Food
Poisoning - Chinese Medicine explanation and treatment
The commonest cause of food poisoning arises from poor hygiene or contaminated
food. Reheating food, or not ensuring that it is cooked or stored properly,
provides a perfect climate in which bacteria can flourish and with the risk of food poisoning. There are various
forms of food-poisoning germs. Salmonella and staphylococcus are two of
the most familiar. Lysteria, which thrives in soft cheeses and pates, can
pose a hazard for pregnant women, as it can affect an unborn baby. These
items are best avoided in pregnancy. In food poisoning the lining of the
stomach and the intestines become inflamed, causing vomiting, diarrhoea and abdominal pains. In Chinese Medicine fresh ginger or basil are frequently used in the treatment of food poisoning.
