How to Stop Throwing Up And Ways to Find Nausea Relief
You may be able to help reduce nausea and vomiting by eating a bland diet, taking medication, or using herbal supplements like ginger. If vomiting lasts a long time, it may be an emergency.
Nausea is a queasiness or general sickness of the stomach during which you may or may not vomit. Vomiting can be a response to nausea and your body's effort to get rid of viruses, bacteria, and harmful substances.
Whether due to a hangover, motion sickness, or an illness, nausea and vomiting may be treated at home with a few universal remedies.
Read on for ways to stop vomiting and nausea, as well as signs for when it may be best to see a doctor for further treatment.
What causes nausea?
Nausea may be related to different causes and conditions. These may include but are not limited to:
motion sickness
gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD)
migraine
morning sickness
medication side effects, such as those from chemotherapy drugs
food poisoning
food allergies
intestinal infections, or gastroenteritis
ulcers
intestinal obstruction
stress and anxiety
What causes vomiting?
While it's possible to feel nauseated without throwing up, nausea may sometimes be a precursor to vomiting.
The causes of vomiting are often the same as the causes of your underlying nausea. This may include acute illnesses such as gastroenteritis or long-term concerns such as GERD.
Your brain – not your stomach – tells your body when to vomit. Throwing up is often your body's way of removing a damaging substance, such as viruses.
It's also possible to feel queasy and not vomit. Although in some cases, nausea may go away after vomiting.
How can you try to stop vomiting in children?
Vomiting in children is commonly caused by viral illnesses and doesn't necessarily require medical treatment unless the vomiting is severe.
In general, you can help reduce vomiting by modifying your child's diet. As a rule of thumb, you may want to avoid solid foods for up to 8 to 24 hours and instead offer:
ice chips
water
electrolyte solutions
popsicles
pudding
jello
yogurt
applesauce
A modified diet can also help prevent your child from becoming dehydrated. Eating solid foods may induce more vomiting, leading to further dehydration.
For this reason, a pediatrician may recommend a liquid diet for 8 to 24 hours. Talk with your pediatrician if your child is also vomiting up fluids.
Also, you should have your child lay on their side to minimize the chance of them inhaling vomit into their airways.
Always speak to your child's doctor or a healthcare professional before giving them medications and alternative treatments.
When to seek emergency care for a vomiting child
Seek care immediately if your child is vomiting and has any of these symptoms:
has a sudden and severe stomach pain
is a baby who is floppy, irritable, or less responsive
has a headache, a stiff neck, and a rash
may have swallowed something poisonous
there's blood in the vomit, or the vomit looks like ground coffee
the vomit is green or yellow-green
has a stiff neck and pain when looking at bright lights
What medications can stop vomiting?
Further treatment for vomiting will depend on the underlying cause. Unless you know the exact cause of vomiting, you should avoid taking medications without talking with a doctor first.
Over-the-counter (OTC) medications such as antiemetics may sometimes be used to stop upset stomach, nausea, and vomiting. OTC medications for nausea can include Pepto-Bismol and Kaopectate, which contain bismuth subsalicylate.
These medications help protect the stomach lining and reduce vomiting caused by food poisoning, among other causes.
Other types of antiemetics, such as OTC antihistamines or H1 blockers, such as dimenhydrinate (Dramamine) and meclizine (Bonine, Travel-Ease), may help stop vomiting caused by motion sickness.
They work by blocking the H1 histamine receptors responsible for stimulating vomiting. Side effects of antihistamines may include:
dry mouth
blurred vision
drowsiness
Before taking any OTC medications for nausea and vomiting, consider the following:
Only take the recommended dosage on the product label.
Do not take more than one antiemetic medication at the same time, as they may share similar active ingredients.
Do not give bismuth subsalicylate products to children under 12 years old.
Do not give bismuth subsalicylate (Pepto Bismol-type products) to children or teens with the flu or chickenpox, as this can increase their risk for Reye's syndrome.
Ask a doctor or pharmacist about potential drug interactions if you take other OTC or prescription medications, such as blood thinners.
Ask a doctor or pharmacist if antiemetic medications are safe if you have certain underlying conditions, such as heart disease, asthma, or thyroid disease.
Eat bland foods and crackers
Dry crackers, such as soda crackers or saltines, are a tried-and-true remedy for nausea. They are thought to help absorb stomach acids.
For morning sickness, try eating a few crackers before getting out of bed to help settle your stomach.
Other bland foods like dry toast or white rice are also good to eat while recovering from a stomach bug.
Avoid eating spicy or fatty foods that could further irritate your stomach.
It's also important that you continue to drink enough fluids to help prevent dehydration as you start eating bland solid foods.
