Unani Medicine : Diarrhoea

Diarrhoea may occur due to many reasons. Maybe harmful bacteria during cholera, dietary indiscretions in typhoid fever, ulceration of the intestines in tuberculosis or some diseases of the liver or pancreas could be some of them.

Suggested Treatment:

The first measure to take in diarrhoea is to begin a strict diet of liquids. One must drink plenty of water because lack of water may lead to dehydration.

If diarrhoea is due to weak intestines, pills made of amla (Emblica officinalis) soaked in water to which a pinch of salt has been added should be given to the patient twice daily.

If the kernel of an old mango is available, it may be roasted with an equal quantity of powdered aniseed. This may be taken in six-gram doses in the morning and evening.

Ten grams of doodhi (Euphorbia hirta) ground in water could be drunk to check diarrhoea, or a paste made of the inner bark of the mango tree may be applied around the navel.

Fresh pulp of bael fruit (Aegle marmelos) roasted and taken in twenty-gram doses also helps stop diarrhoea.

Regimen

Lime juice added to water with a pinch of salt is the best drink during diarrhoea as it prevents dehydration.
