Natural remedies for nausea?



Recommended Posts

What natural remedies do you all use for nausea? I don't feel like I'm going to actually throw up, just feel off.

Pre-surgery I would sip on ginger ale and nibble on crackers, but those are no longer options. :(

I drink a lot of peppermint tea to settle my stomach. The bonus is it helps with Water intake.

This may not qualify as natural, but buy a bunch of rubbing alcohol pads and sniff them when you feel nauseous. I was severely nauseous after surgery and those puppies helped. It doesn't last long, but it helps.

I second peppermint tea. Honestly, marijuana works amazingly well for nausea, far better than zofran. I have to take a medication that shrinks a benign tumor in my brain and it makes me horribly nauseated. Medicinal marijuana works so well. You can get it without a lot THC so you won't get high just the medicinal support.

My kids suggested the marijuana too, but Texas is not a medical marijuana friendly state.

I'm leaning on the peppermint tea right now.

Thank you all for your suggestions. :)

Peppermint tea would be best in the Lone Star State. Sorry....

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