Try deep breathing
Take deep breaths by breathing air through your nose and into your lungs. Your abdomen should expand as you breathe in. Exhale slowly through your mouth or nose and relax your belly after each breath.
Repeat this several times. You can use the image below to help pace yourself.
A 2020 study suggested that taking deep, controlled breaths may be beneficial in reducing how often people undergoing cancer treatments experienced nausea and vomiting.
According to a 2022 review, this may be attributed to the effects of deep breathing from the diaphragm, which can activate the parasympathetic nervous system.
Deep breathing may also help calm anxiety that may occur when you're feeling sick.
Wrist acupressure for vomiting
Acupressure is a popular traditional Chinese medicine remedy that may also help alleviate feelings of nausea and subsequent vomiting. It uses pressure to stimulate certain points of the body to relieve symptoms.
Wrist acupressure may be preferred by people who may not want to eat or drink anything due to nausea.
Applying pressure to pressure point Neiguan (P-6), a spot on the palm side of the forearm near your wrist, may help relieve nausea and vomiting.
To massage this pressure point:
Place three fingers across the wrist.
Put your thumb under your index finger.
Rub this point in a firm, circular motion for two to three minutes.
Repeat on the other wrist.
Drink more fluids
If you're vomiting a lot, it's critical to drink plenty of fluids to help prevent dehydration, even if you vomit some of them back up. Sip the fluids slowly. Drinking too much at one time when your stomach is upset may cause more vomiting.
Fluids that help keep you hydrated and may ease nausea can include:
herbal or mint tea
lemonade
water
You can also suck on ice chips or popsicles to stay hydrated.
If a doctor believes you're dehydrated due to vomiting, they may provide you with intravenous (IV) fluids.
Try ginger, fennel, or cloves
Pregnant people, children, and those with medical conditions should speak with a healthcare professional before using herbal remedies.
Ginger
Ginger supplements have been one of the most widely studied remedies for nausea and vomiting.
According to research, ginger is likely safe and effective for preventing and treating nausea and vomiting in during pregnancy and for people undergoing chemotherapy.
The review also suggested that ginger's active ingredients, gingerols and shogaols, can help speed up stomach emptying and reduce morning sickness.
Still, if you're pregnant or breastfeeding, it's best to check with a doctor first before using ginger or any other supplement.
You can try sipping a cup of warm ginger tea slowly when nausea strikes. Or, slowly eat a small piece of fresh ginger root or candied ginger.
You can also make fresh ginger tea by adding a teaspoon of freshly grated ginger root to one cup of boiling water. Steep to desired strength. You can strain the tea before drinking if you prefer.
Fennel
Fennel seeds are thought to help calm the digestive tract. Animal studies suggest that fennel may help promote healthy digestion, but human studies on fennel for relief from vomiting are lacking.
Still, anecdotal evidence suggests it may be worth sipping a cup of fennel tea the next time nausea strikes.
To make fennel tea, add about a teaspoon of fennel seeds to one cup of boiling water. Steep to desired strength and strain before drinking.
Cloves
Cloves have been used as a folk remedy for nausea and vomiting.
A 2021 study in China wasn't able to confirm such benefits more broadly, but you can still try cloves either topically or as a tea if a doctor gives you the go-ahead.
To make clove tea, add one cup of boiling water to a teaspoon or so of cloves. Steep to desired strength and strain before drinking.
Can aromatherapy help stop nausea and vomiting?
Aromatherapy may help relieve nausea and vomiting, although studies on its effectiveness are mixed.
To practice aromatherapy, try deep breathing with an open essential oil bottle, an essential oil diffuser, or add a few drops to a cotton ball.
Scents that are believed to have an effect on nausea can include:
clove
lemon
ginger
lavender
chamomile
rose
fennel
peppermint
If you have asthma or another respiratory condition, ask your doctor before diffusing essential oils. According to the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma, and Immunology (AAAI), using essential oils may increase breathing difficulties in some people.
When to see a doctor
Not all cases of nausea and vomiting require a visit to a doctor, especially if the symptoms are mild and temporary. However, you should call a doctor if:
You or your child vomits for more than 24 hours.
There's blood in your vomit.
You have signs of dehydration, such as infrequent urination, dark urine, and dry mouth.
Vomiting comes and goes for more than a month.
You're losing weight from long-term nausea and vomiting.
When vomiting is an emergency
Sometimes vomiting can be a sign of an emergency situation. If you experience any of the following symptoms along with nausea and vomiting, have someone bring you to a hospital or contact local emergency medical services.
