9. Ginger
If there’s one kitchen ingredient with a particularly long history as a remedy for nausea, it’s ginger.
This aromatic root has been used in traditional cooking and medicine for centuries. Today, researchers continue to investigate its effects on nausea, vomiting, and digestive function.
Some clinical evidence suggests ginger can help with certain types of nausea, particularly nausea and vomiting associated with pregnancy. However, the evidence for treating ordinary indigestion is more limited.
One of the easiest ways to enjoy ginger is as a warm tea.
To make a simple ginger drink, slice a small piece of fresh ginger root and steep it in hot water for several minutes. You can adjust the strength to your liking.
Ginger also works well in soups, stir-fries, marinades, and salad dressings.
But don’t assume that natural ingredients are automatically free of side effects. Ginger can cause heartburn, diarrhea, or abdominal discomfort in some people, especially in larger amounts.
Try this: If mild nausea is your main complaint, a small cup of ginger tea may be worth trying. Start with a modest amount and pay attention to how your body responds.
If you’re pregnant, take medications, or are considering concentrated ginger supplements, check with a healthcare professional first.
