Vomiting is the process of reflexively throwing out the contents of the stomach or duodenum. Serves to cleanse the stomach in case of food or drug poisoning, intestinal infections. Vomiting in this case is a salvation for the body. When the gag reflex works autonomously, this is quite natural, but if it does not exist for a long time, then it is better to artificially protect the body from the effects of toxins that have entered inside.
Inducing vomiting is sometimes the best way to deal with poisoning: timely primary care will help avoid negative consequences and even death. However, it should be remembered that if the poisoning was caused by potent poisons (kerosene, petroleum products), vomiting should not be induced. It is strictly forbidden to provoke the gag reflex in case of drug poisoning, as well as during pregnancy and in the presence of diseases of the cardiovascular system. Another contraindication is the victim remaining unconscious.
Very often a person cleanses his body artificially when he has been tormented by nausea for a long time. The causes of this unpleasant phenomenon may be: overeating, consumption of expired foods, alcohol, as well as pregnancy and the presence of any diseases. In order not to ruin their plans and simply for good health, people cleanse their stomachs, thereby relieving the body of processing large amounts of toxic substances. As a rule, after vomiting, the feeling of nausea disappears. How can you induce vomiting on your own?
