Okay everyone has been telling me to use ginger to help with nausea. I am stuck at home until tonight so I canot go get crystalized ginder to suck on. But, I do have Altoids that are ginger flavored. So my question is, what is it that works? The flavor ginger or something actually in ginger root? What actually eases the nausea?

there are some home remedies you can check out for nausea

Ginger may be useful for nausea and indigestion and may work by promoting secretion of saliva and digestive juices, neutralizing stomach acid and toxins, increasing tone and movement in intestines. There are capsules available or try 2 cups of tea using l teaspoon (tsp) fresh ginger or 1 1/2 tsp. powdered ginger. Excessive amounts may cause heartburn. Do not use for postoperative nausea as it may prolong bleeding or with combinations of other blood thinners.

Thank you, I will check it out.

Ginger is a good digestive aid and has antispasmodic and anti-nausea properties. Ginger Ale and some herbal teas work pretty good also. If that does not work see if the Dr can give you Promethizine which is better known as "Phenergan". Your Dr may want to examine you first to make sure it is not a medical problem that needs attention. It works really well, but it may make you tired. When I got sick on one of my surfing trips to Mexico I was in agony. If I would have had Phenergan it would have knocked out the nausea. If I go on any trip I will not leave home without it.
