Trying to cure nausea is one of the most frustrating things in the world. Some home remedies actually cause you to be more nauseous, and the same solution does not always work with everyone. The key is to try as many as you need to try until you find the solution. If you are experiencing nausea that lasts more than a day or two, you should see a doctor right away as this could be an emergency. Otherwise, here are some fanatastic home remedies for nausea that you can usually find right around your house:
1. One of the absoute best home remedies for nausea is fresh ginger. Fresh ginger naturally combats nausea, and is pretty tasty in a glass of hot tea. You will want to get the freshest ginger possible however, to have the best effect on your nausea.
2. Another top home remedy for nausea is chamomile tea. This tea is not as tasty to me as the fresh ginger, but it is still effective in curing nausea. Hot teas in general are calming for the nauseous person.
3. You need to push plenty of clear liquids when you are nauseous as well. When you throw up you lose very important liquids that must be replaced. If you are not able to drink clear liquids or sip broth, then chances are you need to go to the doctor to have an IV. Remember to drink liquids.
4. Peppermint is another natural home remedy for nausea. The little peppermint candies with the stripes around the edges can work wonders. Make sure you suck and not chew however, for maximum medicinal effect. Also, the sharp edges of the candy can hurt if you throw them up later.
5. Check into the pressure points that are located between your forefinger and thumb. If you are careful to rub in just the right area, you will see that it is highly relaxing and very effective at ending your nausea. This type of pressure point therapy has been used for hundreds of years.
6. Honey has also long been considered a nausea home remedy, and it can be used in a number of ways. The most common home rememdy is to mix it with a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar, but you can also use it in teas, hot water, and even in ginger ale.
7. Taking a hot bath is one of the most effective home remedies for nausea that you can find. Showers work as well, but often the hot water in a bath will make your stomach relax.
8. Elevating the head of your bed. Often, nausea is related to the acid reflux that comes with it. This will help gravity to keep that acid in the stomach where it belongs.
These are only a handful of the more popular home remedies for nausea. There are a number of other things that you can try as well by simply doing an Internet search. Generally these will be more than enough to stop the nausea, however. Again, if you are throwing up for more than 24 hours, you should check with your doctor for medical help.
