Raw Onion

As a child, I was due to write an important exam the next morning and started throwing up at about midnite.

My father came in after the second bout, held my head and gave me some raw onion to eat... ugh... but it worked I was able to get up the next morning, I wrote my exam and just in case you are interested,  I passed.

There is no scientific proof substantiating this, but it worked for me.


Cinnamon

  • It also contains chemicals called catechins which is also believed to help with nausea.

Two more very popular culinary herbs that are rich sources of the antiemetic (see healing plants) camphor.

Sage

One of the most effective ways of ending nausea is to allow yourself to vomit, or force yourself to vomit by sticking your finger down your throat.

It can still carry on a bit depending on the reason for the nausea, but mostly that will be the end of it.
