Hi fam...
I've got 8 Home Remedies for Intestinal & Stomach Infection to share with you.

One of the best remedies for treatment of an intestinal infection is a homemade saline solution made with water, sugar and salt.

This mixture helps to replenish minerals and water lost from diarrhea, which is a common symptom of an intestinal infection.

Although this homemade saline solution may not fully relieve symptoms, it can help to prevent dehydration to ensure that the body has all the minerals it needs to fight off the micro-organisms causing the infection.
This can result in faster recovery.

Home remedies can be used to relieve mild symptoms, however if you do not notice any improvement within 2 days, you should see a doctor for assessment, as further treatment may be necessary.

*8 ways to naturally relieve symptoms of a stomach or intestinal infection include*

1. Ginger root water
