Diareena M. Tablet

Ayurvedic tablets for diarrhoea and dysentery

Cramps, urgency, mucus — dysentery wears you out. Diareena M helps settle it.

100 Tab: ₹75

Diareena M Tablets bring together Ayurveda's strongest stool-binding (Sangrahi) herbs — Kutaj, Lodhra, Dhataki, bael pulp, Mochras and catechu — with sal resin, white clay, Shankh bhasma and Swarna gairik, processed in Nagarmotha, mint and black cardamom.

The booklet says they act on the small and large intestine and lists them for diarrhoea, griping, mucus or blood in the stool, frothy stools, and acute and chronic dysentery.

Used for

• Diarrhoea (Atisara)
• Acute & chronic dysentery (Pravahika)
• Mucus in stools & griping

Why dysentery drags on

In dysentery the lining of the large bowel is inflamed — often by bacteria or amoebae — so stools come small, frequent and painful, with mucus and sometimes blood. Ongoing irritation keeps the gut over-active, and fluid and salts are lost.

Ayurveda calls this Pravahika: Vata, obstructed by Ama and Kapha in the colon, forces repeated straining. Treatment digests the Ama, binds and soothes the inflamed lining with astringents (Sangrahi) and calms Vata.

Diareena M works in 3 ways

• Antidysenteric & Antimicrobial (Atisaraghna) — Kutaj's conessine is antiamoebic and antibacterial, and catechu and bael are antimicrobial in experimental studies.
• Astringent & Stool-binding (Sangrahi) — Tannins from Lodhra, Dhataki, catechu and Mochras tighten the inflamed lining, while white clay adsorbs fluid and irritants; Mochras also protected the stomach lining in a rat study.
• Antispasmodic (Shoolaprashamana) — Kutaj relaxes gut smooth muscle in laboratory studies, and the Nagarmotha, mint and cardamom used in processing ease cramps.

Key ingredients

• Kutaj (Kurchi) (Holarrhena antidysenterica, stem bark) — 75 mg. Ayurveda's foremost herb for diarrhoea and dysentery (Atisara, Pravahika). Its steroidal alkaloids, chiefly conessine, are antiamoebic and antibacterial; in laboratory studies the bark extract relaxed gut smooth muscle by calcium-channel blockade.
• Lodhra (Symplocos racemosa, stem bark) — 75 mg. A bark Ayurveda uses for heavy periods, leucorrhoea, loose stools and the skin. Its tannins, flavonoids and loturine alkaloids are astringent, anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial in experimental studies.
• Dhataki (Dhai flowers) (Woodfordia fruticosa, flower) — 50 mg. The classical starter for Asava-Arishtas. Its flowers carry alcohol-producing yeasts (including Saccharomyces cerevisiae) and an invertase enzyme that splits sugar into fermentable glucose and fructose, raising the alcohol yield.
• Bilva (Bael) (Aegle marmelos, fruit pulp) — 100 mg. Unripe bael fruit is Ayurveda's classic food-medicine for loose stools and dysentery. Rich in tannins, mucilage and coumarins such as marmelosin, it is antidiarrhoeal, antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory in experimental studies.
• Mochras (Semal gum) (Bombax ceiba, gum) — 50 mg. The astringent gum of the silk-cotton tree, used in Ayurveda for diarrhoea, dysentery and bleeding. Its tannins and mucilage bind and soothe; the gum reduced gastric acidity and ulceration in a rat study, though clinical research is lacking.
• Katha (Catechu) (Acacia catechu, heartwood extract) — 30 mg. The concentrated heartwood extract of the khair tree, rich in catechins and epicatechin. Strongly astringent, it is antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial in experimental studies; Ayurveda uses it for diarrhoea, the mouth and skin disease.
• Gile safed (white clay) — 100 mg. Kaolin, a fine white clay, adsorbs fluid and irritants in the gut and was long a standard ingredient of antidiarrhoeal mixtures.
• Kajjali (black mercuric sulphide) — 10 mg. Purified mercury rubbed with purified sulphur into black mercuric sulphide — the base of many Rasa-shastra medicines. Mercuric sulphide is poorly absorbed, but mercury toxicity has been reported, so dose and duration matter.
