Ginger and gastroenteritis: nausea, vomiting, and natural rehydration

The viral gastroenteritis causes nausea, severe vomiting and diarrhea. The ginger is the fastest and most validated natural antiemetic — with the added bonus of properties antivirals against the responsible viruses.

Express antiemetic

Ginger acts by 30 minutes on nausea and vomiting by blocking 5-HT3 receptors at the vomiting center (spinal bulb). This action is as rapid as ondansetron (Zofran®) but without a prescription and without side effects.

Natural antiviral

Norovirus and rotavirus are the main causes of gastro. Ginger has direct antiviral activity:

• Inhibits norovirus replication (Journal of Ethnopharmacology, 2020)
• Reduces viral adhesion to the intestinal mucosa
• Stimulates theimmunity mucous membrane (secretory IgA)

Protection of the intestinal mucosa

Gastro destroys the intestinal epithelium. Ginger protects and repairs the mucosa by stimulating the proliferation of epithelial cells and reducing theinflammation-natural-remedy">inflammation (TNF-α, IL-8) caused by the infection.

INTI protocol for gastro

• Acute nausea : 1 INTI shot (5 ml) in 200 ml of lukewarm water — every 2-3 hours
• Rehydration : INTI diluted in water with a pinch of salt and a drizzle of lemon = natural rehydration solution
• Food recovery : 1 INTI shot before each light meal — facilitates digestion-bloating-reflux-nausea">ginger and digestion and protects the mucous membrane

With 1.19 g/100 ml and zero sugar added, INTI does not feed intestinal viruses or cause fermentation — unlike sugary drinks which make osmotic diarrhea worse.

Conclusion

Ginger is the number 1 natural weapon against gastro: rapid antiemetic, antiviral and protector of the mucous membrane. INTI Drink is the ideal companion to get through the episode faster and more comfortably.
