Okoubaka - "a little gem in cases of food poisoning, intolerance, and -sensitivity"


Okoubaka is the bark of an African tree.

There is currently no drug testing for this homeopathic medicine.

However, due to its use in folk medicine, it has become a homeopathic remedy.

The tree bark is known to have been taken by the members of an African tribe when they were invited to another tribe and they could not be sure if they were well-disposed or feared poisoning by food and drink at that meeting had to [1].


The range of action of this remedy mainly refers to the gastrointestinal tract (stomach, intestine, liver, gallbladder and pancreas).

For example, Okoubaka is indicated for gastroenteritis after ingestion of putrid foods.


It is also proven in food intolerance, and temporary changes in nutrition, as it may be the case for long-distance travel, for example, when traveling to places whose culinary habits are unfamiliar [2].

There have been reports of the use of Okoubaka in cases of intestinal infections, celiac disease, IBS (Irritated Bowel Syndrome) and Crohn's disease [4].

Furthermore, it has been used successfully in various forms of poisoning, as well as in the convalescence / recovery of infectious diseases. [2].


The main indication for this remedy is indeed the poisoning by food, chemical drugs and drugs, tobacco and chemical additives to food.


It is also indicated as a remedy for the consequences of chemotherapy, and for treatment, or as a prevention for tropical diseases.

Hay fever, allergies and rashes respond well to Okoubaka.


This remedy is particularly indicated when illness or discomfort occurs, as a result of exposure to bacterial or environmental toxins, viruses or chemical drugs [2].


Symptoms that describe a person who might need Okoubaka include some concentration and memory problems.

People can be irritable, anxious and depressed.

These are patients who are constantly tired as a result of an infection.

Patients may suffer from headaches, migraines and dizziness. The patient may complain of nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, stomach and abdominal pain with bloating or heartburn and loss of appetite.

Patients with a tendency to hay fever can benefit from Okoubaka when breathing is difficult, asthmatic symptoms occur, and cough and runny nose can affect the patient.

This remedy may be valuable in cases of allergies associated with itching, swelling and redness of the skin.

It is particularly appropriate if the cause of an allergic reaction is caused by chemicals, chemical medicine or food, or comes from an unknown source [2].


I have used this "gem" of my homeopathic pharmacy on so many occasions that it has become a steady and faithful companion in my purse.

For example, I use it when I am unable to follow my usual habitual diet with a meal, and it may therefore be expected that I will subsequently experience discomfort and other ailments.

So with complaints after eating unfamiliar food.

When I'm invited to dinner, or go to a restaurant, and I'm not sure if I'll be more intolerant or sensitive to food or its additives, then I'll use Okoubaka prophylactically.


The excessive contamination of vegetables with insecticides and pesticides can cause a strong reaction in sensitive individuals, but even the natural food allergies can have unpleasant effects, then if the source of the discomfort is known or a response is expected, then prescribe / use me Okoubaka.


In cases of food poisoning that are beginning to show signs of discomfort, I recommend Okoubaka.

If you have eaten too much, you are bloated or suffer from indigestion then I recommend Okoubaka.


Okoubaka is, in my experience, one of the few homeopathic remedies for prophylactic use.

The prophylactic use of homeopathic remedies is a controversial issue among homeopaths.

The administration of a drug before signs of illness occur, and before patients develop individual and specific symptoms, speaks against a fundamental principle of homeopathic practice [5].


If one gives a remedy to prevent possible complaints in the near future, one disrespects a basic principle of the homeopathic philosophy.

But even Hahnemann had an exception to this rule. In the case of epidemics, he also resorted to preventive prescription [5].

Where complaints can be avoided, as is the case with Okoubaka, I believe that it is justified to use such a remedy.

Practical experience, as stated above, has provided on countless occasions evidence of the prophylactic effect of Okoubaka.
