Causes of Nausea

That roiling, bubbling, quivering stomach. The insistent urge to vomit. The lightheadedness and dizziness. We have all suffered from that dreaded feeling of nausea at some point in our lives. There are actually several causes of that unpleasant sensation. Some of the most common include:

• Motion sickness
• Heartburn or gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD)
• Food-borne bacterial and some types of viral infection (rotavirus)
• Medications
• Food allergy and strong food odors
• Intense Pain (a symptom of kidney stones, gallbladder stones, or pancreatitis, for example)
• Ulcers
• Pregnancy
• Anxiety & Stress
• Severe Migraines

Treatments for Nausea

The pharmacological answer to nausea is typically synthetic options like Dramamine, Scopolamine, or the like. These drugs can often have inconvenient side effects, including drowsiness. They can also be potentially dangerous to take during pregnancy. Many people may wonder if the risks are worth the benefits.

There are alternative methods and techniques to combat nausea. Acupuncture and acupressure have been used for many years and can offer relief for some. Unfortunately, it may not be feasible or practical to engage in these remedies when nausea strikes. Deep breathing and drinking fluids to stay hydrated can also alleviate some of the pain, but they will likely not alleviate all the symptoms. Aromatherapy, particularly peppermint, has also been used to reduce nausea symptoms. Again, it may be difficult to get access to this treatment in the moment.

Natural Remedies

Treating nausea can be a challenging process. Natural remedies for nausea can often help us feel quick relief. It is believed that certain foods help our digestive tract and soothe our stomach. By adding them to our diet, we provide our body the necessary tools to fight against sickness and keep us in balance.
