Are Oregano And Lemon Oils Effective In The Treatment Of Diarrhea?

it has been suggested by my pcp to use oregano oil and lemon oil to treat diarrhea caused by a reaction to clindamycin antibiotic. I have been tested for everything possible via stool samples and have been found not to have any parasites, c diff, e coli, etc etc. I am finding no documentation that oregano oil or lemon oil taken medicinally can do anything for diarrhea...is this true?

Hello,

If you have cleared that diarrhea is not due to infection, or any other reason that means it's functional diarrhea. Best option to treat noninfective diarrhea is to drink oral rehydration solution (ORS Salt solution - WHO approved).

It's available in sachets for one liter as well as for 250 ml. You have to just mix the ORS sachet in the above-mentioned quantity of preboiled water to make a solution. Consume it in place of water. Beside take coffee, banana or pomegranate to reduce the frequency of diarrhea.


Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Hiren Hirpara
