antidotes
Neutralizers of toxins
Antidotes are remedies that counteract poison or other harmful substances.
A doctor administers an antidote to someone who has overdosed; a hiker carries antidote for snakebite.
Figuratively, an antidote is anything that counteracts something unpleasant or unwanted: Laughter is the best antidote to stress.
Fresh air felt like an antidote to the stuffy office.
