The post Effective Tips To Stop An Eczema Itch Without Scratching appeared first on Dherbs - The Best All Natural Herbal Remedies & Products.

]]>

Eczema is a condition that causes the skin to become dry, itchy, or bumpy. When a flare up occurs, it is highly uncomfortable and can be extremely difficult to avoid itching the affected area(s). Symptoms start to flare up if you encounter an irritant or allergen, and you have to use one or more remedies to stop the itching. 

More often than not, itchiness is the most common symptom, although itchy patches of skin can begin to ooze or crack from excessive scratching. Itchiness is the result of an overactive immune response, causing irritation or inflammation in the skin. The urge to scratch that itch can interfere with social life, general concentration, and your ability to sleep. To help stop scratching when you have eczema, give the following strategies a try. Some (or all) may not work for you, so keep experimenting until you find what works.

Stress Management

Stress is a common trigger for eczema and can worsen the severity of a flare up. Chronic stress, which stems from financial insecurity or major life events, can have a major impact on eczema. For this reason, dermatologists encourage eczema patients to develop stress management methods, such as: 

  • Meditation: There is more than one way to meditate, people! You can experiment with solo meditation, guided meditation, or even walking meditation. Yoga and Tai Chi are also excellent forms of moderate exercise that promote stress reduction. 
  • Limit social media time: According to mental health experts, spending too much time on social media can cause stress. Additionally, consuming too much news can cause high stress, so put away your socials and news sources to help curb stress. 
  • Sleep: The average adult requires about seven to eight hours of sleep per night. Failure to get enough sleep can ignite symptoms. Make sure to go to bed at the same time every day and keep the bedroom at a cool temperature. 

Moisturizers

If your skin is dry, then you will likely feel itchy in problem areas. With eczema, dryness occurs because of issues with the skin barrier, which is the outer layer that retains moisture. To combat dryness, apply moisturizers to help preserve the barrier and its function. Dermatologists recommend applying a moisturizer at least twice daily, especially after bathing. There are oil-rich eczema creams and ointments, which are thicker than lotions and slightly more effective. Moisturizing daily can help reduce the number of eczema flare ups, according to research. 

Phototherapy

Phototherapy, or light therapy, is a possible treatment for atopic dermatitis, the most common form of eczema. This therapy involves the use of ultraviolet B (UVB) rays, which researchers believe act on nerve endings that cause itchiness. One study found that 93% of people using UVB as eczema treatment reported relief after a couple weeks. 

EMDR Therapy

Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) therapy is a type of psychological therapy commonly used to treat depression and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Some early research suggests that EMDR may relieve the itchiness associated with atopic dermatitis. It may also help reduce daytime scratching and increase self-control, which ultimately improves overall quality of life. During an EMDR session, you will visualize the discomfort and itch while a therapist stimulates your eyes to move. Alternatively, the therapist may expose one or both ears to certain sounds that help you adapt to the discomfort of an eczema-related itch.

Cold Compress

By applying a cold compress to the affected area, you may help relieve itchiness and inflammation. This is a remedy that can be applied whether you have eczema or not. To make a cold compress, soak a towel or washcloth in cold water. Make sure to wring it out before applying to the itchy areas. Once you do this, make sure to apply a moisturizer for ultimate relief. Avoid applying an ice pack directly to the skin, as this can increase burning or itching. 

Habit Reversal Techniques

This is a type of cognitive behavioral therapy that involves changing your behavior and relationship to your eczema itch. This is something that you practice with a therapist or counselor. During your sessions, you’ll focus on disrupting the “itch-scratch” cycle and learn techniques to distract yourself from that itch, all while promoting mindfulness.

4 Natural Remedies For Nasal Decongestion https://www.dherbs.com/articles/4-natural-remedies-for-nasal-decongestion/ Tue, 18 Mar 2025 09:45:00 +0000 https://www.dherbs.com/?p=175411

Stuffed up and unable to breathe is not our idea of a good time. Fortunately, these natural remedies can help unclog your nasal passages.

The post 4 Natural Remedies For Nasal Decongestion appeared first on Dherbs - The Best All Natural Herbal Remedies & Products.

Isn’t nasal congestion great? No, no it isn’t. In fact, there is nothing you crave more while congested than the ability to breathe in and out without any obstruction. You blow your nose continuously, and yet you still produce more mucus. It’s as if you’ll never run out! 

