Okay, with that disclaimer out of the way lets begin! Follow in is a list of items that should help relieve/limit your nausea. Also, don't expect the diminished nausea to happen instantly.
Non-Prescription Nausea Relief Ideas:
- Ginger - supplements, candied ginger, ginger ale, ginger cookie/bread, tea
- Saltine Crackers (breads or crackers of any type)
- Water (dehydration causes nausea)
- Mint Tea
- Lemonade
- Black licorice candies
- Altoid peppermint
- Check to see if you are low in B-6
- In-scents: ginger, lemon, lavender and peppermint
- Cool Air / Fan (to bring down your body temp)
- Cold wash cloth or ice pack on the back of the neck
- Acupressure - Link: http://www.wikihow.com/Stop-Nausea-With-Acupressure
- peppermint candy (York or Jr Mints)
- Acupuncture
- Message
- Yoga
- Short small sniffs of a medical alcohol sanitizing pad (right before you feel you will vomit)
I can happily say that I take ginger supplements every day. If I miss a few days of them, the nausea comes back strong. I also notice if I get 'hot' the nausea starts to approach as well. After every meal (any meal other than soup or smoothie) I drink mint tea (Mint Medley by Bigelow) and it works wonders! I even carry bags with me when we go anyplace. My body does not tolerate any of the prescription medications, so this I am very limited.
Found at a local drug store:
- Sea sickness band
- Pressure band
- diphenhydramine (Benadryl)
- dimenhydrinate (Dramamine)
- meclizine (Bonine)
I tried that last 3 items on this list and they had no effect on me. My GI Dr told me to give them a try before we went down the prescription route.
