In such cases, diarrhoea usually lasts for 2-3 days and goes away of its own accord, but in a hot climate, especially, it is a good idea to ensure hydration.

Rehydration sachets can help replace lost salts, electrolytes and fluids. For the traveller or other person using Homeopathy, Arsenicum Album is the best remedy to take for Diarrhoea through bad food or drink, with a sudden onset, watery, stinging and burning with chills and often vomiting. If that does not work try Veratrum Album.

Another remedy, China, evidences in great weakness and painful wind. Cuprum Met has cramps with diarrhoea. Each remedy can be found from one of the Pharmacies on the Links.

Other causes of diarrhoea are from taking Antibiotics, and from other conditions such as Colitis (inflammation of the large intestine) or Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), another ‘Umbrella’ term for various digestive system complaints.

For longer-term diarrhoea, Homeopathy can really help. It will need a full individualising case-taking in a consultation which includes medical history, physical, emotional and mental characteristics in a personalised profile.
