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 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.

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.

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.

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.
