ORS - Oral rehydration solution

Use: the name is pretty self explanatory; to treat dehydration


I'm sure you guys must have used this when you get diarrhoea. It comes in a sachet. You dissolve it into a glass of water.



Basically, when you pass watery stool or sweat excessively, you not only lose water content but electrolytes as well. The consequences of dehydration may be mild to severe, depending on the amount of fluid loss. These include:

1. muscle cramps
2. nausea and vomiting
3. lightheadedness (dizzy)
4. heart palpitations (irregular heart beats)
5. kidney failure
6. shock
7. coma
8. death

The treatment of dehydration isn't just consuming plain water. You need to replenish the lost electrolytes as well. Following are the simple methods of rehydrating yr body:

1. ORS
2. Coconut juice
3. Gatorade
4. Home made ORS

Home made ORS

• 1 litre of boiled water
• 8 teaspoons of sugar
• 1 or 1/2 teaspoon of salt

Just mix them together and it's ready to be consumed.

It is simple and could be life saving during emergency cases.
