To stop nausea fast at home, you can try several effective natural remedies and techniques:
- Ginger: Consuming ginger is one of the most popular and effective ways to reduce nausea quickly. You can eat raw ginger, drink ginger tea (made by steeping fresh ginger in hot water), or try ginger candies or ginger ale with real ginger
- Peppermint: Peppermint tea or inhaling peppermint essential oil can soothe the stomach and reduce nausea. Peppermint relaxes the gastrointestinal tract and has been shown to help in various studies
- Deep breathing: Practice slow, deep belly breathing—inhale slowly to a count of three, hold for three seconds, then exhale slowly to a count of three. This can help calm nausea by activating the parasympathetic nervous system
- Fresh air: Getting some fresh air or opening a window can help relieve nausea quickly by reducing stuffiness and providing a calming effect
- Acupressure: Applying pressure to the P6 point on your wrist (about three finger-widths below the base of the palm between the two tendons) can reduce nausea. You can use acupressure bands or press the point with your fingers
- Sip water slowly: Drinking small sips of water or clear fluids helps prevent dehydration and can ease nausea. Avoid gulping large amounts at once
- Lemon scent or lemon water: The smell or taste of lemon may help alleviate nausea. You can sniff lemon essential oil or drink lemon water
- Eat bland foods: If you can eat, try bland, easy-to-digest foods like bananas, rice, applesauce, or toast to avoid irritating your stomach further
