Question
What should I do if my two-month-old baby has diarrhea with thin, sticky stools?
Answer
You can try umbilical therapy or acupoint plaster therapy. Umbilical therapy instructions: Use 80 grams of Sichuan pepper, 70 grams of Cangzhu, 30 grams each of Cinnamon, Kufan, and 20 grams of white pepper. Grind into a fine powder, take 5 to 7 grams, mix with aged vinegar to form a paste, apply it to the navel, secure with a bandage, and change daily. A course consists of 5 treatments. This method has an effectiveness rate of 98.8% for simple diarrhea. Acupoint plaster therapy: Use 15 grams each of Cangzhu and Sichuan pepper, 3 grams of Clove, and 1 gram of black pepper. Grind into a fine powder, mix with sesame oil, and apply to the Shenque point. Change the plaster daily.
