Food Poisoning

Causes:
a) Drinking impure water
b) Eating preserved or spoiled food or over-ripped fruits/melon
c) Having non-veg meal while travelling
d) Does not tolerate smell or sight of food
e) Desires to be fanned constantly
Remedies:
1) Arsenic Alb 12x: The patient is mentally restless, physically too weak to move,
fears death, thinks it is useless to take medicine as it is sure that he would die. It is good
to remove bad effects of vegetable diet, watery fruits, over ripen fruits, preserved food,
decayed food or animal matter by inoculation, smelling or ingestion. Four or five doses
may be given at the interval of 10/15 minutes..
2) Carbo Veg 12x: Food putrefies before it is digested; pain and breathlessness is felt
half hour after eating spoiled food and the patient desires to be constantly fanned and
must have all the windows open. Its administration also takes care of bad effects from
loss of vital fluids. Four or five doses may be given every 10/15 minute period.
3) Kali Phos and Natrum Mur, both in 12x potency at frequent intervals: these remedies
should be used in the case of blood poisoning at least four times a day.
