ANTI DIARRHEA PROPERTY OF SOURSOP

  Diarrhea is a gastrointestinal disorder caused by bacterial infection. It is characterised by remarkable pain in the abdominal region with watery stools and frequent bowel movements. Antibiotics used as Antidirrhea drugs lose their effectiveness, as bacteria become resistant to the antibiotics. Some traditional plants are widely used as antidiarrheals. Fruit and other plant parts of Soursop - Annona muricata show antidiarrheal activity by inhibiting intestinal motility and secretions that cause diarrhea. F lavonoids, triterpenoids, and saponins of Soursop (Annona  muricata)  play important role in its antidiarrhea activity.
