Treatment of dysbiosis with folk remedies is the use of all the wealth of nature, with its thousands of medicinal herbs and plants that truly have life-giving healing power. Herbs have been known for thousands of years. When there was no chemistry, our ancestors healed many diseases with the power of nature and accumulated considerable experience in these matters. It is we, “modern people” (and essentially ignorant and foolish) who ignore or even ridicule the strength of our ancestors, not even understanding our words and actions.
Traditional medicine has long been famous for its miraculous recipes. With their help, you can cure even the most severe illness. One of these ailments is dysbiosis. Folk remedies for the treatment of this disease are in no way inferior to drug prevention.
It is important to understand the benefits of traditional medicine. Its main task is to eliminate the symptoms of a sick body: abdominal colic, diarrhea, problems with gastrointestinal activity.
But this does not mean that you can rid yourself of dysbiosis only with traditional medicine. Complex treatment using diet, medications and herbal infusions is what the body really needs in the fight against the disease.
Preface
Surprisingly, in Europe not a single doctor diagnoses this disease. In our country this phenomenon can be found all the time. Even without mentioning pediatric practice, drugs for the treatment of dysbiosis are also prescribed to adults as one of the drugs in the treatment regimen. Sometimes this decision is justified, but sometimes the medicine is prescribed just in case, because it will not harm. Maybe then we shouldn’t spend a lot of money on auxiliary drugs, but replace them with folk remedies? Treatment of dysbiosis can indeed be carried out without pharmaceutical drugs. This was successfully practiced by doctors and healers; one can recall their practice today.
Will traditional medicine help?
Folk remedies in the case of dysbiosis, which is not a symptom of a serious disease, can replace drug therapy.
If the intestinal microflora is disturbed, a competent doctor will never make a non-existent diagnosis - dysbiosis, since such a disease does not exist. The specialist will first of all carry out a competent diagnosis, thanks to which he will be able to determine the causes of intestinal tract pathology. If dysbiosis is caused by poor nutrition, taking antibiotics or another similar etiology, then he will prescribe a diet, and folk remedies will help eliminate unpleasant symptoms and contribute to the restoration of the body.
But you need to use folk remedies with caution, having first consulted with your doctor.
Reasons for the development of the disease
First of all, you need to clarify this issue. Treatment of dysbiosis with folk remedies or special preparations will not be effective if you do not first understand why the death of beneficial bacteria occurred. Dysbacteriosis is nothing more than the replacement of beneficial microflora with pathogenic ones. Then, instead of normal digestion and absorption of nutrients, a malfunction occurs, and the person feels discomfort.
A healthy person will not be bothered by the disease. The human intestine contains more than a kilogram of beneficial bacteria. Their death is a consequence of serious disorders in the body. The reasons may be as follows:
- Long-term use of antibiotics, most often uncontrolled. That is, the person himself decides to improve his condition through these medications and feels imaginary relief. After the course, an inevitable deterioration follows, which they try to cure with a new dose of stronger drugs.
- Severe intestinal infection.
- Problems with the digestive organs. This may be pancreatitis and cholecystitis, ulcers and enterocolitis.
- Operations on the stomach and intestines.
- Poor nutrition.
- Decreased immunity.
Principles for choosing folk remedies for dysbiosis
- When treating intestinal dysbiosis in adults, it is necessary to select recipes so that they:
- The multiplied pathogenic microorganisms were destroyed.
- Conditions favorable for the growth of beneficial bacteria were created in the intestines.
- Improved digestive function of the gastrointestinal tract.
- Stabilized peristalsis.
- Eliminated the symptoms of dysbiosis - increased gas formation, bloating, colic, nausea, diarrhea or constipation.
“Grandma’s recipes” for eliminating dysbiosis, used in the course, allow you to normalize the microflora. Some natural formulations are recommended for everyone without exception. Some traditional methods of treatment are selected depending on which symptoms come to the fore - delayed bowel movements, flatulence or frequent loose stools.
To accurately select the most effective home method for restoring microflora, it is advisable to first consult with your doctor.
Traditional methods are most effective in the first stages of dysbiosis; in advanced cases, the main treatment is taking probiotics, enzyme or choleretic drugs.
