Nausea is a feeling of vomiting triggered by physical or psychological occurrences, and it may last for a short or long period depending on the cause. It is an uncomfortable sensation that may hinder regular activities and is triggered by a series of occurrences, including motion, pregnancy, medication, and food. Here are ten effective ways to remedy nausea
Ginger
Ginger is an herb that has been used since the olden days to treat gastrointestinal problems. The herb contains active compounds known as gingerols and shagaols, improving digestion and inducing bowel movement; thereby, reducing nausea. Ginger can treat nausea in pregnant women but must be used in safe amounts to avoid complications. A study [1] showed that pregnant women in their second trimesters who opted to use ginger instead of drugs had better results than anti-nausea medication.
Motion sickness like car or sea sickness triggers nauseousness, and a study [2] showed thirteen people who took ginger moments before boarding a ship or car had reduced nausea symptoms. Chemotherapy and cancer-related operations also trigger nausea, which is why a study [3] was conducted on 576 cancer patients who took ginger for six days and three days before chemotherapy. The herb significantly reduced the intensity of nausea.
