Diarrhea is defined as loose, watery stools occurring more than three times per day. Most diarrhea episodes resolve in a few days. Prolonged diarrhea can be a sign of other problems.
A bout of diarrhea can be bought on by many different factors, but at it’s essence it is caused by the bowels inability to cope with fatty foods which causes an imbalance that produces negative toxins (ama). Amongst the things that create this in-balance are things like ingesting a poisoned substance and/or other harmful bacteria, sudden and extreme climate change, as a by-product of a disorder afflicting a vital organ i.e. heart, lung etc and also stress worry and anxiety can trigger diarrhea.
In order to flush away the negative toxins the body evacuates the bowels frequently and indeed sometimes violently depending on the strength of the attack and the manner in which it was bought on. And because the body unwell and the digestive system not working properly these evacuations come out as loose and runny stools, sometimes streaked with blood and other mucous matter.
Ayurvedic Diet as Remedy for Diarrhea
As at its root diarrhea is a severe disruption of the digestive system, then during a bout of the illness it is virtually impossible and certainly not advisable to ingest solid foods. So a liquid diet of purifying agents such as vegetable soups is recommended to provide nourishment.
