Natural Ways To Treat Diarrhea And Upset Stomachs

Cloves And Cumin

Cloves are a great natural remedy for an upset stomach and diarrhea as this herb contains substances that help decrease the amount of gas in the stomach and increase gastric secretions, which can speed up slow digestion and reduce pressure and cramping the patient may be experiencing. Cloves are also well known to help reduce nausea and vomiting as well. If an individual is dealing with an upset stomach, they can try mixing one or two teaspoons of ground cloves with one teaspoon of honey before bedtime.

Cumin, whether in seed or powder form is also another effective digestive aid for an upset stomach. Cumin seeds, in particular, contain active ingredients that can help reduce indigestion and excess stomach acids, reduce intestinal inflammation, decrease gas and fluctuance, and acts as an antimicrobial. For an upset tummy, try mixing one or two teaspoons of powdered cumin into meals or add a couple teaspoons of powdered cumin or seeds to boiling water to make a tea.
