All of us have suffered from food poisoning at some point in life. Here are few home remedies to tackle an upset tummy.
You may have had those mouth-watering Frankie’s from the roadside stall, or gobbled down a plateful of golguppas in a go, only to find severe stomach ache and diarrhoea within a couple of days. It’s probably food poisoning you’re suffering from and you’ve caught it at least once in your life, from the deceptively harmless looking contaminated foods.
With symptoms ranging from mild to severe abdominal cramps, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, headache, dizziness and dehydration, food poisoning is a condition not to be ignored. Listed below are a few effective home remedies to cure food poisoning, right from grandma’s own medicine chest.
1. Tea with moti elaichi can take care of a bad stomach.
2. The rind of the pomegranate fruit (as well the bark of the pomegranate tree) is an old and well-known remedy used for treating diarrhoea.
3. Brown sugar is a well-known remedy for food poisoning. Usually a bad stomach causes weakness; give the patient 4 teaspoons of sugar to renew his energy.
4. Aloe vera juice is good for treating an upset stomach. 60 grams of aloe vera juice, taken three times a day, can have you feeling good as new the next morning.
5. Curd (or yogurt) is full of mircro-organisms that are beneficial for the stomach and can combat the effect of harmful bacteria that causes food poisoning.
6. The acidic properties in lime kills bacteria, and makes it a great natural remedy for food poisoning. 3-4 glasses of lime juice over the course of the day will ensure you're back to normal the next morning.
7. Mint or pudina is very helpful in treating food poisoning. Mint tea or a paste of pudina leaves will help relieve stomach trouble. Combining it with curd is doubly effective since it uses the beneficial properties of curd as well
8. Ginger: It adds flavour to your dishes, but is also an excellent home remedy for curing almost all types of digestive problems. Take a tablespoon of honey with a few drops of ginger juice to reduce inflammation and pain.
9. Cumin: Cumin or jeera seeds are a good way to soothe the inflammation in your stomach, reduce the tenderness and aid healing. Crush a tablespoon of cumin seeds and add it to your clear soup.
10. Basil: Basil is another excellent home remedy to cure infections of both – the stomach and the throat. Strain the juice of a few basil leaves and add it to a tablespoon of honey. It’s bound to show positive results within a couple of hours.
11. Bananas: Bananas are a rich source of potassium. They aid recovery and reduce the effects of food poisoning to an impressive level. Mash a couple of bananas and apple, or whip up a quick banana shake.
12. Apples: Apples are as effective against food poisoning as they reduce heartburn and acid reflux. Apples are known to have enzymes that inhibit the growth of the bacteria that cause diarrhea and stomach ache.
13. Lemon: The acidity of the lemon juice kills most of the bacteria that cause food poisoning. Squeeze the juice of a lemon and add a pinch of sugar to it. Drink it as you would take any medicine, or you can even add lemon to your tea.
14. Activated charcoal: Activated charcoal absorbs all the unwanted gases and substances that may be harmful to the delicate lining of the stomach, thereby aiding speedy recovery.
15. Water: It is very important to keep yourself fully hydrated during the period of food poising, as your body tends to lose more water through diarrhea. Also, keeping up your water content, rapidly flushes out the toxins and bacteria, which enhances your recovery.
16. Apple cider vinegar: Being alkaline in nature, vinegar, specifically apple cider vinegar soothes the gastro-intestinal lining. Also, it makes the environment of the stomach inhospitable for the bacteria to breed in, which helps speed up the recovery.
17. Peppermint tea: It’s not just aromatherapy. Peppermint oil is known to have a soothing effect, which is extremely beneficial for people suffering from stomach spasms due to food poisoning. Add a few drops to your tea; your cramps will vanish in a couple of hours.
