Rose
Rose is a flower known for its beauty and fragrance for many centuries, but it also has an additional use as an herbal remedy. The petals of the rose can be steeped in hot water to make a tea that can help with vomiting.
Rose is an anti-anemic, anti-inflammatory, analgesic, astringent, carminative, and mild sedative. It is also thought to protect against tumors and high blood pressure. However, rose is not recommended for breast cancer or any type of cancer.
A study found that rose-infused oil was found to have antiemetic properties that significantly reduced the vomiting that occurred in rats after they were given cisplatin, which is a chemotherapy drug induces severe nausea and vomiting.
For those unable to find rose-infused oil, one study found that rose essential oil worked just as well as rose-infused oil when applied topically on rats. In addition, the researchers suggest that a lavender-rose combination may also reduce nausea and vomiting.
To make the tea, add 1 tbsp of dried rose petals to a cup of boiling water and let steep for five minutes. Strain and drink slowly. Rose tea should be used in moderation because it contains tannin, which can be harmful if consumed in large quantities.
