Ginger
Ginger is a popular home remedy for nausea and vomiting. It is also used to relieve stomach pain from motion sickness, morning sickness, and colic in children. A study in the journal Phytomedicine found that ginger capsules were just as effective as Zofran in reducing nausea caused by chemotherapy.
To treat flu symptoms, many people report that ginger tea or candied ginger effectively settles the stomach and reduces the fever associated with the flu. Although there is no scientific data to back this up, many also report that fresh ginger helps them recover faster.
One of the reasons ginger may help reduce flu symptoms is because it contains gingerols, which are known to have anti-inflammatory properties and are thought to reduce inflammation associated with the flu.
