Ginger
Ginger has a long history of use in traditional medicine, dating back to ancient China. It’s one of the herbs used in many herbal remedies for nausea, and it’s also known for its anti-inflammatory and anti-nausea properties.
Ginger is a spice that comes from the root of a plant related to the common garden carrot. It has a pungent smell and a spicy taste. It’s been used to soothe stomach issues like gas, bloating, diarrhea, nausea, and vomiting for centuries.
One way ginger can help with symptoms of vomiting is by reducing inflammation in your intestines. This can help prevent nausea and vomiting while your stomach settles down after an illness or eating something you shouldn’t have eaten. Another way is stopping the production of prostaglandins, hormones that cause inflammation and pain. Many prescription medications for pain relief work this way—by blocking the production of prostaglandins. Ginger can do this without the side effects (like addiction or drowsiness).
