Diarrhea
Diarrhea is often our body's best defense to rid itself of unwanted or toxic material. Stress or anxiety can be another cause of this symptom. To soothe that reaction, use slippery elm and bayberry, singly or in combination.

Bilberry fruit has long been used in Germany to treat diarrhea. Your local health food store should have a variety of herbal products containing bilberry fruit.

Diarrhea shouldn't be left untreated. Fluid loss can quickly lead to dehydration. Sip water and diluted juices with a pinch of salt to stay well hydrated. Add 1/8-teaspoon cinnamon and 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper to 2 cups boiling water. Simmer for 20 minutes. Take 2 tablespoons of the cooled liquid every hour for relief.

Note: bilberry leaves have toxic effects and should not be used.
