TIPS TO FIGHT NAUSEA

• Simply inhale the cinnamon oil to help with nausea.
• Cinnamon powder can be sprinkled over the food to reduce nausea.
• Take 1 Bran Biscuit / Marie Lite Biscuit / Multigrain Biscuit along with Tea / Green Tea / Jasmine Tea early morning.
• Sip fluids slowly to calm your stomach without irritating it further. Drink clear liquids like water, weak tea, and ginger Squash. Sugary drinks may calm your stomach more, and avoid acidic drinks like orange juice, tomato juice, and coffee.
• While you're nauseous, stay away from spicy and fatty foods, and avoid strong food odors from cooking or restaurants.
• If you're vomiting, stay away from solid foods until at least six hours after last throwing up.
• Laying down may soothe nausea more than sitting up; find the most comfortable (least nauseating) position for you and stay there as long as you can, or until your nausea goes away.
• Ginger is a widely recognized natural remedy for nausea. Add a little ginger to your queasy stomach (up to three times a day) in the form of ginger ale, ginger root capsules, powdered ginger, ginger tea, or fresh minced ginger added to food or tea.
