Natural Nausea Cures

Whether you have nausea caused by motion sickness, something you ate, a hangover, or just an upset stomach in general, there are ways you can help it without using medicine. 

Ginger root is a completely natural product that is incredibly effective against nausea and upset stomachs. While there are many different ways to consume ginger these days, one of the best ways I've found is to make a cup of strong ginger tea. While they sell ginger tea in tea bags, it is stronger and more effective if you make it yourself, not to mention cheap and easy to make. 

What you need:

Ginger root: You can find ginger root at the grocery store. It is usually kept with the produce and costs about $2-$3 a pound, so one root usually comes up under $1 and can last for a month or more. If you prefer organic, organic ginger root can be found at health food stores.
A tea ball (also found at the grocery store, a small metal ball with holes in it for brewing loose tea)
A cheese grater
Honey or another type of sweetener (optional)

What you do:

Begin by shredding the ginger root at one of the ends with the cheese grater. The cheese grater should be fairly small (you don't want long shreds of ginger) but not too small or it will become a pulpy mess and harder to work with. If you want you tea to be strong, shred enough to pretty much fill the tea ball. If you prefer you tea less strong, you can fill the tea ball halfway or less. 

Once you've got enough shredded ginger, boil water fo tea. Put the tea ball in a mug. Once the water has boiled, pour it  over the tea ball, filling the mug.
