3. Calm Nausea With Ginger
Ginger has been widely researched for its potential to alleviate nausea, particularly in chemotherapy patients and pregnant women. A 2016 review in the journal Integrative Medicine Insights confirmed ginger’s effectiveness and safety. It appears to work by expediting the movement of food from the stomach and possibly inhibiting nausea-inducing neurotransmitters like serotonin. To prepare ginger tea, steep 1½ teaspoons of freshly grated ginger in 1½ cups of boiling water. For added sweetness, you can include honey. Let the mixture sit for 10 minutes, then strain out the ginger before drinking.
