Nausea can be quickly calmed with natural
remedies such as chamomile and ginger. Our grandmothers used it regularly as a herbal tea to
treat nausea.
Chamomile
You can find two types of chamomile: Roman and German. While they
are different plants, they have similar properties. They both help digestive
problems and have antispasmodic qualities, but Roman chamomile is more often
used for nausea.
Ingredients
1 c. tablespoons dried flowers Roman
chamomile
200 ml hot water
Bring water to a boil.
Let infuse for 10 minutes dried flowers.
Remove your teaspoon.
Drink several cups a day of chamomile tea.
Ginger
Ginger root is widely used to relieve nausea. Ginger has numerous
qualities that help the digestive system. For instance, it encourages your body
to make saliva and digestive enzymes for digestion. A number of studies back up
ginger’s anti-emetic, or nausea-fighting, properties. One such study in the
August 1990 edition of “Anaesthesia” found that ginger eased the nausea of
patients after surgery as well as a common medication taken for the same
purposes. Ginger was significantly better than placebo.
To make ginger tea:
slice
and chop two tbsp. of ginger root
Boil this with a cup of water
Then
simmer it for an hour.
Strain the ginger root pieces from the water and enjoy
the resulting tea.
For an easier version, buy pre-packaged ginger tea bags.
Ask
your doctor before using ginger or chamomile for nausea.
