TEMPERING FOOD POISONING (from Ayurveda, Greek & Chinese Medicine)

Food poisoning is the illness caused by ingesting food or water contaminated with harmful pathogens such as bacteria, viruses, or parasites. Salmonella and E. coli are examples of bacteria that commonly cause food poisoning. Symptoms include abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. Symptoms can be either mild or severe, and usually start within 2-6 hours of ingesting the contaminated substance.

In most cases, it is important to allow your body to expel the pathogen through vomiting or diarrhea. However, if symptoms persists for more than 24-48 hours, it is recommended to see your doctor. Limiting intake of foods to just fluids will help ease symptoms and soothe a sensitive GI tract.

Cooling coconut water helps calm an irritated and inflamed digestive tract and restore electrolyte levels. Fresh ginger and chamomile tea can be used to reduce sensations of nausea. Once vomiting and diarrhea have stopped, a light meal of applesauce or Pitta pacifying kitchari will ease your stomach back into eating solid food again. If the food is still in your stomach, stimulate vomiting if possible to eject the material. An enema may also be useful, but only before or after all vomiting and diarrhea has stopped. To prevent food poisoning, ensure good hygiene standards when preparing food to reduce contamination.

HOW TO ADDRESS ISSUES IN STAGE OF DISEASE #1

FOOD POISONING IS IN STAGE OF DISEASE #1 - AFFECTING DIGESTION

If you have symptoms in this category, your body is sending you a warning sign. Since digestion is so metabolically intensive and sensitive to stress and emotions, the earliest warning signs of imbalance usually appear in the digestive tract first. You may have gas and bloating, for example, or acid reflux. Ayurveda recommends paying careful, close attention to warning signs. They indicate that an imbalance is starting to accumulate. Correct these warning signs before they accumulate further and weaken your body's resistance. This is usually accomplished by removing diet and lifestyle habits that aggravate your imbalanced doshas and biocharacteristics. (See all disease stages on JB)