The use of herbal remedies, natural products, and self-prepared tinctures to restore normal intestinal function has many advantages. The most important thing is that these treatment methods sometimes turn out to be much safer compared to medications.
They can be used for a long time, since they do not lead to addiction and can also be used as a preventive measure for microflora disorders in situations where dysbiosis is most likely. We are talking about antibacterial treatment, a period of recovery of the body after intestinal infections, and a decrease in the functioning of the immune system.
Treatment of dysbiosis
First of all, a diagnosis should be made. The treatment itself must be comprehensive and solve several problems simultaneously. This is the restoration of normalcy and the elimination of foreign flora in the small intestine. In addition, it is necessary to restore the functioning of the digestive system, motility and peristalsis. One of the main tasks is to increase immunity.
To achieve these results, special drugs are used. In addition, the treatment of dysbiosis in adults with folk remedies provides effective assistance. Many people combine conservative therapy with home methods.
Stages of disease development and general symptoms
The main signs of developing dysbiosis are:
- frequent disturbances in the process of bowel emptying (unstable bowel movements), various bowel disorders (constipation, diarrhea);
- flatulence, or increased gas production, often accompanied by pain;
- indicating the process of fermentation in the intestines: a swollen and rumbling stomach, heaviness and pain in the abdomen, spasms and colic, nausea, heartburn and belching, vomiting;
- unpleasant odor or unusual taste in the mouth;
- allergic reactions;
- increased sweating and general weakness;
- anemia;
- fatigue and sleep disturbances;
- irritability or lethargy;
- decreased physical activity and memory impairment;
- pale skin, brittle nails, deterioration of hair and skin;
- shortness of breath and heart pain;
- metabolic disease.

Obvious signs of dysbiosis do not appear overnight. Most often, the disease develops gradually with increasing symptoms.
It is customary to distinguish 4 stages of disease development:
- At stage 1, the disease occurs without obvious signs or mild symptoms. The level of normal flora in the intestines begins to decrease slightly. If treatment is started at this stage, dysbiosis can be quickly stopped;
- Stage 2 of the disease is characterized by the development of pathological processes. Pathogenic bacteria multiply rapidly, and beneficial bacteria die. At this stage, the first signs of dysbiosis appear in the form of various non-systemic disorders;
- At stage 3, the infectious process becomes obvious. The symptoms of the disease are already noticeable and begin to cause anxiety to the patient;
- The last stage of the disease is characterized by severe intestinal disorders, large-scale changes in microflora and the appearance of disturbances in the functioning of other organs. Nutrients do not enter the body, and it begins to deplete, and serious complications appear.
During the development of a pathological process in the body, the human immune system begins to suffer. As a result, the course of dysbiosis can be complicated by additional fungal and infectious diseases.

Severe forms of dysbacteriosis
The more complex the case, the more likely it is that medications will be required. In this case, in addition to the prescribed treatment, the doctor should advise you to eat well and consistently. If treatment with prebiotics does not help, then homeopathy or antibiotics must be administered. Most people receive such recommendations at the third stage of dysbiosis, that is, at the most severe stage.
Microflora
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dwa2Szzee3U
Representatives of microflora are the final link in the digestive chain. They ferment proteins and fight fiber. Bacteria form the body's protective functions. During the process, vitamins, enzymes, hormones, and amino acids are produced. Without the activity of microflora, it is much more difficult for the body to provide nutrients. By its own existence, flora suppresses pathogenic species, releasing the necessary metabolites into the environment.
E. coli produces 9 vitamins:
- Group B.
- A nicotinic acid.
- Phylloquinone.
Microbes act like enzymes. They are capable of producing some of the enzymes for the final breakdown of fats and proteins. At the same time, substances necessary for the body are synthesized. For example, acetylcholine. It has a stimulating effect on the autonomic system.
Intestinal microflora
Normal life requires suitable conditions. The pH factor is shifted to the acidic side; carbohydrate compounds serve as the nutrient medium. For the majority of the population, the intestines do not meet these requirements, determining the cause of the development of dysbiosis. Sources of difficulty include stress, alcohol, preservatives, and antibiotics.