These symptoms can include:
chest pain
severe abdominal pain
blurred vision
dizziness or fainting
high fever
stiff neck
cold, clammy, pale skin
severe headache
being unable to keep food or liquids down for 12 hours
Additionally, you should seek help right away if you think your symptoms are related to poisoning. Get help from the Poison Control Center online or call (800) 222-1222.

Nutritionists Are Warning That This Very Popular Food Habit Might Actually Be An Eating Disorder In Disguise
Spend more than 30 seconds on TikTok, and you'll hear fitness influencers sing the praises of intermittent fasting. This eating plan is touted as a 'lifestyle change' rather than a diet, where people consume calories on a 16:8 plan (fast for 16 hours; eat normally for eight hours), a 5:2 plan (eat normally for five days; fast for two days) or another variation. The purported benefits of intermittent fasting are numerous: It can curb late-night eating, reduce inflammation, lower your risk of chronic diseases like diabetes and cardiovascular disease, improve gut health and, of course, lead to weight loss. But for folks who may be affected by disordered eating, intermittent fasting could lead down a slippery slope. An estimated 9% of the U.S. — or about 28.8 million people — will have an eating disorder in their lifetimes. While eating disorders like anorexia nervosa and bulimia must meet specific diagnostic criteria outlined in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, disordered eating can apply to anyone with body image issues, dieting and/or psychological distress around food. People with disordered eating behaviors might hide in plain sight behind popular diets and wellness trends like intermittent fasting, which provides the perfect cover for restrictive eating. It's A Socially Acceptable Disguise Most people would be concerned to hear a friend say they were starving themselves, but no one bats an eye with intermittent fasting. 'Intermittent fasting can sometimes serve as a socially acceptable disguise for disordered eating behaviors,' said registered dietitian nutritionist Becky Mehr, director of outpatient nutrition at The Renfrew Center, a network of eating disorder treatment facilities. 'While it is often marketed as a tool for weight loss, improving metabolic health or simplifying eating patterns, it can become problematic — especially for those with a history of eating disorders,' she said. Mehr explained that because scheduled fasting requires skipping meals and ignoring hunger cues, it'll hide your disordered eating without raising concern. In fact, it could promote the opposite: praise for weight loss or 'perceived discipline' that could reinforce harmful behaviors. Mehr adds, 'Our bodies are not machines or calculators — they don't thrive on rigid calorie restrictions or time-bound nourishment.' Is It Worth the Risk? Related: People Are Revealing The Homemade Food Items That Cost Less And Taste Better Than Store-Bought, And I'm Taking Copious Notes Dr. Anne Marie O'Melia, chief clinical and quality officer at the Eating Recovery Center, told HuffPost, 'For individuals who are genetically and environmentally vulnerable to developing eating disorders, any form of caloric restriction or adherence to rigid food rules — including intermittent fasting — significantly increases their risk.' In fact, recent research has shown that many young women who participated in intermittent fasting had traits of eating disorder behaviors such as overeating, binge eating, vomiting, laxative use, compulsive exercise and fasting. 'We know that dieting and restriction are the number one predictors of eating disorder onset, particularly in adolescents and young adults,' O'Melia explained. 'The promise of short-term benefits like weight loss or metabolic changes pales in comparison to the real and devastating risks: Eating disorders have significant psychiatric and medical consequences, and the highest mortality rate among mental illnesses.' Intermittent fasting 'may seem harmless or even beneficial at first, but for too many people, it is a gateway into long-term, life-threatening struggles with food and body,' she added. Bottom line: The potential benefits of intermittent fasting do not outweigh the risks of developing or worsening an eating disorder. Look At Your Mindset Related: If Your Fruit And Vegetable Knowledge Is Actually Good, Prove It By Getting 22/27 Of These Questions Right So how do you know if it's safe to try intermittent fasting? Our experts shared that it's all in your head — or, more specifically, in your mindset. 'The key difference lies in mindset, intent and impact on daily life,' Mehr said. If you are able to do intermittent fasting without obsessive thoughts about food or body image, and without rigid food rules that impair your daily functioning, then it might be OK. For everyone else, it can quickly spiral into disordered eating. This might look like 'experiencing intense anxiety about breaking 'rules,' obsessing over food, feeling shame about eating, avoiding social events involving food or using fasting as a way to control weight at all costs,' according to O'Melia. 