Hey, sKewL...

...have you heard of using the spice ginger for nausea? Many people say it works better than drugs. I've had killer hangovers to the point I felt I was gonna die, puke, or both. Twenty minutes after taking a quarter teaspoon of ginger I was "well." I also go out in boats, and it keeps me from feeling queasy.

My wife is prone to carsickness on windy roads, but never if she takes ginger before the trip. It's amazing stuff.

From Pub Med:
RESULTS: Five randomized trials including a total of 363 patients were pooled for analysis of preventing postoperative nausea and vomiting and postoperative vomiting. The summary relative risks of ginger for postoperative nausea and vomiting and postoperative vomiting were 0.69 (95% confidence interval 0.54 to 0.89) and 0.61 (95% confidence interval 0.45 to 0.84), respectively. Only one side effect, abdominal discomfort, was reported. CONCLUSIONS: This meta-analysis demonstrates that a fixed dose at least 1 g of ginger is more effective than placebo for the prevention of postoperative nausea and vomiting and postoperative vomiting. Use of ginger is an effective means for reducing postoperative nausea and vomiting.
