The saying "a taste of your own medicine" comes from one of Æesop's fables. It's about a swindler who sells a concoction, claiming it can heal any illness. He himself falls ill and people try to give him his own medicine (which he knows is rubbish) in order to cure him.
The origin of the phrase 'a taste of your own medicine' comes from Aesop's famous story about a swindler who sells fake medicine, claiming that it can cure anything. When he falls ill, people give him his own medicine, which he knows will not work.
Getting "a taste of your own medicine" means that something happens to you, or is done to you, that you have done to someone else. This is sometimes applied where the affected person strikes back (gets even, turns the tables, tit for tat) but is not limited to such situations. It can be seen as either an ironic or a karmic result.
"Medicine" often tastes bad, so provides a metaphor for the unpleasant treatment.
For example, if a person constantly interrupts others, and then is interrupted in his own conversation, he is "getting a taste of his own medicine."
It means "Mind your own business."
