diarrhoea Natural Remedies 

Diarrhea is intolerance to a particular food, virus, bacteria, some anxiety or a change in diet. A foot bath would not literally help to ease diarrhea, instead try the following tips to have control over your condition -

  • Boil 2 tsp of arrowroot powder in a cup of water, without adding any sugar and drink this solution 3-4 times at an interval of 2 hours. This is an excellent remedy and your condition will improve in no time. You can also boil strong black coffee in a cup of water without milk to ease the condition and if you are a coffee lover then the best option.
  • Eat lots of lactobacillus (healthy bacteria) found in plain yoghurt or curds and avid milk completely till you feel better. Also make sure that your diet is low in fats, oily or fried foods, and bakery foods like biscuits, cookies, cakes and pastries.
  • If diarrhea is severe it can cause major water loss from the body. So keep your body well hydrated with water or juices.
  • Eat pomegranates or drink pomegranate juice, eat apples in the stewed form – very effective for diarrhea.  

Take plenty of rest and consult a specialist if these tips don't work.
