Diarrhea - Effective, safe and time-tested natural treatment

Diarrhea is an increase in the frequency of bowel movements or a decrease in the form of stool or greater looseness of stool. Although changes in frequency of bowel movements and looseness of stools can vary independently of each other, changes often occur in both. The most common cause of acute diarrhea is infection--viral, bacterial, and parasitic. Here is an effective remedy to control diarrhea in the beginning. Make one cup of hot black tea. Cut a fresh lemon into half and squeeze one half of it into the simmering hot tea. Add sugar to taste, if you like. Filter the tea. Drink the warm tea. Repeat one or two times a day if necessary.   This is a time-tested remedy for diarrhea. If it's not controlled, seek medical attention.