According to health experts, the average adult experiences two to three colds per year, with each one lasting about a week. Stuffiness is also common during allergy season, especially for those who have more severe allergies. Unfortunately, there is no cure for the common cold, but there are a handful of natural remedies that can promote decongestion

In this article, we will cover some great ways to un-stuff your nose. They may not work for everyone, though, so just keep that in mind. Additionally, over-the-counter (OTC) decongestant medications have a similar effect, in that they do not benefit everyone. Some medications can actually increase blood pressure and blood sugar levels. They may also increase the risk of seizure, affect certain heart conditions, and aggravate glaucoma. Additionally, the FDA recently announced that decongestant meds that contain phenylephrine are not effective. That’s why you may want to experiment with one of the following remedies before resorting to OTC decongestants. 

Stay Hydrated

One of the best ways to battle congestion is to stay well hydrated. Increasing your water intake helps to keep mucus thin, making it less likely to clog up your nasal passages. Just make sure that you stick to water or low-calorie drinks, such as herbal tea or seltzer water. Remember that hot drinks can also soothe a sore throat, which commonly accompanies a stuffy nose. Avoid milk, soda, coffee, energy drinks, and alcohol while stuffed up because they can increase mucus buildup. Freshly squeezed fruit juice or smoothies can also aid your hydration efforts. Lastly, lemon water does not hydrate you better than regular water, but if it helps you drink more water then drink it.

Use A Humidifier Or Vaporizer

Humidifiers and vaporizers add moisture to the air in the space where you put them. Health experts note that these devices can be especially beneficial to have in your room while you sleep, especially in colder months when the air is usually drier. A humidifier releases a fine mist into the air, whereas a vaporizer boils water to release steam into the air. When you use a humidifier, aim to use filtered or distilled water and clean the device weekly to avoid buildup. A diffuser can also be beneficial because you can use essential oils that help promote decongestion. Tea tree oil, peppermint essential oil, and eucalyptus essential oil can all help clear your sinuses.

Nasal Irrigation

This is exactly what it sounds like: irrigating your nasal passages. You use a saline solution with a neti pot or nasal irrigation device. A lot of people enjoy this method because it is highly effective at getting rid of mucus buildup. Nasal irrigation works to thin mucus and decrease inflammation, in addition to washing away irritants and allergens in the nostrils. There are a few steps to keep in mind when using these devices, such as:

  • Do not use tap water because it can contain microorganisms that can increase the risk of sinus infection. Use distilled or previously boiled water in place of tap water.
  • Make sure to follow the instructions carefully in order to avoid incorrect usage. Wash your hands before using it as well. 
  • If you develop a fever, headache, or vomiting after using a nasal irrigation device, stop right away and speak to your healthcare professional. These symptoms may indicate infection. 

Steam Inhalation

How does this differ from using a humidifier or vaporizer? Well, inhaling steam from heated water can help moisten the nasal passages and offer short-term relief from congestion. The easiest way to do steam inhalation is by standing in a very hot shower or sitting in a warm bath. You can also pour boiling water into a bowl, hover your face about six inches over the water, and drape a towel over your head and the bowl. This will create a mini steam room for your face and may help clear out your sinuses. Make sure the water is not too hot because you don’t want the steam to burn your face. 

If you want to help promote clearer, easier breathing and expel excess mucus, the following Dherbs herbal supplements may be of interest to you:

  • Mucus Formula: An herbal supplement that helps soften and dissolve hardened mucus. It also works to nourish, cleanse, and maintain healthy function of the respiratory and circulatory systems. 
  • Sinus Formula: An herbal supplement that is intended to soothe and cleanse the sinuses. It may assist with cleansing irritants and excess mucus from nasal passages, which aids with healthier, normal breathing.

How Long Is The Flu Contagious? https://www.dherbs.com/articles/how-long-is-the-flu-contagious/ Fri, 15 Nov 2024 08:56:00 +0000 https://www.dherbs.com/?p=172970

Have you been around someone with the flu? Are you currently infected? You might want to know exactly how long the virus is contagious.

The post How Long Is The Flu Contagious? appeared first on Dherbs - The Best All Natural Herbal Remedies & Products.

]]>

The flu, much like a wildfire, spreads very easily. All it needs is a little bit of wind, right? According to a 2023 study that involved the 2021 to 2022 flu season, you had a 50% chance of contracting the virus. If you or someone you know is sick, then, how long does the contagious period last? Although this is a difficult question to answer precisely, health experts have several guidelines that may help stop the spread. 

