Home Remedies For Nausea Right From Your Kitchen

Nausea is the feeling when one feels uncomfortable or dizzy and has the urge to vomit, but may not actually vomit. Other symptoms that accompany nausea are headache, fatigue and sweating. One experiences tiredness or nervousness, and sometimes even quick breathing. The mouth can sometimes become dry or parched due to dehydration. The reasons could be food poisoning, overeating, drinking alcohol, or could simply result from excessive medication or excessive intake of painkillers. It could also be a side effect of anesthesia. For most people, traveling in overcrowded trains or buses can also leave them dizzy.

Morning sickness, a form of nausea, is also a common symptom during pregnancy. Apart from that, some body types are intolerant to lactose or wheat, and thus intake of any such food too causes nausea or giddiness.
