How to use folk remedies to stop diarrhea in children? Diarrhea in children is mostly caused by these two reasons

We all hope that children can grow up healthily, but in the process of growing up, children will encounter the threat of some diseases. Childhood diarrhea is one of the common diseases, so how to treat childhood diarrhea? What are the folk remedies for treating childhood diarrhea?

There are two reasons why children have diarrhea:

First, children’s spleen and stomach functions are inherently weak. If they eat too much raw, cold, or greasy food, it will cause a great burden on the gastrointestinal tract, damage the spleen and stomach, and cause diarrhea.

Second, some babies have poor physical constitution, weak spleen and stomach, and weak internal organs. They are easily affected by wind, cold, heat, summer heat and humidity when the weather changes, which can cause diarrhea.

Folk remedies for treating diarrhea in children

1. Peel the garlic, cut off the head and tail, then peel off the thin skin on the outside of the garlic cloves. After defecation, take a sitz bath with warm water to wash your buttocks. Then insert the peeled garlic into the child's rectum. The deeper the garlic is inserted into the rectum, the better the treatment effect will be. Generally speaking, the stool will be formed five or six hours after the garlic is inserted into the rectum, and the diarrhea will stop. Put one or two cloves each time for two or three days, and the diarrhea will be cured.
