4 Foods That May Help Relieve Nausea!



Are you looking for a natural remedy for nausea? Here are four foods that can help!

1. Ginger
Ginger contains phytochemicals such as gingerol which help to prevent nausea and vomiting. These chemicals help relieve nausea by promoting the secretion of saliva in the mouth and also promoting the secretion of enzymes in the stomach that help to neutralize stomach acids. Try drinking a cup of ginger tea, sucking on a piece of ginger candy, or eating a few gingersnaps. Ginger can also be taken in supplement form. 

2. Peppermint
The menthol in peppermint provides a cooling sensation in the mouth and stomach that helps relieve nausea by relaxing the digestive muscles. Peppermint also has pain relieving properties. Try drinking some peppermint tea or having some peppermint candy or gum.

3. Saltine Crackers
Starchy foods like saltine crackers can help to relieve nausea by absorbing excess stomach acid. Other starchy foods to try include rice, potatoes, and pretzels.

4. Apples
Apples contain fiber which can help flush nausea causing substances from your stomach. If you are having trouble eating solid foods try some applesauce or apple juice instead.
