To get rid of nausea fast, several effective methods can be tried:
- Drink ginger tea or eat a small piece of fresh ginger, as ginger is well-known for easing nausea.
- Try sipping lemon water or inhale the scent of fresh lemon, which can soothe the stomach.
- Drink peppermint tea or inhale peppermint essential oil, both of which may relieve nausea quickly.
- Get fresh air and avoid strong odors as fresh air can reduce nausea feelings.
- Apply acupressure on the P6 point on the wrist (about 2–3 finger widths from the base of the palm between two tendons) to relieve nausea within seconds.
- Sit up or change position to reduce stomach pressure.
- Drink water or electrolyte sports drinks in small sips to stay hydrated.
- Eat small amounts of bland foods like crackers, toast, or plain pasta if able.
- Avoid carbonated and very sweet or fatty foods since they may worsen nausea.
- Taking over-the-counter anti-nausea medication like Pepto Bismol can provide relief if nausea is due to indigestion.
These methods can provide quick relief depending on the cause and severity of the nausea.
