One common problem that we've all suffered from at some point in our lives is feeling nauseous. Nausea can be induced due to a number of factors like an upset stomach, stress, pregnancy and whatnot. Trivial as the problem might be, it can still become a big issue if left untreated for too long. And while there are hoards of medicines out there that promise you cures, how long will one rely on things that contain chemicals? This is why it is always best to rely on easy home remedies to help take care of trivial health issues. So, if you're suffering from nausea, here are a few home remedies that you can try to get rid of it.

In traditional Chinese medicine acupuncture and acupressure are both commonly used to treat nausea. While acupressure uses pressure to stimulate certain points in the body, acupuncture uses needles that are inserted at these specific points. Both of these methods work really well and have no side effects.

You can opt for specific controlled breathing techniques to help get rid of your nausea. Start by inhaling to the count of three, hold your breath to the count of three and then exhale to the count of three. You could also opt to do this with different essential oils to help stimulate your nerves as you breathe in and breathe out.

PMR or progressive muscle relaxation is a technique that requires individuals to tense and relax their muscles in a continuous manner which can help relieve physical and mental stress and can promote a feeling of relaxation. It was found that opting for PMR could also aid people against feeling nauseous.

Ginger is known for its spiciness and can add flavour to any food. It can also work wonders in getting rid of nausea. Grate some fresh ginger and then add it to some water and boil it. Once done, cool down the water and then drink it. You're bound to feel better in no time. However, if you're pregnant or prone to low blood pressure, you should only consume ginger in moderate quantities.

Using peppermints to cure nausea is an age-old therapy and is still used prominently even today. You could opt for candied peppermint oil or you could even take peppermint oil capsules. And if that doesn't work for you, brew a pot of tea and add some peppermint oil to it and drink the tea. Chewing on peppermint leaves can also help.

Cinnamon contains multiple antibacterial and antiviral properties which is why it works great in clearing your gastrointestinal system. This means that it can also get rid of your nausea. Take ¼ tsp cinnamon powder and mix it with a cup of warm water and then drink the water.

Lemon happens to be one of the best foods to consume to get rid of nausea. Just slice a lemon in half and sprinkle some rock salt on it (avoid salt if you have a blood pressure problem) and then suck on the lemon. You could also mix the juice of a lemon with some water and soda and drink that up.