Using Yeast
Treatment of dysbiosis in adults with folk remedies involves restoring normal microflora, in which the colony of beneficial bacteria will adequately grow and recover. A simple mash that you can prepare at home yourself helps with this. Heat 500 g of water over a fire, then dissolve a tablespoon of sugar and the same amount of honey in it. Add 2 g of yeast to this solution and leave for an hour and a half in a warm place. This composition should be drunk in the morning on an empty stomach, preferably an hour before meals. Even doctors do not deny that this is the most effective treatment for dysbiosis with folk remedies. The course of treatment is individual, usually it is 5-7 doses, and then a break for at least a month.
Therapeutic diet
A balanced diet quickly and effectively cures dysbiosis. The diet should include foods whose consumption creates a favorable environment for the growth and active reproduction of bifidobacteria and lactobacilli: baked and boiled vegetables, lean meats and fish.
But the amount of baked goods and sweets in the daily menu should be minimized. In such an environment, the number of pathogenic fungi and microbes rapidly increases.
When following an individual therapeutic diet, you must adhere to the following rules:
- drink at least two liters of pure still water daily to speed up metabolism and flush out pathogenic bacteria and fungi from the large intestine;
- The diet should include only fresh foods that do not contain flavorings, dyes, or flavor enhancers;
- for breakfast, lunch and dinner you need to eat low-fat fermented milk products - Varenets, cottage cheese, fermented baked milk, kefir, the composition of which is enriched with lacto- and bifidobacteria;
- It is better to eat often, but in small portions, and the last meal should be no later than 19 hours;
- It is necessary to include foods with coarse fiber in the diet (seaweed, cauliflower, carrots, beets, oat bran) to cleanse the mucous membranes of the gastrointestinal tract.
In newborns, dysbiosis often manifests itself in painful colic and bloating due to improper nutrition of the nursing mother. In this case, the pediatrician will help the woman adjust the daily menu and tell her how to properly introduce complementary foods to the baby. If the beneficial microflora in the intestines has died as a result of an acute but already cured infection, then the consumption of certain foods will allow the number of bacteria to be restored. When E. coli becomes the cause of the pathology, you need to eat a lot of onions and red peppers, and when staphylococci are activated, recovery will be accelerated by dishes made from any wild berries - cranberries, raspberries, blackberries.
Milk enemas
Often, when it comes to digestive problems, it is recommended to drink kefir. But considering the methods of traditional medicine, it is used in a slightly different way. Moreover, this way the symptoms go away much better. Treatment of intestinal dysbiosis with folk remedies involves using only a natural product with live bacteria, fresh and bacterially tested. This kind of kefir is very difficult to find in the store, so it is best to purchase it at a dairy kitchen. If you don’t have one in your city, then buy a special starter at the pharmacy and prepare kefir at home yourself.
If we consider the treatment of dysbiosis with folk remedies in children, then this recipe can be considered the number one medicine. Use it in the evening after bathing and before going to bed. For kids, 50-80 g of “live” kefir is enough. It is heated in a water bath, after which it is administered into the rectum as an enema. After this, you need to try to put the baby to bed as soon as possible. The secret of this treatment is very simple. Kefir, once in the intestines, effectively works to restore natural balance. The enema should be done at night.
Therapy methods
The goals of treating intestinal dysbiosis in adults and children are the removal of putrefactive microorganisms, toxins, and the natural restoration of the functioning of the digestive system. The fight against harmful bacteria must be comprehensive: the use of medications, adherence to a dietary diet, and adherence to unconventional methods.
The main types of treatment with folk remedies include:
- herbal medicine;
- use of fermented milk ingredients;
- use of honey, propolis.
The ingredients for the treatment of dysbiosis in adults and children are natural, easily accessible products that eliminate the symptoms of the disease.
Phytotherapy
For intestinal dysbiosis, treatment with herbs that have healing properties is effective to normalize the natural microflora. With this type of pathology of the digestive system, plants remove pathogenic microbes, preserving beneficial bacteria to quickly restore the internal environment of the intestine, relieve inflammation caused by infection, protect damaged organ walls from the negative effects of external factors, and also normalize the process of defecation, which is irregular.
