To stop throwing up, several effective home remedies and steps can be taken:
- Eat bland foods and dry crackers (like soda crackers or saltines) to help absorb stomach acids and settle the stomach.
- Take small sips of fluids such as water, herbal tea (ginger or peppermint), lemonade, or suck on ice chips to prevent dehydration.
- Try deep breathing exercises to reduce nausea by calming the nervous system.
- Use wrist acupressure by pressing a point on the inner forearm near the wrist (Neiguan point) to relieve nausea.
- Consume ginger in forms like tea, supplements, or candied ginger, which can help speed up stomach emptying and reduce nausea.
- Avoid spicy, fatty, or greasy foods, and eat smaller, more frequent meals to reduce stomach irritation.
- Rest and get fresh air, and use distraction techniques like listening to music or watching a film to take your mind off nausea.
If vomiting lasts more than a day, is severe, or comes with alarming signs like blood in vomit or intense pain, medical attention should be sought immediately, as it may indicate a more serious condition. These methods help relieve vomiting symptoms and support hydration and recovery.
