Dealing With Nausea
Nausea sucks. It’s actually better to throw up rather than just be nauseated because you feel as if you are accomplishing something. Nausea is misery in unlimited potential. But you are not completely at nausea’s mercy. You can do some things to ease the pain.
Deep Breathing
This is inhaling for three seconds, holding it and exhaling for three seconds. If you can only do two seconds or one second, fine. Do wahat you can. This works in three ways:
- Deep breathing helps bring in oxygen which can help you calm down
- Deep breathign can help your muscles relax
- If all esle fails, one really deep breath will cause you to throw up and feel better
Herbal Tea
This is my favorite way of dealing with mild nausea, even from a concussion. It doesn’t work too well with stomach flu. It sometimes works for me with nausea from migraines, sometimes not. It’s best if you can get someone else to make the tea, but making the tea can give you something else to concentrate on other than your misery.
Flavors recommended are peppermint, mint blends, chamomile or ginger. (Next best thing to ginger tea is ginger ale). Parsely tea is supposed to help, too, but I’ve never tried it.
Aromatherapy
Some smells can trigger your subsconscious to relax muscles. For me, aromatherapy works best on nausea caused by motion sickness or migraines. You can just sniff the bottle, a few drops on a tissue or massage blended poils on your temples. Only lavender is gentle enough to be used full strength.
Good scents to try and relax to include lavender, peppermint, majoram and rosemary.
Hope this helps.

This is such an important topic, I wish more people would write about it, and not just spam other people’s ideas. Researched content is hard to find on the Internet these days.
