Feeling queasy? Whether it’s motion sickness, a stomach bug, or anxiety-induced unease, nausea can be extremely uncomfortable and disruptive. The good news? You don’t always need medication to find relief. In fact, many people swear by home remedies for nausea that are not only effective but also gentle on your stomach.
In this blog, we’ll explore 10 science-supported and natural ways to ease nausea at home, why they work, and when to consult a doctor.
Nausea is your body’s way of signaling that something isn’t right. It can be triggered by various conditions or events:
Understanding the root cause of your nausea helps you pick the right remedy.
Ginger is perhaps the most well-known natural remedy for nausea. It has compounds like gingerol and shogaol that relax the intestinal muscles and reduce nausea signals.
Try: Ginger tea, ginger chews, or freshly grated ginger in warm water.
Peppermint oil or tea soothes the stomach and calms spasms in the digestive tract.
Try: Peppermint tea or inhaling peppermint oil for motion sickness.
Vomiting or prolonged nausea can lead to dehydration. Small sips of water or electrolyte-rich drinks can keep you hydrated without triggering more nausea.
Try: Coconut water, ORS solution, or lemon water with a pinch of salt.
The refreshing scent and tartness of lemon can reduce the queasy feeling by stimulating saliva and calming the stomach.
Try: Sucking on a lemon wedge or adding lemon juice to warm water.
When your stomach is upset, the BRAT diet (Banana, Rice, Applesauce, Toast) is your best friend. Avoid spicy, oily, or acidic foods.
These foods are gentle and help settle your digestive system.

Try 4-7-8 breathing (inhale for 4 sec, hold for 7, exhale for 8).
Though acidic, when diluted, ACV can aid digestion and reduce nausea linked to indigestion.
Try: 1 tsp ACV in warm water with honey. Do not take it undiluted.
This pressure point on your wrist is known to relieve nausea. You can use your thumb or a motion-sickness band to stimulate it.