How Does The Flu Spread?

The flu is a viral respiratory illness that primarily spreads via close contact with an infected person. Infected flu patients expel germ-filled droplets when they cough, sneeze, or talk. When those droplets land in the mouth or nose of another person, that person is at risk of becoming infected. The droplets can also land on surfaces, such as doorknobs, TV remotes, or keyboards, which a healthy person can touch and then touch their mouth, eyes, or nose, thereby causing infection. 

You cannot always avoid these droplets when you are around someone with the flu. You can, however, take cautionary measures to prevent the spread of the virus. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends the following tips to avoid spreading the flu:

  • Cover your coughs and sneezes with a tissue and then throw that tissues away
  • Clean and disinfect surfaces that may be contaminated (especially high-touch surfaces)
  • Avoid close contact with sick people, and limit contact with others when you are sick
  • Stay home for at least 24 hours after your fever subsides
  • Avoid touching your nose, eyes, and mouth as much as possible
  • Wash your hands regularly with soap and water. Use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer when you don’t have access to soap and water

How Long Does The Flu Last?

Infected with the flu? Well, it can last a few days or a couple weeks. More often than not, people who decided to get a flu shot will get over infection quicker than people who did not get vaccinated. Flu symptoms, such as body aches, fever, or chills, typically come on quickly and subside slowly. According to health experts, the average time between exposure to the virus and the appearance of symptoms is two days. 

Statistically, days two through four are the worst, regarding severity of symptoms. You will know that you are nearing the end of your flu when your fever is down and you no longer feel body aches. At that point, the virus is controlled, but coughing, runny nose, and fatigue can stick around for a little while after that. You may even experience some flu dizziness that can last for a couple days or weeks, depending on the cause. 

How Long Is The Flu Contagious?

Typically, you are most contagious during the first three days of sickness, according to the CDC. That said, you are likely contagious for a day before the onset of symptoms and several more once they subside. That means an infected person can spread the flu one day before they experience symptoms. You can spread it and not know it, especially if you did not know that the person you encountered was infected with the flu.

You are the most contagious when your symptoms peak, which is days two through four. It’s possible that you can continue to spread the virus until symptoms go away completely, though. Basically, you are no longer contagious once your symptoms are gone entirely. You can expedite your recovery through various alternative remedies or over-the-counter (OTC) flu medications. Just keep in mind that those OTCs that only lower fever will not help you get over your sickness faster or make you less contagious. They only make you more comfortable and able to deal with symptoms.

A sore throat can be very uncomfortable and, more than anything, you want it to go away before the symptoms start to get worse. The primary symptoms of a sore throat are pain and irritation, especially when swallowing. When the immune system encounters bacteria or viruses, it inflames the mucous membranes in the throat. 

What Causes A Sore Throat?

A sore throat involves scratchiness, pain, or irritation in the throat. It is usually attributed to a viral infection, such as a cold or flu, and it usually resolves on its own. Strep throat, however, is a less common type of sore throat that requires treatment with antibiotics to prevent serious complications. Typically, bacterial infections do not cause sore throats as much as viral infections do. 

This article details eight natural remedies that may help reduce pain associated with sore throat. Possible remedies include honey, lemon water, peppermint tea, herbs, and more. Continue reading to see which remedy is best for you. 

Apple Cider Vinegar

The Ancient Greek physician Hippocrates prescribed a combo of honey and apple cider vinegar, oxymel, to help treat flu symptoms, including sore throat. Apple cider vinegar is a natural health tonic that is a common ingredient in various alternative medicinal remedies. The active ingredient is acetic acid, which works to fight bacteria. Drink one cup of warm water mixed with one tablespoon of apple cider vinegar. Don’t just take shots of apple cider vinegar, as that can lead to acid reflux

Gargle With Salt Water

Gargling with salt water is a classic remedy for relieving sore throat pain. The salt works to pull water out of the throat tissues, which may help reduce swelling. It may also help to kill harmful microbes in the throat. Combine one cup of warm water with one teaspoon of salt and stir to dissolve before gargling. Try to gargle for 30 seconds once per hour. 

Licorice Root

Licorice root exhibits similar properties to aspirin in that it may help reduce sore throat pain. It also offers antiviral, antibacterial, and anti-inflammatory properties. At this time, there isn’t a lot of research about how licorice root may relieve sore throat pain. One older study, however, found that gargling with licorice water before surgery reduced the risk of getting a sore throat by 50%, compared to gargling with standard sugar water. 

