Remember: Chamomile tea is generally safe, except if you are allergic to it. If you are allergic to daisy and aster, you may be allergic to chamomile because they come from the same family.
Additionally, this herb has natural blood-thinning properties, so be careful if you are taking blood-thinning medications. Before using chamomile as an herbal medicine for diarrhea, be sure to talk to your doctor.
Ginger Tea
If you’re looking for a good way to relieve your stomach upset, ginger tea might just be the answer.
According to one study, ginger tea helped chemotherapy patients when they experienced nausea and vomiting; additionally, pregnant women who suffer from morning sickness also benefit from drinking ginger tea.
If the benefits mentioned above still do not convince you, please note that some reports say that ginger could help soothe digestive symptoms like bloating, cramps, gas, and even indigestion.
To make ginger tea, simply peel a piece of ginger root. Grate it and then boil in water for 10 to 20 minutes. Since ginger has a distinct strong taste, you can try adding lemon or honey to make it more enjoyable.
Remember: Although ginger is generally safe, especially if you take it in moderation or food amounts, still be observant. If you experience symptoms like easy bruising or bleeding, stop taking the tea. Should you want to regularly consume ginger tea as a part of your food supplement or as a means to stop diarrhea, consult your doctor, especially if you have an underlying medical condition.
