Every place has its own folk remedies for treating minor illnesses. When eating improperly or suffering from cold stomach and diarrhea, we all like to use guava leaves to stop diarrhea. Pick some young guava leaves and boil the juice with some brown sugar. Drinking it while it is hot is very effective to stop diarrhea. Lazy people can also pick a handful of young guava leaves and put them in their mouths to chew. After chewing the juice, drink slightly hot water and swallow it. However, this is too bitter and cannot be swallowed by people who are not suffering from hardships. Baidu: Guava leaves contain about 0.3% volatile oil. The volatile oil contains eugenol, hexenol, hexanal, benzoate, β-phenylethyl acetate, methyl cinnamate, eugenol, terpinene, and rosin alcohol. The leaves also contain quercetin, guava glycoside, ursolic acid, maslinic acid, etc.; the stems, leaves, bark, and fruits can all be used as medicine.
