Aromatherapy: Put a drop of
peppermint oil on the tongue at the first sign of a nausea attack. This
will often stop it from progressing or prevent it from becoming
serious.
Diet: Eat smaller, more frequent meals and avoid processed fats. During an attack of nausea, nibbling whole-grain crackers or sipping lemon water can be helpful. To avoid nausea as a result of eating, avoid aspartame, monosodium glutamate (MSG), and all foods that contain chemical additives. Also avoid eating raw fish, as this can often lead to parasites. In addition, assess your risk of food allergies and avoid all foods to which you may be allergic or sensitive. Flower Essences: Rescue Remedy® is excellent for nausea due to anxiety or emotional stress. Herbs: Chamomile, ginger, and peppermint teas are all excellent herbal remedies for nausea. Homeopathy: Useful homeopathic remedies include Ipecac., Nux vom., Pulsatilla, Calc fluor., Colchicum, and Arsen alb. Hydrotherapy: Hydrotherapy is the application of water, ice, steam and hot and cold temperatures to maintain and restore health. Treatments include full body immersion, steam baths, saunas, sitz baths, colonic irrigation and the application of hot and/or cold compresses. Hydrotherapy is effective for treating a wide range of conditions and can easily be used in the home as part of a self-care program. Many Naturopathic Physicians, Physical Therapists and Day Spas use Hydrotherapy as part of treatment. We suggest several at-home hydrotherapy treatments. Please seek the advice of your alternative health care practitioner before undergoing these procedures to make sure they are appropriate for you. Nutritional Supplementation: Vitamin B complex, vitamin B6, and magnesium are useful nutrients for treating nausea. Close Browser/Window To Return To The Main Menu |