Ginger Tea

Ginger is an antibacterial and anti-inflammatory spice that works to soothe an upset stomach and relieve throat pain. Some laboratory studies found that ginger extract may kill certain viruses and bacteria that cause respiratory illnesses. Ginger may also reduce inflammation in tuberculosis patients. Although ginger tea is readily available in most grocery stores, you can easily make your own with boiling water, raw ginger root, a squeeze of lemon, and some honey for sweetness. 

Marshmallow Root

Throughout history, people have used extracts from the marshmallow plant to treat sore throats. The root contains mucilage, a gelatin-like substance that lubricates and coats the throat after you swallow it. According to research, lozenges containing marshmallow root were effective at soothing dry cough in animals. You can make marshmallow root-infused water by placing one ounce of marshmallow root in a cheesecloth inside a bottle with one liter of cold water. 

Honey

Typically used to sweeten herbal teas, honey may help soothe a sore throat on its own. Honey contains anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and antimicrobial properties that may help combat viruses or bacteria. It is especially effective when you combine it with warm water and apple cider vinegar. For the best results, opt for raw organic honey or Manuka honey, as those are the purest forms. 

Coconut Oil

What is this popular skin and hair care ingredient doing on a list of ingredients that help remedy sore throat? Well, some studies suggest that coconut oil may fight infection and reduce inflammation in exposed areas. Coconut oil works to lubricate mucous membranes in the throat, which may provide mild relief from irritation. Add a spoonful of coconut oil to hot tea, soup, or put a spoonful in your mouth and allow it to melt and coat the throat. 

Lemon Water

Not only is lemon water a refreshing beverage, but it may also reduce throat pain that occurs during a cold or flu. Lemons are naturally rich in vitamin C and other antioxidants, which work to fight inflammation and oxidative stress. Lemon also helps to increase the amount of saliva that the body produces, which can help keep the throat lubricated. Maximize the benefits of lemon water by combining lemon with warm water and a little honey.

The post DIY Strengthening Nail Serum For Brittle Nails appeared first on Dherbs - The Best All Natural Herbal Remedies & Products.

Changing weather, washing dishes, gel manicures and excessive nail polish use can wreak havoc on your fingernails. You may experience dry, brittle, or weak nails that easily split. Fortunately, you do not have to live with these nail issues. Take matters into your own hands and use the homemade strengthening nail serum in this article to help repair nails. With just a few simple ingredients, you can make this serum!

What Causes Nails To Become Weak?

The nails are made up of keratin, which is a protein that is also found in skin and hair. As you get older, the body starts to produce keratin at a slower rate, which can cause nails to appear dry, dull, or even brittle. As mentioned previously, though, a number of factors influence nail health. Extreme weather, excessive hand washing, or contact with chemicals can leave nails dry and vulnerable. 

Signs Of Damaged Nails

Although the signs may vary, you may want to take better care of your nails if you experience the following signs:

  • Changes in nail thickness
  • Peeling nails
  • Nail discoloration (yellow nails, or nails with white or dark spots)
  • Changes in nail shape (ridges or curled nails)

You can strengthen your nails with various natural remedies, such as moisturizing daily or ditching nail polish removers that contain acetone. The following ingredients in this strengthening nail serum help encourage healthier nails

Vitamin E Oil

Anyone with brittle, ridged, or yellow nails will find that vitamin E oil is highly beneficial. Vitamin E oil helps to hydrate and protect nails, fighting off bacteria and viruses. It also works to widen blood vessels, which means that it helps make your nails stronger and healthier with less ridges. Vitamin E oil also works to repair damage done by harsh nail polish removers. You can apply vitamin E oil to your nails and cuticle beds for maximum benefits. Plus, it helps to increase moisture to the nail bed and skin around the nails. 

Jojoba Oil

Regular application of jojoba oil can help boost the moisture content of your nail plates, making your nails less prone to flakiness. You may sometimes notice a whitish or yellowish accumulation under the nail if you have psoriasis. Jojoba oil may help thicken the nails, which works to restore your nails to a healthier state. If the keratin in your nail beds break down, you can experience splitting or breakage. Jojoba oil can help strengthen the nails, helping them become less brittle when they are exposed to harsh products or extreme conditions. 

