The Ayurvedic View of Food Poisoning
Ayurvedic Understanding
Ayurveda attributes such acute episodes to viruddha or dushita ahara disturbing digestion, expelled by the body through vomiting and purging.
Management supports this cleansing with fasting, warm water, light gruels, and herbs that settle the gut afterwards.
