In the scorching heat of the summer, baby diarrhea becomes a difficult problem for parents. Drinking western medicine after diarrhea can cause harm to the baby's digestive system, and ignoring it for a long time can also harm the baby's health. Tianpengcao, an ancient remedy, can treat baby diarrhea and indirectly protect the baby from the side effects of medication. Let's take a look!
Tianpengcao is a traditional Chinese herb that is found in Northeast, East, Central, Southwest, Shaanxi, Gansu, Qinghai, and other regions. It is the whole herb of the plant Stellaria uliginosa Murr. [S. alsine Grimm.] from the Caryophyllaceae family. It has the effects of dispelling wind and dampness, promoting blood circulation and reducing swelling, and detoxifying and stopping bleeding. It is commonly used to treat colds, diarrhea, dysentery, rheumatism, injuries, fractures, abscesses, hemorrhoids, snake bites, vomiting blood, bleeding, and external bleeding.
The "Hunan Pharmacopoeia" records the use of Tianpengcao for treating infantile diarrhea. The recommended dosage is 30g of Tianpengcao and 60g of Machixian, boiled in water and taken orally.
In addition, Tianpengcao has other uses in treating various diseases:
1. According to the "Fujian Folk Herbal Medicine," Tianpengcao can treat colds: 60g of Tianpengcao and 15g of brown sugar, boiled in water and taken twice a day to induce slight sweating.
2. According to the "Fujian Folk Herbal Medicine," Tianpengcao can be used to treat cold dysentery: 60g of Tianpengcao, boiled in water and taken twice a day.
3. According to the "Gangmu Shi Yi," Tianpengcao can treat hemorrhoids: grind the snow lotus flower into powder, mix with sesame oil for external application one to two times, and the hemorrhoids will shrink and disappear.
4. In addition, Tianpengcao can also be used to treat injuries, boils, snake bites, etc.
Although the ancient recipe records that Tianpengcao can be used to treat baby diarrhea, its effectiveness is not clear. Using this remedy still carries certain risks. Parents should use this method under the guidance of a doctor, and hope that your baby recovers soon!
