Diarrhea Treatment in Homeopathy
When stool is loose or watery, it is called diarrhea. It is typically a health condition that often resolves on its own without medical intervention.
You may need to go to the bathroom quickly when you have diarrhea, and this will happen more often than usual. You may also experience bloating, abdominal pain, and sometimes nausea.
While most diarrhea is self-limiting, sometimes diarrhea can cause serious problems. Diarrhea can be caused by dehydration (when your body loses a lot of water), electrolyte deficiency (sodium, potassium and magnesium deficiency, which play an important role in the body’s vital functions) and kidney failure. When you have diarrhea, you lose water and electrolytes in your stool.
