Food Poisoning (Mild)

Stomach upset, nausea, loose motions after a bad meal. This page gathers gentle, traditional perspectives on what your body may be signaling and how everyday rhythms can support balance — not a diagnosis or replacement for professional care.

Ayurveda's first step is to rest the gut (langhana). Skip solid food for 6–12 hours and sip warm water boiled with ginger, ajwain, and a few mint leaves. Once nausea settles, switch to thin moong-dal khichdi or rice congee with rock salt. ORS or coconut water with a pinch of salt and sugar prevents dehydration. Avoid milk, fruit, raw salads, and heavy food for 2–3 days.

• Frequently take anti-diarrheals unless prescribed
• Regular exposure to milk, fruit, raw salads and heavy food for 2–3 days
• Regular alcohol or caffeine

• Stomach upset, nausea, loose motions after a bad meal.
• Skip solid food for 6–12 hours; sip warm water boiled with ginger, ajwain and mint.
• ORS or coconut water with a pinch of salt and sugar in small sips.

These are gentle observations rooted in traditional wisdom — your body may be asking for slower meals, more rest, or a small change of rhythm.

• Rest the gut completely first
• Small frequent sips of fluid
• Reintroduce bland warm food gradually
