NATURAL REMEDIES
·
Use the treatments suggested
for Motion Sickness, especially the charcoal and ginger root formula. Powdered
ginger root is a definite help in eliminating nausea.
·
Do not forget the final
solution. Go ahead and vomit.
That is best if the nausea is caused by something recently
eaten. Read vomiting. It will provide very helpful
information. It will also tell what to
do if you have been nauseated and vomiting for days.
·
Eat a small amount of dry toast or crackers to clear nausea
caused by excess exercise. If you are
hypoglycemic, add some protein. For
post-operative nausea, take two 500-mg capsules of ginger.
·
Add a pinch of ginger to other teas, to help reduce nausea. Ginger compress on the head
(made from the mild tea) will help relieve headaches due to nausea.
·
Drink a mild tea of goldenseal and honey on rising to offset the nausea of
pregnancy. Put a pinch of goldenseal
powder in a cup of just –boiled water, and add a little honey to offset the
taste.
·
A cup of hot peppermint tea will reduce a feeling of
nausea. You can add a pinch of basil
and/or ginger. Peppermint tea is a
powerful antispasmodic. It stops muscle
spasms in the digestive tract, including those involved in vomiting (But large
amount of this tea during pregnancy can lead to miscarriage).
·
Here is an excellent herbal
formula for nausea: ginger root, plus a
very small amount of licorice root and cayenne. Doctors found it worked for most
people. Ginger seems to produce no toxic
symptoms even when taken in large amounts.
·
“Carminative” means “stomach
soothing” for these herbs help settle the stomach. Here are the best ones to use: chamomile, fennel,dill, lemon balm, and any of
the mints (peppermint, spearmint, catnip).
Make a tea of one or more of these.
