This blog is for everyone who has ever been excited about eating, only to be overcome with sensations of nausea and vomiting just before the meal is served.

Having nausea or vomiting is usually nothing to worry about, but there are rare circumstances when medical assistance is necessary. For example, a severe or prolonged vomiting episode or a headache or migraine that worsens when you move or for no apparent reason.

If you're experiencing nausea or vomiting, you can schedule an appointment with our virtual doctor for nausea. Meanwhile, here are a few things you should know.

Understanding Nausea and Its Causes

Nausea is gastrointestinal distress that often includes the need to throw up. Symptoms include abdominal discomfort or soreness, difficulty swallowing, or difficulty digesting food or drink.

Nausea may be caused by a wide variety of medical issues, including but not limited to the following:

  • Lead poisoning from polluted water
  • Chemotherapy treatments
  • Vitamin S supplements for high blood pressure
  • Pregnancy-related illnesses, including morning sickness, heartburn, etc.

The symptoms of nausea and vomiting might be alleviated to some extent without resorting to medication. Some people turn to home remedies in an attempt to alleviate their symptoms. However, it is important to determine whether or when these home remedies are effective. 

Common Home Remedies For Nausea And Vomiting

· Ginger

Ginger has been used historically to treat nausea. Studies have shown that the active component in ginger, gingerols, reduces nausea. There is ongoing research on the effectiveness of this common home cure for nausea as an anti-nausea treatment during invasive surgical procedures such as colonoscopies, CT scans, and angioplasties. When brewed as a tea, it may be an effective treatment for nausea.

However, this remedy may only provide temporary relief; if your nausea continues, you should immediately see a doctor or schedule an appointment with a virtual doctor for vomiting.

· Peppermint Oil Or Tea

Aside from ginger, peppermint is another natural remedy.  Whether in the form of tea or oil, it has proven effective in combating nausea. Evidence suggests it may also be effective for treating IBS, alleviating stomach discomfort and bloating in those who suffer from it (IBS).

Again, this solution may only be a temporary fix. The best way to get some relief from your nausea is to schedule an appointment with a doctor or get nausea treatment online.
