How to reduce nausea?

To reduce nausea, Andrew Huberman recommends several methods:

1. Ginger: Consuming 1 to 3 grams of ginger can significantly reduce nausea. This can be in the form of pills or capsules, and it adjusts the activity of neurons or changes the blood chemistry to alleviate nausea 1.

2. Peppermint: Similar to ginger, peppermint is also effective in reducing nausea 1.

3. Cannabis: Both THC and CBD have been shown to help reduce nausea. However, the legality and personal health considerations should be taken into account before using cannabis for this purpose 1.

4. Visual and Vestibular Coordination: When experiencing nausea, particularly motion sickness, it helps to coordinate your visual and vestibular systems. This can be achieved by not focusing your eyes too closely on objects and instead allowing your vision to synchronize with your physical movements. Looking towards the horizon or fixing your gaze on stable, distant objects when in a moving environment can also help 2.

For individuals experiencing severe nausea, such as from chemotherapy or similar treatments, consulting with healthcare providers before trying new remedies is important.
