folk remedy for nausea?

[Connonym]

I don't have time for this today :( Anyone have a sure-fire way to get rid of nausea? No clue why I feel this way but have for about 18 hours now.

[datasuspect]

1. beer

or grass

[ohiosmith]

2. Ginger Snaps.

[datasuspect]

4. ginger ale

and stinky cheese

[crispini]

5. Candied ginger.

Or 7 up.

[datasuspect]

8. when we were kids our mom

always gave us 7-up/ginger ale/cheese/bread for stomach complaints.

that was back in those day when they put iodine and other burny shit on cuts otherwise we'd get "blood poisoning"

[Connonym]

11. my sister actually had blood poisoning

from playing in the sandbox. It was sorta scary. I head that Johnny Depp's daughter almost died of it recently.

[Iris]

15. oh, that's what she had? How did she get it?

Did your sister really get it from the sandbox?

[datasuspect]

16. i always thought that was an old wive's tale to keep children from

playing in the mud.

[Connonym]

18. we presume it was the sandbox

because she had cut her finger when playing in it and the finger got all all red and warm to the touch with a black streak running up her arm.

[Iris]

22. yikes! That would be scary. n/t

[Whoa_Nelly]

3. peppermint tea

natural stomach soother

[Radio_Lady]

25. Second to Whoa Nelly. I've been drinking it throughout my European escapade...

for jet lag, general indigestion from different foods and drinks, etc.

Excellent suggestion.

6. Put your finger down your throat and get it over with

:puke:

[Connonym]

9. there's nothing in there to come out

I threw up a couple times last night and the feeling didn't go away. I wonder if this is vertigo.

[underpants]

14. Provide fodder

then repeat step 1

[China_cat]

7. Catnip tea.

[querelle]

10. Flat Ginger Ale

Flat ginger ale usually works for me and a friend told me that a few sips of the juice from a jar of olives settles a nauseous stomach as well. I won't try that one though, because I detest olives.

Good luck!

[Connonym]

12. Ok, off to the store for ginger ale thanks everyone

[Richard Steele]

17. Make sure you get a brand with some REAL ginger in it!

I hope you see this before you go....

[Connonym]

19. aw shit

I just got back with some Canada Dry. No ginger in the ingredients DOH!

[Richard Steele]

23. Don't panic, that doesn't mean it won't work- honest.

My mom always uses 7-up for upset stomach, and there's certainly no ginger in that.
Always works for her- A couple burps and she feels much better.

Her theory is that it's actually the carbonation that is helping,
but the heavy, syrupy quality of non-clear soft drinks somehow
interferes with its medicinal effect.

Hope you feel better! :hug:

13. Anything with ginger in it.

It's a natural anti-nauseant.

[LoZoccolo]

20. I've heard sniffing lemons works, and cola syrup.

I've even seen little bottles of the cola syrup at Walgreen's, so you don't have to try to track down a big gallon of it from a bottler or something.

But if you've had it for that long I might see a doctor.

[Connonym]

21. yeah, no insurance though

[Connonym]

24. I got some Sprecher ginger ale (with real ginger!)

and some dramamine last night. Worked well and I was able to sleep but now it's back this morning :( I have a feeling it's not going to be a good weekend for me.

[Magrittes Pipe]

27. Try liquorice.

:thumbsup:

[unpossibles]

26. fresh ginger, camomile, and mint are all good for stomach problems.

if it's food related, try an antacid or even some plain bread.

those all have worked for me in the past.

[m_welby]

28. not that i advocate such things but...

..apparently marijuana is a powerful and proven anti-nausea drug. ask any chemo patient who has used it.

[Lyric]

29. Ginger!

Nothing heavy, but a small glass of flat ginger ale and a couple of ginger snaps should settle you down nicely. :)

[joneschick]

30. still feeling icky?

I've known several that swear by acupressure. Here's a link http://www.morningsicknesshelp.com/biobands.html

you don't necessarily need the bands, you should be able to apply the pressure with the instructions. Feel better soon. :hi:

31. I can't believe no one has said Saltine crackers

What every pregnant woman keeps on hand when she has morning sickness. Nibble a few of those - the saltiness really does help.
