Diarrhoea

Diarrhoea is accompanied by the pain is due to the wounds and the swelling of the intestine. In this disorder, a person suffers from a lot of frequent loose motions, along with pain. Due to the blood or mucus coming out with the stools, a lot of twisting pain occurs in stomach.

Symptoms of Diarrhoea:
Let us understand diarrhoea`s main symptoms are following:

  • Frequent loose motions without any trouble

  • Weakness and dryness in body

  • Bubbling sounds in abdomen

  • Backache

  • Distaste in meals


    • Causes of Diarrhoea:
    The continuous intake of heavy, spicy food and the use of stale, polluted and adulterated substances, causes problems in the digestive system and it decomposes after reaching the intestines. Thus, the intestine fills up with stool due to non-cleansing of bowels causing the contamination of the Dhatus as well. Sometimes, the urge of consumption of alcohol, change of atmosphere, consumption of cold food substances just after walking in sunshine and too much consumption of oily foods also causes Diarrhoea.

    Treatment of Diarrhoea by Nature Cure:
    In cases of Diarrhoea it is very important that one tries his level best to eliminate his faecal matter and the toxic substances, accumulated in the intestines rather than trying to stop the process. Hence, the treatment for the elimination of the faecal matter is given as follows:

  • The accumulated faecal matter in intestine is cleansed by taking enema of warm water mixed with lemon juice for two to three days.


  • A Hip bath of cold water along with a wet abdomen pack should be taken.

  • Even the intake of Dalia, Khichadi, Orange and Mousami etc. should be continued.


  • Frequent rounds of loose motions are likely to develop dehydration in the body. In such a condition, a solution of Honey and lemon juice or table salt and sugar should be taken after short intervals.


    • Treatment of Diarrhoea by Yogic Asanas:
    VajrasanaThe four naval correcting asanas may also be practised for the prevention of recurrent loose motions due to the displacement of naval towards lower side.

  • The practice of Kunjala in morning is also helpful in bringing the naval in its proper place.
