The concept of "dysbiosis" is familiar to everyone today, starting with children and ending with their relatives. He is treated from infancy, attributing all problems with the gastrointestinal tract to this ailment. The child does not sleep well, he suffers from colic, pain, frustration or constipation - dysbiosis is to blame. District pediatricians prescribe very expensive drugs, and parents with a sigh of relief go to the pharmacy. After all, it is clear that now the child will feel better. Is it possible to treat dysbiosis with folk remedies? Let's get it together.
Foreword
Surprisingly, not a single doctor diagnoses such a disease in Europe. In our country, this phenomenon can be met all the time. Without even talking about pediatric practice, drugs for the treatment of dysbiosis are also prescribed to adults, as one of the means in the treatment regimen. Sometimes this decision is justified, but sometimes a medicine is prescribed just in case, because it does not harm. Maybe then not to spend a lot of money on auxiliary drugs, but to replace them with folk remedies? Indeed, treatment of dysbiosis can be carried out without pharmacy drugs. This was successfully practiced by doctors and healers; one can recall their practice today.
Causes of the development of the disease
First of all, you need to find out this question. Treatment of dysbacteriosis with folk remedies or special preparations will not be effective unless you first understand what caused the death of beneficial bacteria. Dysbacteriosis is nothing but the substitution of pathogenic beneficial microflora. Then, instead of normal digestion and absorption of nutrients, a failure occurs, and the person feels discomfort.
A healthy person will not be bothered. More than a kilogram of beneficial bacteria lives in the human intestines. Their death is the result of serious disorders in the body. The reasons may be as follows:
- Long-term use of antibiotics, most often uncontrolled. That is, a person decides to improve his condition at the expense of these medicines and feels imaginary relief. After the course, inevitable deterioration follows, which they are trying to cure with a new dose of stronger drugs.
- Strong intestinal infection.
- Digestive problems. It can be pancreatitis and cholecystitis, ulcers and enterocolitis.
- Operations on the stomach and intestines.
- Improper nutrition.
- Decreased immunity.
Symptoms and signs
Usually, the treatment of dysbiosis with folk remedies is effective only with its mild degree. Therefore, you still have to consult a doctor. He must assess the condition, conduct an examination and initial diagnosis, as well as a history. Symptoms depend on the cause and may manifest in different ways. Usually this:
- discomfort in the abdomen;
- increased gas formation;
- abdominal pain;
- any changes in stool.
Treatment of dysbiosis
First of all, a diagnosis should be made. The treatment itself should be comprehensive and solve several problems at the same time. This is the restoration of a normal state and the elimination of alien flora in the small intestine. In addition, it is required 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 preparations are used. In addition, the treatment of dysbiosis in adults with folk remedies is effective. Many combine conservative therapy with home methods.
Severe forms of dysbiosis
The more complex the case, the greater the likelihood that drug administration will be required. In this case, in addition to the prescribed treatment, the doctor should advise eating necessarily fully and stably. If treatment with prebiotics does not help, then you need to enter homeopathy or antibiotics. The majority receives such recommendations in the third stage of dysbiosis, that is, in the most severe.
Yeast use
Treatment of dysbiosis in adults with folk remedies involves the restoration of normal microflora, in which a colony of beneficial bacteria will adequately grow and recover. A simple mash, which you can cook at home yourself, helps well in this. You should heat 500 g of water over a fire, then dissolve in it a tablespoon of sugar and the same amount of honey. 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 receptions, and then a break for at least a month.
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. And in this way the symptoms go much better. Treatment of intestinal dysbiosis with folk remedies involves the use of only a natural product with live bacteria, fresh and passed a bacterial test. Such kefir is very difficult to find in the store, so it is best to purchase it in a dairy kitchen. If you don’t have one in the city, then buy a special sourdough from the pharmacy and prepare the 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 bedtime. For kids, 50-80 g of "live" kefir is enough. It is heated in a water bath, and then injected into the rectum in the form of an enema. After this, you need to try to quickly put the baby to sleep. The secret to this treatment is very simple. Kefir, once in the intestine, works effectively to restore natural balance. Enema must be done at night.
Yogurt with a secret

This will require a liter of fresh milk. Boil it and cool. After that, you need to ferment it with slices of dry black bread. After a day, you must repeat the procedure, but now rub each cracker with garlic. Wait until they are completely wet. You need to store yogurt in the refrigerator and drink 100 g every day until you feel relief. If you drink it regularly, the intestines will restore normal functioning.