Essential Oils

There are many essential oils that can help strengthen weak or brittle nails. Naturally, the serum in this article does not contain all of those essential oils, but it does contain lemon, lavender, frankincense, and myrrh essential oils. Lemon essential oil hydrates and strengthens the nail, helping to improve their natural shine. Lavender essential oil is excellent for cuticle care and boosts the skin’s firmness and elasticity. Frankincense essential oil has anti-fungal properties that help fight fungi, which can slow nail growth, and also adds moisture to nail beds and cuticles. Finally, myrrh essential oil is one of the best oils for keeping nails healthy and strong. It works to protect your nail beds from becoming brittle and thin. 

DIY Strengthening Nail Serum

Ingredients:

  • 1.25 teaspoons jojoba oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon vitamin E oil
  • 5 drops each: lemon, lavender, frankincense, and myrrh essential oils

Instructions:

  • Add all of the ingredients to a 10-milliliter glass bottle with a rollerball top. Screw on the top and shake well to combine. 
  • This is a 10% dilution of essential oils, which may be greater than you are used to, so feel free to reduce the amount of essential oil drops you use if you have more sensitive skin or nails. 
  • Apply two to three times per week, shaking before each use.

Can Acupuncture Help Restless Leg Syndrome? https://www.dherbs.com/articles/can-acupuncture-help-restless-leg-syndrome/ Sat, 17 Aug 2024 09:13:00 +0000 https://www.dherbs.com/?p=171218

Current research is limited, but some studies indicate that acupuncture may be an effective treatment for people with restless leg syndrome.

The post Can Acupuncture Help Restless Leg Syndrome? appeared first on Dherbs - The Best All Natural Herbal Remedies & Products.

]]>

Restless leg syndrome, which is a neurological condition that causes the uncontrollable urge to move your legs, affects about 10% of Americans. It is common to experience this urge in an uncomfortable situation because moving eases tension temporarily. Most people tend to experience this restlessness in the morning or evening hours. It can begin at any age and usually worsens with age. 

It is possible to manage restless leg syndrome with some self-care methods and alternative remedies, one of which is acupuncture. Acupuncture is the practice of puncturing the skin with tiny needles at specific anatomical points in the body. Acupuncturists use this integrative medicine to help relieve joint pain, muscle soreness, and improve energy flow within the body. Although acupuncture is not a scientifically-proven treatment for restless leg syndrome, some research indicates that it may benefit the condition.

Can Acupuncture Reduce Symptoms Of Restless Leg Syndrome?

Existing research indicates that some people with restless leg syndrome benefit from acupuncture treatment. The primary benefits include improved sleep quality, relief of pain and discomfort, and reduced restless leg sensations. Health experts consider acupuncture to be an alternative or complementary treatment for restless leg syndrome.

A 2021 review of studies found that acupuncture was an effective treatment for people with restless leg syndrome. That review called for more high quality studies to continue the research on the benefits of acupuncture. A 2023 study analyzed data collected between 2007 and 2022. Researchers noted that participants with restless leg syndrome who received acupuncture experienced significant improvements in sleep quality and other factors. 

Are There Drawbacks Of Acupuncture For Restless Leg Syndrome?

At this time, there is not enough scientifically-backed evidence to support acupuncture as a treatment option for restless leg syndrome. It does provide benefits, but major U.S. medical institutions don’t back it as a treatment. That’s why most insurance providers don’t cover acupuncture for restless leg syndrome. They may cover it for other conditions with more research, though. 

That ultimately means that people with restless leg syndrome who want to experiment with acupuncture will have to pay out of pocket. Depending on where you live, a licensed practitioner is not always easy to find. Some metropolitan areas, however, offer a plethora of acupuncturists, or other alternative medicine professionals that offer similar services. If you decide to try the treatment, you may experience mild soreness, which is temporary. To minimize potential risks, see a licensed professional. 

Acupuncture Pressure Points For Restless Legs

If you do not like needles, perhaps you can experiment with acupressure massage points. You can try stimulating the following pressure points with your hands or gua sha stones. Those pressure points are:

  • Xuhai (SP10): This point is located on the back of your inner thigh about two inches above the kneecap. 
  • Zusanli (ST36): You’ll find this point about two inches below the front of your kneecap and about a half inch toward the inside of the calf. 
  • Shenshu (BL23): You can find this point on either side of your lumbar vertebra on your back, at the midpoint between the bottom of your ribs and belly button. 
  • Chenshan (BL57): This point is at the bottom of the calf muscle in the depression that forms when you point your toes. 
  • Taixi (KD3): This point is located between the Achilles tendon and ankle bone on the inside of the leg. 
  • Sanyinjiao (SP6): This point is on the inside of your leg roughly two inches above the ankle bone. 