Collections used in herbal medicine as a folk remedy for intestinal dysbiosis are:
- antimicrobial: burnet, coltsfoot, anise, St. John's wort, eucalyptus, chamomile, sage;
- anti-inflammatory: calendula, yarrow;
- enveloping, protective action: angelica, flax, marshmallow;
- laxative effect: dill, anise, mint.
Healing herbs for dysbiosis are used for infusions when signs of the disease appear. For drinks, plant leaves are poured with boiling water, the resulting liquid is covered with a lid, infused and filtered before use.
It is necessary to use herbs for intestinal dysbiosis several times throughout the day before meals. Oak bark and berry leaves have medicinal properties: black currant, strawberry, wild strawberry.
Plants that have a laxative effect are dangerous. Excessive consumption of dill, anise and mint causes addiction to the body, due to which the regularity of constipation increases. Treating intestinal dysbiosis in adults with laxative folk remedies is contraindicated for inflammation of hemorrhoids. If prolonged constipation is observed, it is recommended to use an infusion of buckthorn bark and senna herb. Oak bark, pomegranate, bird cherry fruits, burnet, and plantain seeds can help cure diarrhea in adults and children.
Dairy products
Treatment of intestinal dysbiosis with folk remedies is possible using fermented milk products. Natural ingredients include:
- kefir;
- curdled milk;
- curd whey;
- fermented baked milk;
- ayran.
Dairy products break down bacteria, remove harmful microbes, increase the number of beneficial microorganisms, and restore natural microflora. Fermented milk products can be used during the treatment of dysbiosis only in the absence of individual intolerance to the components in order to avoid an allergic reaction. During treatment of the disease, the use of fresh cow's milk is contraindicated, as it causes fermentation and causes bloating. The most effective products are whey and yogurt.
Whey is made from kefir, which is placed in hot water until the drink breaks down into curds and slurry. The separated consistency should be taken at room temperature in the morning on an empty stomach in the amount of one glass. The serum helps relieve pain and normalize the intestinal tract. For yogurt, milk is boiled and cooled. Black bread is added to the cold liquid to make a starter. The drink can be used every other day. Garlic croutons, which have nutritional properties, are added to the resulting dairy product.
Honey and propolis
Beekeepers' products have useful, medicinal properties that can cure diseases associated with the digestive tract. Useful ingredients used for dysbiosis are honey and propolis.
Honey consists of nutrients necessary for normal functioning. The main functions of the product during the treatment of dysbiosis are:
- removes harmful microbes, waste, toxins;
- prevents infection;
- relieves the inflammatory process;
- eliminates stagnation in the body;
- normalizes stool;
- improves the functioning of the gastric tract;
- restores damaged intestinal microflora.
Honey for dysbacteriosis has antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties. Thanks to the enzymes it contains, the beekeeping product improves digestion and relieves constipation.
Propolis is a natural antibiotic that does not allow pathogenic microorganisms to multiply and spread in the intestines. The adhesive mass removes bacteria and infections, improves local immunity, which helps cope with harmful microbes. Propolis has antibacterial and antifungal effects. The recipe with honey is simple: you need to use beekeeping products by adding them to warm water. The resulting drink must be taken after eating carbohydrate foods for 30 days.
Curdled milk with a secret
A simple and affordable product, which nevertheless has positive reviews. Treatment of dysbiosis in adults with folk remedies may well begin with the use of garlic curdled milk. To do this you will need a liter of fresh milk. Boil it and cool it. After this, you need to ferment it with pieces of dry black bread. After a day, you need to repeat the procedure, but now rub each cracker with garlic. Wait until they are completely soaked. You need to store the yogurt in the refrigerator and drink 100 g every day until you feel relief. If you drink it regularly, your intestines will restore normal function.
Honey and other bee products
Treatment with folk remedies for the disease described above involves the use of honey and other bee products. These products have a pronounced antimicrobial effect, due to which pathogenic microorganisms die or slow down their growth when consumed regularly. In addition, honey helps stimulate the intestines, which has a positive effect on well-being when constipation occurs.
If intestinal dysbiosis has been detected, the symptoms can be eliminated using recipes with propolis. This product has not only antimicrobial, but also anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory properties.
