There are various home methods to cope with a liquid stool, one of them - pomegranate crusts from diarrhea.

The grandmothers of modern Russians did not often have to eat grenades, so diarrhea, oak bark, rice, dried cherry fruit and other products were used for diarrhea.

Exotic in the old days, the pomegranate is now available to almost anyone and can replenish the arsenal of simple and harmless home methods to combat liquid stool.

Diarrhea in a child and adult

Diarrhea is not a single disease, but it is one of the most common symptoms of childhood diseases, which in third world countries are the main cause of child mortality.

The child's body has relatively small reserves of fluid and salts necessary to maintain the normal functioning of organs and systems.

The adult organism is better adapted to the losses of vital substances, because it "knows how" to store the reserves.

In a child, a critical condition occurs relatively quickly after the onset of diarrhea, which purges valuable substances.

Diarrhea( diarrhea) can be acute or chronic. Acute diarrhea has many causes, often starts suddenly and is combined with vomiting.

If you do not fill the deficiency of fluid in the body, then children under three years may soon begin to dehydration of the body.

In most cases, the only cure for acute diarrhea is the replenishment of fluid loss, for which it is possible to use a decoction of pomegranate crusts, and a strict diet, which basically consists of a total refusal to eat.

In the minds of many mothers and especially grandmothers do not feed the depressed child - almost the same as physically torturing him. It is important to understand what happens to the child with diarrhea.

The liver performs various important tasks in the human body, two of them are important in the context of the topic:

1. digestion;
2. fight with infections.

To load the child's liver with a digestive function - to distract from performing immune tasks, that is, to weaken the body.

As a rule, a child with diarrhea and vomiting will be provided with food, obeying the natural wisdom of the body.

If a healthy child is important to feed on the appetite, then focus on the appetite of a sick child - is vital.

If blood or mucus appears in the stool, the child can not get drunk or his condition worsens significantly, then the doctor should not be put off.

Chronic diarrhea lasts more than two weeks. The most common cause is irritable bowel syndrome.

The most likely cause of its development in a child is stress or changes in the diet. Diarrhea is not only watery, but also other types of unformed stools, when there is no "sausage".

In case of chronic diarrhea, the patient's body also loses fluid and electrolytes, but not as rapidly as in the case of acute diarrhea.

The main task in the treatment of chronic diarrhea is to normalize the patient's lifestyle, mainly his emotional state and diet.

How to use pomegranate for diarrhea?

So, if the condition of the child is not heavy, there are no blood and mucus in the stool, then you can treat or treat the child at home. The main direction is the replenishment of fluid in the body.

For this, you can buy rehydration salts from the pharmacy, from which you can make a solution for drinking, you can use ordinary water, decoction of herbs, infusion of dried fruits and various other liquids.

For replenishing fluids with diarrhea, it is better to discard products with high osmolarity, such as boiled milk, coca-cola, apple juice or chicken broth.

Pomegranate rind is excellent for rehydration with diarrhea due to its remarkable composition, not inferior in value to grains.

The dense shell, protecting the tender garnet grains, contains a natural antibiotic that can fight bacteria that cause diarrhea.

Polyphenols, whose content in the pomegranate skin is high, have valuable antioxidant and antiviral properties.

The high content of trace elements and vitamins has a supporting effect on the diarrhea organism and helps restore electrolyte balance. Tannins have an astringent effect and help cope with diarrhea.

You can brew a fresh peel of the pomegranate or harvest it for future use. For this it is necessary to cut off the useless inner white part.

Store dry crusts in a dry place in a breathable package, for example, in a textile bag or a paper bag( not a plastic bag!).

Decoction, more precisely, infusion, is prepared from grinded in a coffee grinder or a mortar of crusts. The recipe is simple: 10 grams of the product should be filled with a glass of boiling water, cover with a saucer or lid and insist for half an hour.

The first method should be half the glass, if after 10 minutes the condition has not improved, the broth of pomegranate peel needs to be drunk.

Another recipe suggests brewing a tablespoon of chopped peel with two cups of boiling water, let it brew in a closed ceramic or enameled container, which must be rinsed with boiling water. Drink should be drunk in small sips throughout the day.

After 8 to 12 hours after the beginning of such treatment, one can expect improvement in the condition. After this, the patient should be fed easily digestible products in small portions.

For example, heavily boiled rice porridge, bananas, corn flakes or crackers.

Help with diarrhea associated with vomiting

Diarrhea often goes hand in hand with vomiting, while the body loses fluid and salt twice as fast. Vomiting significantly complicates the filling of the deficit.

Often, parents can not water a child, because everything that gets into his stomach, immediately erupts outside, and the baby can get to the hospital already in serious condition.

How to eliminate the loss of fluids and valuable substances from at least one source, reducing the rate of the pathological process by half?

You can drink a child when you vomit, if you take on the armament of two tricks. The first is that the gag reflex depends on the degree of stretching of the walls of the stomach.

If you give a decoction of pomegranate crusts from diarrhea to children suffering from vomiting, large portions, for example a glass or even half a glass at a time, then the probability of an emetic reflex is high.

The same amount of liquid, but drunk on a teaspoon for half an hour, will almost certainly remain in the body.

If you have been drinking tea for a while with a teaspoonful of liquid without vomiting, you can try to increase the dose - first to dessert, and then to a tablespoon.

The second trick is to take into account the principle of the stomach, namely, the conditions under which it absorbs liquids.

This is a temperature - the stomach is capable of sucking fluids, the temperature of which is equal to the temperature of the blood.

If you drink scalding, freshly brewed tea, then it will start to leave the stomach, only cooled down to the desired temperature. Soaking up cold water will begin to be absorbed, heated up.

Giving your child a body temperature fluid, you will be sure that she immediately went to the destination, therefore, there is no irritation of the walls of the stomach, the signal does not go to the vomiting center of the brain, and vomiting does not begin.

Conclusion: Acute diarrhea and vomiting for a child is more dangerous than for adults, as the children's body does not have enough stores of liquid and salts to compensate for the loss.

Against the backdrop of all cases, diarrhea conditions requiring hospitalization do not happen very often, and in most cases, the improvement occurs at home within a few days.

Taking medication without prescribing a doctor is always a risk, and soldering a child to fill a lack of fluid and electrolytes is the most reasonable strategy in the situation described.

Any liquid with low osmolarity is suitable for this - ordinary water, herbal infusions, pomegranate peel extract and many others.