Acupuncture is a healing practice that many people use as an alternative remedy for pain management. Although it may not treat restless leg syndrome, it may help relieve symptoms. Existing research is promising, but more research is necessary to get a better understanding of its efficacy as a treatment option.

The post 5 Home Remedies For Nausea appeared first on Dherbs - The Best All Natural Herbal Remedies & Products.

]]>

Just like anything in life, there is no magic, cure-all solution to immediately fix feelings of nausea. Your first course of action is to determine the cause of the problem. That can make it easier to choose the right natural remedy. Even if you don’t fully know why your stomach is upset, the natural remedies in this article may still provide relief. A few common causes of nausea are detailed below.

Motion Sickness 

Some people are very susceptible to motion sickness, no matter the mode of transportation. If you are traveling by car, get out for some fresh air to help relieve nausea. You can’t necessarily roll down the window on a plane or train, though. Motion sickness occurs when the inner ear, brain, and eyes receive mixed signals and cannot properly communicate with each other. You experience nausea as a result.

Pregnancy Nausea

It’s likely that you cannot wait to meet your bun in the oven, but that cute baby can cause some serious nausea. Pregnant women may experience morning sickness during the first trimester. It usually goes away after the early stages of pregnancy, but some women can experience it throughout all three trimesters. 

Cancer Drugs

Patients receiving chemotherapy, radiation, and conventional cancer treatments tend to get nauseous. These drugs are very hard on the body and can affect certain parts of the brain that control vomiting. Experts state that chemo drugs may irritate the stomach and gastrointestinal tract. Nearly 80% of chemo patients experience nausea. 

Food Poisoning

Sometimes, you just know when food poisoning is gonna hit. Something you ate was off, but it can also creep up out of nowhere. Suffice to say that food poisoning is no fun and it can cause serious nausea, indigestion, and vomiting. It occurs when you ingest harmful microbes, viruses, bacteria, or certain chemicals. 

Once you know the cause of your nausea, you can have an easier time choosing the right remedy. Below, you’ll find five natural remedies to relieve nausea. 

Essential Oils

There are various essential oils that may help relieve nausea. Peppermint essential oil is one of the most popular oils for nausea relief, but lemon is also helpful, especially during pregnancy. These oils have antimicrobial properties that work to fight harmful pathogens when you inhale their aromas. A 2021 study involved cancer patients who applied peppermint oil below their noses for nausea relief. A separate controlled group only used anti-nausea medication. The peppermint group experienced less nausea and vomiting than the other group. 

Ginger

Whether you have a sore throat, nausea, or upset stomach, ginger may be the right natural remedy for the job. Ginger tea, ginger chews, and fresh ginger all work well at relieving various types of nausea, including pregnancy nausea. The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) recommends ginger as a safe alternative to nausea drugs in pregnancy. Some studies have found that ginger is more effective at relieving nausea than dimenhydrinate, an antiemetic drug. 

Move It (If You Can)

If you experience nausea from a stomach ache or overeating, exercise may help. A gentle workout, such as yoga or walking, increases circulation to your muscles and organs, including the ones that aid digestion. That boost of circulation may help improve digestion, which can then help relieve nausea. Just make sure to avoid bending over, as that will not feel good. 

Acupuncture

Acupuncture and acupressure work their magic by activating energy meridians in the body. During an acupuncture appointment, the acupuncturist administers thin needles to specific points in the body. One of the most popular nausea pressure points is on the hand, between the thumb and index finger. If you do not want to engage in acupuncture, you can apply pressure in this area for three to four minutes per side and repeat as needed. Sea Bands may also work to relieve nausea, as they are bracelets that apply pressure to an anti-nausea point on the inside of the wrist. 

Peppermint Tea

Similar to peppermint essential oil, peppermint tea may help ease nausea. It is safe to drink, even for children, and may also help relieve digestive problems, such as gas, bloating, or irritable bowel syndrome. If you have acid reflux, try not to consume a lot of mint, though, as it can relax the esophageal sphincter and worsen symptoms.
