Nausea is caused by a virus, overindulging, stress, or an imbalance in the inner ear. Traveling can create motion sickness. You can ease both with these natural cures.
GLASS OF NATURAL REMEDIES FOR NAUSEA
Ginger syrup, ginger capsules, ginger soda (I love Reed’s Ginger Honey sweetened soda), and candied ginger (wash the sugar coating off) are all helpful in alleviating nausea. In fact, in 2009, researchers at the University of Rochester Medical Center showed that taking ginger supplements with standard antivomiting drugs before chemotherapy can reduce nausea up to 40 percent.
You can also suck on peppermint candies or sip 1 teaspoon of umeboshi plum paste stirred into hot water. The flavors of these plants open different neural pathways rather than the nauseous one. Some find that drinking green tea helps. You can also try sucking on a lemon or olive, both of which have an astringent effect, decreasing salivation.
NATURAL REMEDIES FOR MOTION SICKNESS
Essential oils of peppermint, lemon, and ginger can be inhaled to curb motion sickness. Simply place a few drops on a tissue and take ten deep inhalations. Or just take up to ten deep inhalations at a time from the bottle. You can also get outdoors and breathe some fresh air.
To avoid motion sickness, if you are in a car, sit in the front. Look out of the front window of a car as looking out the side worsens nausea. Keep a window cracked to allow some fresh air in.
When flying, sit toward the front of the plane or over the wings as these sections move less than the back. Turn on the overhead vent.
On a boat, open a window or sit toward the middle of the deck, where there is the least motion.
Sit next to the window on any means of transportation and focus on things that are far rather than close. Keep your head still. Save reading and writing for later. If you must read, slouch down into your seat and hold the reading material close to eye level. Looking down makes some people nauseous.
