Traveling can bring unexpected stomach aches, nausea, and diarrhea—classic signs of traveler's diarrhea, often called 'turista.'
Finding reliable treatment abroad isn't always simple.
Fortunately, there's a time-tested radical remedy: warm lemon juice, a grandma favorite for certain cases of turista.
Here's how to use it:
1. Take a big lemon.
2. Squeeze it completely with a lemon squeezer.
3. Add two good spoonfuls of honey (or, failing that, sugar).
4. Heat the mixture.
5. Drink this hot potion without diluting it.
And there you go! No more turista and long hours in the toilet :-)
Say goodbye to stomach ache, nausea, and diarrhea!
How long does this remedy work? Symptoms should disappear in just 12 to 24 hours.
What is important in this treatment is to drink this mixture undiluted.
It would be a shame to ruin your trip by being sick, right? So here are some simple tips:
- Drink bottled mineral water, avoid ice cubes.
- Eat only fruits that have been peeled, and if possible cooked vegetables.
- Avoid certain places where food is kept in direct sunlight (especially meat, eggs and dairy products).
- Finally, remember to wash your hands very often.