Treatment of dysbacteriosis with folk remedies involves daily use of pharmaceutical propolis tincture. Experts advise diluting 10 drops of tincture in 1 glass of clean, cool water and drinking the liquid before meals for 30 days.
The following mixture is no less popular - in half a liter of warm water you need to dissolve 2 g of yeast, 1 tbsp. l. sugar and 1 tbsp. l. honey The resulting consistency should be placed in a warm place for 60 minutes. After this, you need to drink the product (before breakfast). If you keep the mixture for more than 2 hours, it will lose its positive qualities.
How to cure intestinal dysbiosis at home with honey and propolis? 50 g of honey and propolis should be dissolved in 1 glass of warm water. The resulting drug should be drunk for 45 days twice a day.
Jerusalem artichoke on guard of health
The attitude towards the earthen pear is ambiguous. Some value root vegetables as worth their weight in gold, while others consider them a useless weed. But when choosing a method of treating intestinal dysbiosis in adults with folk remedies, we are faced with the fact that this is one of the most effective helpers. You can completely get rid of dysbiosis if you prepare a decoction.
Take 300 g of Jerusalem artichoke roots, pour them with a mixture of water and milk in a 1:1 ratio. It needs to be boiled until the earthen pear is ready to eat. After this, drain the liquid, add two tablespoons of butter and a spoonful of flour to it. Cook until thickened. The result is a white sauce, which you need to pour over the root vegetables and mix. The result is a very tasty dish that can cure the cause of dysbiosis. And the beneficial microflora will multiply on its own.
Features of restoration of intestinal microflora using traditional methods
Restoring intestinal microflora is a rather complex process that requires complex treatment. It takes place in 3 stages:
- Elimination of pathogenic microorganisms.
- Cleansing from impurities and toxins.
- Restoration of the intestinal microflora.
Note: restoration of the intestine should begin with identifying the reasons that served as the basis for the disruption of the state of its microflora.
Symptoms of intestinal dysbiosis
Additionally, it is worth including in your diet foods that normalize intestinal microflora:
- Boiled meat.
- Fruits and raw vegetables.
- Bread products made from rye flour.
- White bread with bran.
- Oatmeal and buckwheat.
- Dried fruits.
- Kissels and compotes.
- Kefir and kumiss.
- Mineral water.
Note: it is preferable to cook food by steaming or boiling, adding as little salt as possible.

Propolis tincture
This is another way to treat symptoms of dysbiosis with folk remedies. To prepare it yourself, you need to take 10 g of propolis and grind it thoroughly. Add a liter of cold water and let stand. Soon the propolis will fall to the bottom, and all foreign impurities will float to the surface. Now you can drain the water and add 100 ml of pure alcohol.
All that remains is to put the tincture in a dark place and leave it for a week. Don't forget to shake periodically. You need to take it three times a day. It is recommended to add 40 drops to fresh milk and drink. After completing this course, within two months you will completely get rid of dysbiosis and other intestinal problems.
Causes and symptoms of dysbiosis
Common causes of dysbiosis include:
- Violation of the dosage and duration of taking antibacterial agents.
- Gastrointestinal pathology (gastritis, cholelithiasis, pancreatitis).
- Surgical intervention on the abdominal organs.
- Consumption of large quantities of flour, spicy, fatty foods.
- Reduced immunity.
- A history of bad habits (drinking alcohol, nicotine).
- Parasitic diseases.
Symptoms of dysbiosis:
- frequent loose bowel movements or persistent constipation;
- increased gas formation;
- pain in the abdominal area;
- dyspeptic syndrome (nausea, vomiting);
- Dysbacteriosis causes vitamin deficiency. The patient develops unmotivated irritability, decreased performance, general weakness, and seizures in the corners of the mouth. The skin becomes dry and cracks. Hair falls out, nails split;
- allergic reactions in the form of dermatitis, eczema.
Potentilla decoction
The decoction has proven its effectiveness. The quick results and absence of side effects are emphasized by numerous reviews. Treatment of dysbiosis with folk remedies can also be suitable for busy people, because it does not require a lot of free time. Potentilla will also help with other intestinal disorders, so it is recommended to always keep it on hand.
