MY GRANDMA'S NATURAL REMEDIES FOR DIARRHEA



My Grandma's Natural Remedies for Diarrhea image

My sweet grandma gave Nutmeg Tea to my mother when she was ill as a little girl, and it safely did the trick. Healthier than taking Imodium. Use for acute diarrhea caused by a virus, cold, flu, or mild food poisoning. Not intended to treat chronic diarrhea.

Categories     Berries

Time 16m

Yield 3 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 -3 banana, peels discarded
1 pint whole blueberries (fresh or frozen)
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg (DO NOT USE if pregnant or breastfeeding. DO NOT GIVE to children three years old and under.)
8 ounces water
honey, to taste (optional, added only for taste because drink is bitter)

Steps:

  • BANANA REMEDY: On the first day of treatment, eat 1 to 3 bananas. Then, eat 1 to 2 bananas each following day for as long as needed for up to 10 days. If diarrhea persists after 10 days of treatment, see a health care provider.
  • BLUEBERRY REMEDY: On the first day of treatment, eat 1 pint (12 ounce package) of blueberries in one sitting. Then, eat 1/2 pint (6 ounce package) of blueberries in one sitting each following day for as long as needed for up to 10 days. If diarrhea persists after 10 days of treatment, see a health care provider. Note: A one pint (12 ounce package) of blueberries equals about 2 1/2 cups in a measuring cup.
  • NUTMEG TEA REMEDY: Do not use if pregnant or breastfeeding. Do not give to toddlers or infants. DO NOT CONSUME MORE THAN 8 OUNCES OF NUTMEG TEA OR 1/2 TEASPOON NUTMEG PER 12 HOURS. On the first day of treatment, put a level 1/2 teaspoon of nutmeg into a mug. Heat water to boiling and pour into mug. Cover top of mug with a saucer to keep therapeutic oils from evaporating. Steep for 15 minutes or longer. Stir in honey if using. Stir before drinking to incorporate nutmeg granules. Ground nutmeg will sink to bottom of mug so use a spoon to eat all the nutmeg granules after drinking the tea. Another 8 ounces of nutmeg tea can be consumed 12 hours later. Then, drink 8 ounces of nutmeg tea each following day for as long as needed for up to 10 days. If diarrhea persists after 10 days of treatment, see a health care provider. DO NOT CONSUME MORE THAN 8 OUNCES OF NUTMEG TEA OR 1/2 TEASPOON NUTMEG PER 12 HOURS. ALSO, DO NOT CONSUME MORE THAN 16 OUNCES TOTAL OF NUTMEG TEA OR 1 TEASPOON TOTAL OF NUTMEG PER DAY.
  • BANANA AND BLUEBERRY REMEDY FOR CHILDREN: The recommended amount is for adults. For children, half the recommended amount of banana remedy and blueberry remedy. Banana Remedy and Blueberry Remedy are safe for children 7 months old and up; just make sure the little ones do not get choked. Puree remedies for infants. Cut the individual blueberries in halves or quartered for toddlers.
  • NUTMEG TEA REMEDY FOR CHILDREN: The recommended amount of Nutmeg Tea Remedy is for adults. For children, use a level 1/8 teaspoon of nutmeg in 8 ounces of hot water per day. CHILDREN ARE NOT TO CONSUME MORE THAN 1/8 TEASPOON TOTAL OF NUTMEG PER DAY. DO NOT GIVE TO CHILDREN THREE YEARS OLD AND UNDER.
  • HINTS: Taking these remedies at breakfast is best because they will stop diarrhea for the rest of the day. The Banana and Blueberry Remedies usually work within 3 hours and last for 24 hours. Nutmeg Tea Remedy usually works with 30 minutes and lasts for 24 hours. You can use all three remedies per day or use only one remedy per day.
  • EXAMPLE #1: For breakfast, I will drink 1 cup of nutmeg tea and eat 1 pint blueberries.
  • EXAMPLE #2: For breakfast, I will drink 1 cup of nutmeg tea and eat 1 banana.
  • Bananas are high in potassium, one of the most important electrolytes that is deplenished by diarrhea. Blueberry skins are high in antioxidants and fiber and contain anti-inflammatory and antiviral compounds that fight infections and boosts the immune system. Nutmeg is antiviral, antibacterial, and anti-parasitic.
