Ways to Relieve Nausea Naturally

Today I’m sharing my favourite ways to relieve nausea naturally because feeling queezy during pregnancy can be very uncomfortable. Especially if you have it for more than a couple of days, or weeks. Ugh, and if you’re anything like me the first time around, nausea for 6 months, it is really uncomfortable.  These options worked great for me, hopefully they can provide some relief for you too!

Ways to relieve nausea naturally

Spearmint Gum

Chew some spearmint or peppermint gum. Chewing gum kept my mind busy and didn’t allow me to focus my energy on feeling nauseous.

Essential Oil

• Dab spearmint essential oil on your wrists at the beginning of your day, or when you are heading out. When you begin to feel nauseous, smell your wrists. Slowly breathing in through your nose, and exhaling through your mouth.
• Kleenex with spearmint -In a small ziploc bag, place a couple kleenex and add a few drops of spearmint essential oil onto the kleenex. Keep in your purse/bag. When you are out, and feeling nauseous, take your ziploc bag out, open and inhale through nose and exhale through mouth.

Relax

• If you can, lie down.
• Close your eyes, and focus on inhaling through your nose and exhaling through your mouth.
• Listen to some soothing music. Listening to white noise helped me, like “rain.”
• Try not to focus on the feeling of being nauseous.

10 Ways to relieve nausea naturally

Eat little and often

Pretty self-explanatory, eat little and often. Eat bland food; bananas, rice, applesauce and toast. My favourite thing to eat, especially when I was feeling queezy was peanut butter and banana sandwiches. Also, try to keep away from food that it spicey and/or very seasoned.

Also take note of which foods make you feel nauseous, so you can avoid those.

Stay hydrated

Drink lots of water, especially before and after eating.

Aromatherapy

Some of my favourite scents to put in a diffuser while I’m feeling nauseous are:  Peppermint, spearmint, lemon, lime, sweet orange, mandarin, and lavender.