To prepare the decoction, take a tablespoon of bloodroot and pour 250 g of boiling water over it. Boil and then cool. Let it brew for 12 hours, after which you can begin treatment. You need to drink the decoction three times a day, 100 ml. Don't forget to consult with a specialist first.
Treating dysbacteriosis with cinquefoil
Cinquefoil copes with even the most complex forms of dysbiosis. The main task is to eliminate diarrhea, which is what the herb does.
1 tablespoon of cinquefoil is poured into a glass of boiling water. Boil for 15 minutes and soak overnight, after which the infusion can be drunk. 1/3 cup - 3 servings every day - and dysbiosis will leave your body.
Sour berries, rose hips and foods with vitamin C limit the field of action of bacteria, especially those rotting in the intestines.
Medicinal herbs include:
- black currants, strawberries and raspberries;
- lemon balm, mint leaves, yarrow and St. John's wort;
- pharmaceutical chamomile, buckthorn and eucalyptus.
Infusions of medicinal herbs for dysbiosis
- 1. First collection - when suffering from flatulence
5 tablespoons of eucalyptus, 3 tablespoons of mint, 1 tablespoon of dill - mix the mixture with a liter container of boiling water. After keeping the drink for 2 hours, strain to remove excess branches.
Half an hour before meals, drink half a glass. An hour after eating, repeat the procedure. Drink the infusion every day for 3 weeks. If the effect is insufficient, repeat the course a week later.
- 2. Second collection – for stomach and intestinal pain
4 teaspoons of St. John's wort, lemon balm and chamomile, 3 tablespoons of flax - mix the mixture with 2 cups of boiling water. After the infusion has cooled, you can start taking it - drink half a glass before meals.
The course lasts 2 weeks, and if the effect is insufficient, you can repeat it after a week.
- 3. Third collection - for constipation
1 teaspoon of senna is evaporated in half a glass of boiling water. The mixture, left for 2 hours, is thoroughly stirred and consumed before bedtime.
Buckthorn has a mild effect, but it requires tincture in a thermos. 1 tablespoon of bark is mixed with boiling water and infused for an hour. The strained solution can be drunk at night and in the morning. This will take just one glass of warm infusion.
- 4. Fourth collection – against symptoms of diarrhea
First brewing method: 1 tablespoon of bird cherry is mixed in a glass of boiling water. You will need to drink several servings per day.
Second brewing method: the partitions from the walnut shells are filled with 1 glass of vodka. The infusion period for this mass is at least 14 days. The resulting liquid is not filtered, but taken internally. The tincture can be diluted with alcohol.
Fresh garlic for dinner
Not only bloodroot, but also fresh garlic is very beneficial for the intestines. Herbalists call this vegetable the most effective way. In order for it to be absorbed and bring maximum benefit, you need to eat garlic without bread.
One clove of garlic should be eaten about an hour before meals in the evening. Don't worry about the smell. Just remove the green center from the clove and eat in peace. Of course, if you work closely with people, morning meetings can be complicated by concerns about fresh breath. But it can be corrected using a special spray. They are sold in every pharmacy, and the choice today is huge.
Aloe tincture
This plant is known for its healing properties. And of course, treatment of intestinal dysbiosis with folk remedies could not do without it. To prepare it you will need an adult plant, preferably over 5 years old. Collect 100 g of leaves and grind with a meat grinder. Place in a glass jar and add a glass of sugar. After this, let it brew for 3 hours. Next, pour the mixture with a glass of red wine and leave for another day. It turns out to be a very effective and tasty medicine. In order to get maximum effect, it is recommended to take a tablespoon three times a day. The product has a general restorative effect on the body.
Other medicines
For intestinal dysbiosis, traditional medicine therapy may include the use of such remedies as licorice root, buckthorn bark, coriander, dill, honey, propolis and much more. It is very important to process them correctly and prepare medicines in compliance with special traditional technologies. Components for medicines can be crushed by passing through a meat grinder (for example, walnuts, garlic, pumpkin seeds, etc.), processed in a coffee grinder, or brewed whole.
