Combine more than one for greater efficiency:
Peppermint herbal tea / Melissa
The first acts on the smooth muscles of the digestive system to soothe them while the second lowers our stomach’s production of acid. Perfect to calm nausea! Mix one teaspoon of each herb and let infuse for 10 minutes in 1L of water. Then place in a well-sealed thermos and drink throughout the day.
A mixture of essential oils
The essential oil of cloves is known for its antiviral properties. It works on many infectious agents, including norovirus, causing most gastrointestinal problems. The essential oil of cardamom has an antispasmodic effect. An ideal combination to stop the diarrhea. Take a drop of each oil with sugar or neutral tablet 3-6 times a day.
Probiotic
They reduce the symptoms and prevent the infection from becoming chronic by rebalancing our intestinal flora destroyed by digestive disorders. They are found in yogurt and you can also opt for dietary supplements specially formulated for gastrointestinal and/or acute diarrhea.
