Five Methods for Controlling Nausea

2 min


Nausea can be caused by an array of different conditions and problems. For individuals with chronic pain, you may feel waves of nausea as the pain gets worse. For others, their upset stomach is a result of the foods or beverages they’ve been consuming. Certain medical disorders can also cause a person to feel sick. These include GERD, ulcers and heartburn. If your upset stomach is being caused by vitamins, supplements or medications, it’s time to rethink your medicine cabinet and talk to your doctor.

Drink an Icy Beverage

One way to treat bouts of nausea is with an ice-cold beverage. Simply drinking a tall glass of icy water can help to keep you feeling your best. You may also find that this helps instances of acid reflux, which could cause the feelings of being sick. In order to avoid feeling worse, stick to water or something that doesn’t have much flavor in it.

Eat a Few Crackers

Crackers can help to fill your stomach and absorb what’s causing you to feel ill. For example, if your nausea is being caused by a vitamin that you took on an empty stomach, the crackers will help to absorb the excess vitamin so that it doesn’t make you nauseous. Stick to plain crackers or any other type of bland food, like rice or light sugar cookies.

Try Medical Marijuana

The FDA has approved the use of medical marijuana for bouts of nausea and people who have chronic problems relating to their stomach may find it to be beneficial. Marijuana can be smoked, consumed or used through a liquid tincture. For individuals who live in Missouri, it’s easy to obtain your medical marijuana card online. In order to get started, you’ll need to fill out a simple application and wait for doctor approval. Many have found this method to be easy, quick and simple compared to trying to find a local doctor who approves of its use.

Avoid Strenuous Activities

If you’re feeling sick to your stomach, now isn’t the time to try out a new yoga class or do strenuous activities at home. The best thing for you to do is to sit and relax while the feelings of nausea pass on their own. After you start to feel better, you can go about your business without feeling so poorly. It may take some time for the nausea to pass, but it will go away.

Focus on Something Else

One problem that a lot of people have is that when they’re not feeling good, they focus on it. Let’s say that you’re feeling nauseous, but you need to go out to work or school. Rather than ignoring the feelings, you’re focused on them and causing them to feel worse. You don’t want to be nauseous in work, so now you’re panicked that it just won’t go away. The key is to focus your attention on something else, whether it’s a favorite television show or a hobby that you like to engage in when feeling bored, anxious or upset.
