Has anyone tried ginger for their nausea? I drink a lot of ginger tea when I get migraines so I thought it might help with withdrawal too. I was right! If you don't have ginger tea you can put a few tablespoons of ginger root or powdered ginger in boiling water. There's also a pure ginger pill than Gravol makes for motion sickness. None of it tastes great, but your stomach will thank you.

Ginger root works very well for nausea. I have 550mg ginger root capsules, and this has helped with a lot of the nausea and stomach upset. Sometimes I need to take gravol too, though, because the withdrawal nausea is way too much.

The gravol ginger medicine is a rip off; I'd totally recommend buying the ginger root in capsule form at the health food store. Mine was $8.99 for 100 capsules, and I will take 2-3 whenever my stomach is upset. And of course we can't forget ginger tea. It is soothing, relaxing, and will also help your stomach feel better.

Even it sounds disgusting, eating Ginger raw is the most effective way cured my nausea in 5-10 minutes

I'd recommend trying ginger ale -- not Canada Dry but the real strong stuff, sometimes labeled Jamaican ginger ale or ginger beer. It's sold in four-packs here, in the health food or imported section of the store. I've had "irritable bowel" problems for years and have found this is real medicine, with no downside I can see! It also works for nausea.
