Food poisoning or foodborne illness is an infection, inflammation, or toxicity of the digestive tract mainly caused by eating contaminated food or/and drinking water. All of us have suffered from food poisoning at some point in our life. You may have had that mouthwatering street food from the roadside stall, only to get a severe stomach ache and diarrhea a couple of days later. Chances are, its food poisoning you’re suffering from. 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. Ginger: It adds flavour to your dishes, but it is also an excellent home remedy for curing almost all types of digestive problems.

1. Take a tablespoon of honey with a few drops of ginger juice to reduce inflammation and pain.
2. 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.
3. Basil: Basil is another excellent home remedy, curing 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.
4. Banan: 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 an apple, or whip up a quick banana shake.
5. Apples: Apples are one of nature’s best natural remedies, and they are very 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 stomachache.
6. Lemon: The acidity of 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 any medicine, or add lemon to your tea.
7. Activated charcoal Activated charcoal absorbs all the unwanted gasses and substances that may be harmful to the delicate lining of the stomach, thereby aiding a speedy recovery.
8. Water: It is very important to keep yourself fully hydrated during the period of food poisoning, as your body tends to lose more water through diarrhea. Also, keeping your water content high, rapidly flushes out the toxins and bacteria, which enhances recovery.
9. Apple cider vinegar: Being acidic in nature, vinegar, specifically apple cider vinegar, soothes the gastrointestinal lining. It also makes the environment in the stomach inhospitable for the bacteria to breed in, which helps speed up the recovery.
10. 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.
