Yesterday evening I got a call from one of my friend. Her son Chez (name changed), after returning from school, developed gripping colicky pain and had a couple of loose motions. Since it was late night and access to medication was tough, I advised a mixture of Hingu (asafetida) and Jeeraka ( cumin) with jaggery. The moment he put this in his mouth, he started to vomit undigested food. Simultaneously he developed loose motions. Neighbors and friends advised her to take Chez to a hospital and get him admitted for saline as he might get dehydrated. Chez was very clear that he didn't want to go inspite of the pain and motions. I asked his mom to just keep him dehydrated as this looks like a case of food poisoning. The body is trying to expel the same and asked her to help the body do it.
He had pain till about 3am and also had about 12 loose motions throughout the night. Early morning I prescribed Mudga yoosha (green gram soup) which helped stop the motions and give him strength.
It could have been easier for me had she had Dadima twak (pomegranate peel) at home. Please don't throw away the peel after consuming the fruit. Dry the peel, powder it and store it. It will definitely come in handy in such conditions.
Inspite of the sleepless night, I have to acknowledge and congratulate Chez's courage and his family's confidence in the science of Ayurveda.
