Spices
Certain spices, such as fennel, cinnamon, and cumin, have been traditionally recommended for their potential to alleviate nausea despite a lack of extensive scientific evidence. However, some studies have explored their effects, finding that fennel powder might reduce menstrual-related nausea and shorten the period duration. Cinnamon has been noted for its ability to lessen the intensity of menstrual nausea, while cumin extract may improve symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome, including nausea.
It’s worth noting that the beneficial doses cited in these studies often exceed what one might typically consume through diet alone. Therefore, while these spices offer a potentially natural way to combat nausea, further research is needed to fully understand their effectiveness and optimal dosages for this specific purpose. [10]
Stay Moving
Engaging in regular physical activity has been linked to reduced nausea, particularly among pregnant individuals and those undergoing chemotherapy. Exercise, including resistance and endurance training, has been shown to improve not only nausea but also fatigue and other chemotherapy-related side effects. Yoga, in particular, has been found to complement traditional vomiting medications, offering enhanced relief from severe nausea.
