Nausea is a very common problem that generally does not indicate a serious condition. Evaluating the actual cause is an important part of the treatment because it will help you to find a suitable cure accordingly. For example, if it is because of pregnancy, you should try remedies that are suitable for a pregnant body.
In general, nausea can be treated quite naturally by using some simple remedies. Following is a brief rundown on some of the proven ways that can cure nausea quite effectively.
Natural Ways To Cure Nausea
Avoid Movements, Sounds And Smells That Trigger Nausea
Different people react differently to different smells, sounds and movements. Some of the things that may make you feel nauseated include the sudden sense of fear, rotten odors, watching blood or something gory, roller coaster rides and even loud television. Recognize all those culprits that trigger nausea for you and try to avoid them.
Try Scents That Make You Feel Better
Where some smells make you feel nauseated, there are other scents that can make you feel relaxed. For example, smelling freshly cut lemon or peppermint oil can help your stomach to calm down and thus can bring great relief to you.
Mint Tea Or Mint Candy
Drinking mint tea or sucking on a mint candy can reduce the feelings of nausea. You can prepare mint tea by mixing 3-4 crushed mint leaves in boiling hot water. Alternatively, pre-made mint tea bags are also widely available in most health food stores.
The best thing about mint is that it does not just cure nausea but it also helps in the treatment of irritable bowel syndrome and other such stomach ailments.
Ginger
Ginger is a powerful natural product that can cure nausea quite effectively. Drinking ginger soda or ginger tea can make you feel better very quickly. You can prepare ginger tea by mixing thinly sliced raw ginger in hot water. Boil this mixture for ten to fifteen minutes. Taking ginger extracts in supplement forms can also be very beneficial.
Cinnamon Tea
Catechins, the main compounds found in cinnamon, have been found to be very useful in relieving nausea. You can prepare cinnamon tea by mixing one tsp. of cinnamon bark in one cup of water and then boiling the mixture for ten minutes.
Strain it after that. Drinking cinnamon tea can treat nausea quite effectively, but this remedy should not be used to treat pregnancy-induced nausea (morning sickness).
Drink Clear Soda Or Carbonated Water
It is one of the oldest yet still very effective natural ways to cure nausea. When you feel nauseated, you will feel better by drinking something fizzy, such as clear soda or carbonated water.
Eat Something Tart Or Sour

Breathe Deeply Through The Mouth
Take deep breathe in a natural way, neither too rapidly nor too slowly. When you breathe deeply through the mouth, it calms down your stomach and reduces the intensity of the feelings of nausea and vomiting.
Useful Dietary Changes