Jerusalem artichoke on guard of health
The attitude to the earthen pear is ambiguous. Some value root vegetables by weight of gold, while others consider them a useless weed. But 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 must be boiled until the earthen pear is ready for use. After this, drain the liquid, add to it two tablespoons of butter and a spoonful of flour. Cook until thickened. It turns out a white sauce, which you need to fill in the root crops and mix. It turns out a very tasty dish, which is able to cure the cause of dysbiosis. A useful microflora will breed itself.
Propolis tincture
This is another way to treat the symptoms of dysbiosis with folk remedies. To cook it yourself, you need to take 10 g of propolis and grind it thoroughly. Add a liter of cold water and let stand. Propolis will soon fall to the bottom, and all impurities will float. Now you can drain the water and add 100 ml of pure alcohol.
It remains to remove the tincture in a dark place and leave for a week. Do not 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. Having completed this course, within two months you will completely get rid of dysbiosis and other intestinal problems.
Potentilla decoction
The broth has proven effective. Numerous reviews emphasize the quick result and the absence of side effects. Treatment of dysbiosis with folk remedies may be suitable for busy people, because it does not require a lot of free time. The cinquefoil will also help with other intestinal disorders, so it is recommended that you always keep it at hand.
To prepare the broth, take a tablespoon of cinquefoil and pour 250 g of boiling water over it. Boil, then cool. Let her brew for 12 hours, after which you can begin treatment. You need to drink a decoction three times a day, 100 ml each. Do not forget to consult with a specialist beforehand.
Fresh garlic for dinner
Not only potentilla, but also fresh garlic is very useful for the intestines. The most effective way phytotherapists call this particular vegetable. In order for it to be absorbed and bring maximum benefit, it is required to eat garlic without bread.
One clove of garlic should be eaten about an hour before meals in the evening. Do not worry about the smell. Just remove its green center from the clove and eat calmly. Of course, if you work closely with people, then morning meetings can be complicated by anxiety about the freshness of your breath. But it can be adjusted using a special spray. They are sold in every pharmacy, and the choice is huge today.
Aloe tincture
This plant is known for its healing properties. And of course, the treatment of intestinal dysbiosis with folk remedies could not do without it. To prepare it, you will need an adult plant, preferably older than 5 years. Collect 100 g of leaves and grind using a meat grinder. Fold in a glass jar and add a glass of sugar. After that, let it brew for 3 hours. Then fill the mixture with a glass of red wine and leave for another day. It turns out a very effective and tasty medicine. In order to get the maximum effect, it is recommended to take three times a day for a tablespoon. The tool has a general restorative effect on the body.
Herbal infusion
Traditional medicine treats with the gifts of nature, that is, with herbs. Dysbacteriosis was no exception. Above, we have already considered the use of a potentilla decoction. But experts recommend a more effective complex infusion, which helps to better cope with the causes that gave rise to it. Therefore, the problem will go away faster and, most likely, will not declare itself more.
To prepare the broth, you will need to take the following herbs:
- Chamomile pharmacy - 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 quite a long time. You will need to take one tablespoon per 500 ml of boiling water. Fill the grass and wrap it carefully. You can take a decoction of 100 ml three times a day. Contraindication for some people can only be St. John's wort, so it is better to consult a doctor.
Use of prebiotics
All these tools allow you to normalize the intestinal microflora, that is, create the conditions for beneficial bacteria to settle there again. In order to accelerate this process, ready-made colonies grown in laboratory conditions are used. Not all of them will take root in the intestine, some will die in the gastric juice, but still the process of settlement will be faster. Therefore, after a course of treatment with the chosen remedy, it is not bad to drink one of the pharmacy preparations or live kefir from the dairy cuisine. Of course, you will need to drink the drug for at least 10 days in order to notice the result.
Instead of a conclusion
Treatment of dysbiosis is possible at home. Remember that any therapy requires consultation with your doctor. Can you say for sure that the discomfort you are experiencing is not the result of peptic ulcer or pancreatitis? In both cases, dysbiosis is possible, but it is not necessary to treat it, but the cause of the occurrence. Therefore, you first need to undergo an examination and listen to the doctor’s recommendations. After that, we can talk about choosing a method of treatment. In some cases, folk remedies are able to replace drugs. Sometimes they can be taken in parallel with the main treatment.
