A friend introduced me to candied ginger, which is pleasing to eat. I also drink ginger tea from Traditional Medicinals. Both also work very well if your stomach is upset or you have heartburn. Ginger is proven to aid in digestion.

I drink cold water. it helps alot. i wouldnt use Pepto or anything. sometimes they induce. if you female and sexually active, TAKE A TEST. i know thats not what you want to hear but it will happen. if u just start felling sick all of a sudden u might be pregnant. also cut down on your spicy foods. they will give you much problems.

When I get a wave of nausa, I put peppermint oil on my hands and smell it. Also, the motion sickness wristbands you can buy over the counter help too.

I have had ulcers for years before my nausea and vomiting found a diagnosis. A great pressure point for immediate relief of extreme nausea or motion sickness is located on the inside and outside of either wrist. Apply heavy pressure with your finger tips until symptoms cease. Pressure points are right and the base of hand, in the middle of wrists below the front and back of hand

This is an excellent Homeopathic Remedy and works quickly with no side effects. I also chew peppermint gum and that eases nausea too.

Nausea could be helped sometimes with just drinking more good water. As your body repairs at night it releases toxins out of the cells and needs to be cleared out with water. Morning sickness, morning hangover, could there be a connection? When you first get up drink some water! No fluoride or chlorine in the water. Beter to prevent nausea then to deal with it when get nausea. If you juice, try juicing a pealed lemon, an apple with an inch of fresh ginger root every morning. Peppermint tea does seem to help. It could also be from low levels of magnesium. Try taking some CALM an magnesium drink. If you are really low I would look into some oil of magnesium and use it transdermally. Sometimes sickness can cause nausea, so build your immune system up. A head injury can cause nasea, seek a doctor immediately.

whenever i feel nauseous, which is happening alot more these days, i try to drink something cold (preferably milk). i also try to relax no tv or music just silence. some say doing activities or watching tv can take your mind off it but that doesn't work with nausea.

I've found that eating salted crackers esp. in the morning (I keep them on my nightstand) and ginger ale helps.
—Guest pcbzcb

I keep a bottle of ginger ale in the fridge at all times. It is an old remedy that my mom used on me as a child and it works.
—Guest Nancy

flat soda is only recommended when feeling nauseous because it has sugar in it. it's so you don't get weak when not eating due to feeling sick. it's not really stopping the nausea. peppermint tea can be good for settling a stomach though!

Marijuana helps me like a miracle has taken place when I am affected by nausea. I live in a medical marijuana friendly state> I also use Marinol a synthetic form of Marijuana in a pill that also helps a great deal.
