Guest guest Posted December 30, 2002 Report Share Posted December 30, 2002 Nausea or feeling queasy is a warning sign for several reasons. blood sugar is too high, or too low sodium content in your blood is too high dehydration kidney problems liver problems gallbladder problems pancreatitis Taking some drugs can also cause nausea to set in. Try taking them with food to alleviate the queasy feelings. Sometimes just being tired will make you feel queasy and lightheaded. Nausea can be helped by drinking or eating ground ginger; ginger is a natural remedy for nausea problems. Sources of ginger: Ginger snap cookies Ginger tea Ginger ale Ground ginger (spice) When I am feeling nauseous, I can usually ward it off with this combination: Hot ginger tea made with ginger ale instead of water. If you do not have "ginger tea", you can make your own with regular Lipton Tea (or any brand). Use one tea bag per 8 ounces of liquid (ginger ale is preferred). You do not want it to be a strong tea. Pour boiling ginger ale over tea bag. Let steep 2 minutes only. Remove tea bag and sweeten with a bit of sugar or honey, you can add a touch of cinnamon as well. If you do not have any ginger ale, use water to steep the one regular tea bag and add 1/4 teaspoon of ground ginger to the tea. I dip my ginger snap cookies in the hot tea. Usually helps me regain my tummy. "Rion" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
