Top Home Remedies for Nausea

Home Remedies

• First off, you could try some acupressure techniques. According to the concepts of acupressure, stomach disturbances that cause nausea take place when energy flow within the body is unstable or has been blocked. The flow of energy can be normalized by applying firm and deep pressure to certain points on the body using fingers and hands. Some of the pressure points that you should touch to treat the symptoms of nausea include: the pericardium meridian, located about two inches above the crease of the wrist on the inner forearm; the stomach meridian, located on the indentation between the tendons of the second and third toes on the top of the foot; and the large intestine meridian, on the webbing between the thumb and the index finger on the back of the hand. The last pressure point should not be manipulated by pregnant women without the guidance of a professional.
  
  
• Several herbs can be used to treat and prevent nausea and vomiting. These include dried ginger root and peppermint. Teas made from these herbs help relieve stomach upset caused by nausea. Other herbs and spices that you can take for nausea include cinnamon, cumin, clove, fennel, mint and aniseed.
  
  
• Essential oils can also be used as home remedies for nausea. They can be administered orally, applied with a compress or massaged into the skin. Aromatherapists recommend essential oils of peppermint, damask rose, chamomile, lavender and fennel. These oils have calming and relaxing properties that can effectively curb nausea.
  
  
• Drink clear liquids like water and non-citrus fruit juices like cranberry juice. These are easily digested by the body, and keep you hydrated during bouts of nausea and vomiting.