Pumpkin seeds not only eliminate dysbiosis, but also effectively destroy intestinal parasites. Honey is a natural antioxidant, which not only has a beneficial effect on digestive processes, but also strengthens the immune system, rejuvenates the skin, and fights diseases of the reproductive organs. Taking into account all this data, we can conclude that treating dysbiosis with traditional medicines is not only pleasant, but also beneficial for the body as a whole.
Herbal infusion
Traditional medicine treats with the gifts of nature, that is, herbs. Dysbacteriosis was no exception. Above we have already discussed the use of cinquefoil decoction. But experts recommend a more effective complex infusion, which better helps to cope with the causes that gave rise to it. Consequently, the problem will go away faster and, most likely, will not appear again.
To prepare the decoction you will need to take the following herbs:
- Chamomile - 2 parts.
- St. John's wort - 1 part.
- Burdock - 1 part.
- Peppermint and plantain - 2 parts each.
Mix all the herbs in one jar. This mixture will last for quite a long time. You will need to take one tablespoon per 500 ml of boiling water. Fill the grass and cover it thoroughly. You can take the decoction 100 ml three times a day. Only St. John's wort may be a contraindication for some people, so it is better to consult a doctor.
Pickled beets are an excellent helper in the fight against dysbiosis
If you begin to notice that after eating you are experiencing flatulence, nausea, diarrhea or constipation, then you need to start taking eucalyptus infusion.
You will need three tablespoons of dry eucalyptus leaves, which need to be filled with 500 ml of boiling water. Cover the infusion with a lid and let stand until it cools completely.
Then filter the infusion through cheesecloth and take ¼ cup for fourteen days three times a day. Once every seven days you need to do a cleansing enema with this infusion. Next, you need to eat garlic for another two weeks.
But I would like to immediately clarify this point: at the beginning of treatment, the unpleasant sensations may intensify, but this is not a reason to stop treatment.
If you have intestinal problems, you can treat them with pickled beets, because it perfectly normalizes the microflora. The beets need to be washed well and boiled until tender, after which they are peeled and cut into slices.
Place the beets in the prepared jar and fill with marinade.
For a kilogram of beets we make the following marinade: a liter of water, a couple of tablespoons of apple cider vinegar, half a tablespoon of sugar, 10 black peppercorns, a teaspoon of salt, a little cloves and a couple of bay leaves.
All ingredients are mixed, the marinade is brought to a boil, after which it is poured over the beets in the jar. It is best to take this snack before a meal.
Use of prebiotics
All these means help normalize the intestinal microflora, that is, create conditions for beneficial bacteria to settle there again. In order to speed up this process, ready-made colonies grown in laboratory conditions are used. Not all of them will take root in the intestines; some will die in the gastric juice, but still the colonization process will proceed faster. Therefore, after a course of treatment with the chosen remedy, it is a good idea to drink one of the pharmaceutical preparations or live kefir from the dairy kitchen. Of course, you will need to take the drug for at least 10 days to notice the result.
Rules for treatment at home
Cure dysbiosis is not easy. The main condition is not to trigger a pathological condition. Getting rid of harmful microorganisms and normalizing the intestinal microflora should occur gradually and comprehensively. Mild cases are treated with herbal medicine, a rational diet and a healthy lifestyle. Home therapy rules:
- Do not increase the dose or frequency of taking herbal tinctures and decoctions.
- Rule out the presence of allergic reactions to one or another component. If a rash appears, you should stop taking the herbal remedy.
- Be sure to exclude alcoholic beverages, fatty meats, baked goods, and pasta from your diet. Smoked meats and sausage are not suitable for treating the disease. Drinks containing caffeine will worsen the pathological situation. To avoid causing trouble, refrain from drinking coffee for an extended period of time.
- For people who have bad habits, they need to change their lifestyle. Nicotine kills beneficial intestinal bacteria.
- Don't forget to take probiotics, which normalize the balance of bacterial microflora. If long-term, uncontrolled use of antibacterial drugs has contributed to the occurrence of dysbiosis, be sure to include Enterozermina, Linex, Yogurt or Biogay capsules in your therapy.
Intestinal dysbiosis occurs against the background of chronic diseases and antibiotic use. Not every person pays attention to the first symptoms of the disease and tries to blame it on stress or poor nutrition. The disease progresses and leads to dehydration or secondary inflammation.
