Remedy For Nausea

Peppermint

Cloves

Simply chewing on 3-4 whole cloves can relieve common nausea.

Ginger

Ginger Tea

Referred to quite often as the most effective home remedy for nausea, take about 1 teaspoon of fresh ginger root, grate it or finely chop it and add it to 1 cup of boiling water. Cover the cup with a saucer or something and let it sit there for about 10 minutes. Strain it and then drink it. If you grated the ginger you can skip the straining and drink everything for even more effectiveness.

If you are in a bind, you could use powdered ginger from your spice rack. Mix 1/2 teaspoon of powdered ginger with 1 cup of boiling water, and let it soak for about 10 minutes. However this is not as effective as fresh ginger root because with the processed ginger powder, a lot of the volatile oils are missing.
