If your children, especially babies, have diarrhoea, give them finely grated apples. As an extra help, follow up with oatmeal porridge. Older children can take the oatflakes raw. They should chew them thoroughly, insalivating well, and preferably not be given anything else to eat for a few hours. For very stubborn cases of diarrhoea there is a simple plant that helps almost without exception. This herb, called tormentil, has already been recommended for haemorrhages.
Put bad cases of diarrhoea on a ‘tea day’. What does this mean? Depending on the gravity of the case and the child’s age, nothing but herb teas are given for 6-12, or even up to 24 hours. The following herbs are recommended: Silvery lady’s mantle (Alchemilla
alpina), bilberry leaves, sage, Iceland moss, silverweed {Potentilla anserina), and tormentil. Furthermore, it is advisable to take activated charcoal (Biocarbosan contains charcoal and charcoaled coffee) to absorb the toxins present in the system. White clay has a similar effect. Food may be directly responsible for poisons entering the intestinal tract or the toxins can originate inside through putrefaction and excessive fermentation in the bowels, causing diarrhoea. Whatever the case may be, use activated charcoal to combat such upsets.
