DIARRHOEA DUE TO INDIGESTION OF FOOD

Remedy (Nuskhe)

• Insert ¼ teaspoon nutmeg (jaiphal) powder inside a ripe banana and eat.
• Swallow 1 teaspoon fenugreek seeds (methi daana), without chewing along with 1 tablespoon curd (dahi) for immediate relief from diarrhoea.  In case the problem is acute, take it twice a day.  While travelling, fenugreek seeds can be taken with water also.
• Boil 1 cup of water and add in 5-8 tender leaves of guava (amrod).  Boil for a further 2-3 minutes.  Remove from fire and cover the pan and keep aside for another 5-10 minutes.  Add a pinch of salt to the liquid before consuming.  Drink as much as you can.
• Mix a little salt with juice of lemon (nimbu), drink it without diluting with water.
• Drink rice water "kanji" (the starch water which is left after boiling rice) mixed with some rock-salt (kala namak) and some roasted cumin seeds (bhuna jeera).
• Mix a pinch of salt with 1 tablespoon ginger juice and drink it every hour.
• Eat plums; plums control diarrhoea and do not lead to constipation.
