Food Poisoning Herbal Cure

The medical term for food poisoning is acute gastroenteritis. It is caused when you eat a food or drink that has gone bad, or that you are allergic to. The symptoms include nausea, diarrhea and cramps. The loss of fluids can also leave you feeling very weak. As soon as you begin having any of the above symptoms, you will want to start taking a few herbs to get better.

  1. Apple Cider Vinegar

    • Apple cider vinegar is an excellent herbal cure for food poisoning because it does two things. First, it works to relieve you of your nausea so that you don't feel as sick. Second, it has the ability to kill viruses that might be in your stomach causing you to be sick. You need to purchase a pasteurized apple cider vinegar and then take two tablespoons of it. Brush your teeth after you take it because it can destroy the enamel on your teeth.

    Ginger Root

    • Ginger has antiseptic properties and works well against food poisoning. It also has the ability to calm your stomach so that you no longer vomit or feel nauseated. If you have any gas as a result of the food poisoning, the ginger will get rid of it. You can purchase a set of ginger root capsules and take two every three to four hours, or you can purchase a ginger root based soda and sip it. Once you have stopped vomiting you can begin to drink it as you normally would.

    Basil Mixture

    • Place three tablespoons of plain yogurt in a small bowl. Add one tablespoon of chopped basil leaves, 1/4 teaspoon of sea salt, and one shake of black pepper. Mix these ingredients together and eat. Do this again three more times in the day. Continue daily until you are totally cured of your food poisoning. This basil mixture works because basil naturally attacks the bacteria in your body. It will also cure any cramps or gas associated with the food poisoning.
