Nausea is an unpleasant experience, which is common after overeating, poor eating, prior to travelling, food poisoning and indigestion. Nausea is the urge to vomit. Vomiting Ginger and lemon juices are age old remedies from the grandma's cupboard, for nausea and vomiting. Smelling a freshly cut lemon is the best way to curb nausea. Sip a glass of warm water, with a lemon squeezed in it.
Drink a glass of warm milk or tea to soothe the situation. Chew a piece of fresh ginger or pickled ginger, as soon as you start travelling. Ginger tea with honey is equally effective. Try to avoid eating or drinking anything, at least two hours prior to travelling. This helps prevent vomiting. Smell some fresh mint leaves. This herb soothes the stomach. Peppermint oil is of great help, as a part of aromatherapy. Avoid processed foods, beans and dairy products, before travelling. Nausea due to indigestion is reduced with papaya, pineapple and acidophilus bacteria in yoghurt. Sip some cold beverages, such as carbonated drinks. Try to avoid the same, in case of a heavy stomach. Any kind of movement results in discomfort and indigestion. Rest, after food intake proves beneficial.
Equal proportion of lemon juice and honey (about one teaspoon each) is taken slowly to relieve nausea. A decoction of clove is highly effective in fighting off nausea. Mint or ginger tea is helpful. Continuous vomiting and nausea is combated by going in for more liquids, such as cranberry juice. Carbonated beverages such as soda are also helpful. Take a lemon and lemonade, whenever you travel. Sip the lemonade in a gradual manner. If it is difficult to cut a lemon, while travelling, smell the fruit, as such. Peel an orange, as it is refreshing and revitalizing. Try to divert yourself, by reading a book. A walkman is helpful to listen to some good music. This helps in forgetting your feelings of nausea.
Dietary modifications such as high fluid intake prove helpful. Severe vomiting results in dehydration. This is prevented by increasing the intake of liquids, in the form of soups, fresh juices, water, barley water, coconut water and so on. Avoid high fat foods, especially before travelling. This might upset the stomach, thereby resulting in indigestion. Avoid processed foods such as baked foods, French fries, potato wafers, burgers and so on. Opt for normal foods, with moderate spice and fat. A balanced diet is helpful in preventing any nutrient deficiencies, associated with vomiting.
