| Details |
For treatment of Diarrhea in goats, Narvat Bhai grinds the bark of guava (Psidium guajava) and adds a pinch of alum and 100 ml of edible oil to it. He strains the mixture and gives it to the animals every three hours.
The efficacy of Psidium guajava in controlling pathogenic bacteria (Salmonella virchow, Shigella flexneri and Enteropathogenic E. coli) and reducing gastrointestinal motility is well studied (Lin, J.; Puckree, T.; Mvelase, T. P. (2002): Anti-Diarrhoeal Evaluation of Some Medicinal Plants Used By Zulu Traditional Healers, Journal of Ethnopahrmacol, 79: 53-56). |
