Below are some foods that can help in dealing with nausea.
Canadian scientist Rachel Westphal found that peppermint worked as well for pregnant women as mixtures of peppermint and ginger or pure ginger did. With more than half dozen gas reducing carminatives (stomach-settling agents), more than a dozen pain relievers, and even more sedative and tranquilizing compounds, peppermint offfers a multiple whammy against stomach troubles.
Many experts consider ginger to be the best remedy for nausea. A study in Thailand showed that a dose of at least 1 gram of ginger was more effective than a placebo at preventing postoperative nausea and vomiting. Some studies have shown that ginger appears to be as effective as metoclorpramide (Reglan, Clopra) for reducing nausea and vomiting caused by chemotherapy
Peppermint
Peppermint seems to stop muscle spasms in the digestive tract, including those involved in vomiting. The oil found in peppermint leaves also blocks the transmission of nausea impulses from the brain to the stomach as well as sedate and irritated digestive tract. And the tannins in the mint help reduce stomach inflamation.
Cinnamon
Cinnamon contains the antiemetic camphor and two carminatives (eugenol and safrole). It also contains chemicals called catechins, which help relieve nausea.
Among other uses for healing cayenne is a proven remedy for motion sickness. At first sign of nausea, take a teaspoon of cayenne disolved in a teaspoom of olive oil.
