of boiling water (volume of water - 300 ml) and boiled for a minute under a closed lid. The fire is turned off and water with seeds is infused for 40 minutes. After the resulting infusion is filtered and used as directed.

Carrot seeds

Carrot seeds are similar in their action to dill seeds. They also help accelerate the movement of gases through the intestines and relieve spasms from it.

In order to obtain the desired effect, it is necessary to grind the carrot seeds in the required amount with a coffee grinder. You need to consume the powder one teaspoon from 1 to 3 times a day, depending on the severity of flatulence or diarrhea.

Fresh dill

Melissa has an antispasmodic and anti-inflammatory effect, which explains its use for flatulence, diarrhea, stomach and intestinal spasm. In addition to these effects, lemon balm helps to normalize metabolism, improves appetite and digestion.

Therefore, when flatulence is accompanied by colic and intestinal spasm, it is enough to take 4 tablespoons of lemon mint, pour 250 ml of boiling water over it and soak in a water bath for 20 minutes. The resulting infusion is cooled, filtered and taken 3 times a day, 1 tablespoon.

Garlic has antiseptic and wound healing properties, which makes it possible to use it to get rid of gastrointestinal problems.

Cumin with diarrhea

Cumin is used to get rid of diarrhea and flatulence, due to its ability to stimulate the production of gastric juice, reduce putrefaction in the intestine, relieve spasm from it and normalize the digestive system as a whole.

Cumin can be added to food during cooking if there is a tendency to gas production.

For the preparation of formulations based on cumin, which help to eliminate flatulence and diarrhea, it can be combined with plants such as dried caraway, valerian root, chamomile flowers.

You can take a lump of refined sugar, put three drops of cumin oil on it and eat this sweet medicine. The number of sugar lumps should not exceed five pieces per day.

Caraway water is recommended for babies suffering from flatulence. The dosage is 1 teaspoon.

After 15 minutes, the infusion is filtered and cooled. You can take up to 3 times a day from 60 to 100 ml at a time. The infusion is drunk after meals. Such a composition should be stored in the refrigerator for no more than 48 hours.

Activated carbon for diarrhea

Activated charcoal is often used to relieve diarrhea and flatulence. This drug absorbs harmful substances, eliminating the processes of putrefaction and fermentation, which are accompanied by abundant gas evolution. In this case, coal comes out together with feces, removing all toxins from the body.

To calculate the dose, you need to know your body weight. You need to take 1 tablet of charcoal for every 10 kg at a time. So, if a person weighs 80 kg, then at one time he needs to drink 8 tablets. The dose should not be exceeded, as this can provoke constipation.