'No one sets out thinking, 'I want to develop an eating disorder,' but for individuals with certain genetic, psychological and environmental risk factors, seemingly healthy choices can inadvertently lead to dangerous patterns,' O'Melia said. Signs intermittent fasting is triggering disordered eating include: Compensatory behaviors, like excessive exercise or purging. Avoiding social meals that don't fall in your eating window. Increasing preoccupation with food, body image or weight. Low energy, mood disturbances, sleep issues or trouble concentrating. Only eating 'safe' or 'healthy' foods. Eating in isolation; secrecy or hiding of eating behaviors. Binge eating symptoms, feeling of loss of control when eating. Feeling anxiety, guilt or shame if you eat outside your 'allowed' window. Experiencing medical issues such as fainting, amenorrhea, GI distress, or fatigue, dizziness, weakness, irritability or obsessional thinking about food. Negative or emotionally reactive responses to expressions of concern about changes in behavior. Any additional or increasing behaviors that can be associated with eating disorders, such as laxative use, changes in exercise patterns, developing food rules about the types of food eaten rather than just the times that food is eaten. If fasting starts to feel like an obligation instead of a choice — or affects your ability to enjoy life — it may be time to reevaluate. 'It's critical to remember that the human body is incredibly complex — and it thrives when treated with compassion, not punishment,' O'Melia said. Who Shouldn't Do Intermittent Fasting? 'Most people' should not do intermittent fasting, Mehr said, and 'especially those with a history of eating disorders, mental health struggles or nutrient deficiencies.' O'Melia added, 'Anyone with a personal history or a significant family history of an eating disorder, disordered eating, body dysmorphia, significant anxiety or depression, trauma history, or compulsive exercise patterns should avoid intermittent fasting.' If you have a fragile relationship with food and could be affected by self-imposed rules or restrictions around when you can eat, then intermittent fasting is not for you. 'Our bodies are designed to let us know when they need fuel,' Mehr explained. 'Ignoring those cues can lead to preoccupation with food, disrupted metabolism and emotional distress. [Intermittent fasting] is like telling someone to only use the bathroom during certain hours — it creates fixation, not freedom.' Our experts agreed that no one should do intermittent fasting without close guidance by their medical provider. Try This Instead Our experts were quick to slam any structured diet or food group restriction (other than for allergies). 'Eating should be a source of nourishment and pleasure, not a battleground,' O'Melia explained. 'I encourage patients to focus on balanced meals, variety, satisfaction and listening to their bodies.' Both experts recommend intuitive eating that listens to hunger and fullness cues. This includes eating a wide variety of foods without guilt (yes, desserts too!); respecting body diversity; participating in joyful movement; managing your stress and getting enough sleep; and centering mental, emotional and social health alongside physical health. And be gentle with yourself when unlearning toxic diet culture ideals. 'Food is not just fuel; it's joy, connection, culture and comfort,' Mehr said. 'A healthy eating pattern respects both your body's needs and your lived experience.' 'Instead of listening to external rules, we should be learning to trust our bodies,' Mehr added. 'All bodies are different. All bodies are valuable. And food should never be a source of shame or punishment.'

Coffee Could Be The Secret to Healthy Aging For Women, Scientists Discover
The daily ritual of imbibing a hot cup of freshly brewed and fragrant coffee isn't just good for the soul – it may be one of the ways to smooth the road to healthy aging for women. In a study of 47,513 women in the US with data spanning 30 years, scientists have found that long-term moderate coffee consumption in mid-life is positively correlated with the markers of healthy aging. "While past studies have linked coffee to individual health outcomes, our study is the first to assess coffee's impact across multiple domains of aging over three decades," says Sara Mahdavi, nutrition scientist at Harvard University and the University of Toronto. "The findings suggest that caffeinated coffee – not tea or decaf – may uniquely support aging trajectories that preserve both mental and physical function." To assess the long-term impact of a daily cuppa (or two) on aging, Mahdavi and her colleagues made a careful study of data collected as part of the Nurses' Health Study, a series of epidemiological studies that examine the long-term impacts of various factors on the health of nurses in the US. They examined health and dietary intake data collected since 1984, all the way up to 2016. Healthy aging was defined as living to 70 years or older, maintaining good physical function, staying free from 11 major chronic diseases, and with no cognitive, mental health, or memory impairment. The researchers also adjusted for other factors that might influence health, such as smoking, alcohol consumption, level of physical activity, and body-mass index. By 2016, the researchers identified 3,706 women who qualified as healthy agers. For this group, around 80 percent of their average daily caffeine intake came in the form of three small cups' worth of coffee. By contrast, tea and decaffeinated coffee were not associated with any of the markers of healthy aging; and cola intake was associated with a negative impact for the markers of healthy aging. In other words, coffee had a positive effect; tea and decaf were neutral; and cola had a negative effect. For the healthy agers, each additional cup of coffee, up to five small cups a day, boosted the odds of healthy aging by between 2 and 5 percent. For the cola drinkers, each cup per day reduced the odds of healthy aging by 20 to 26 percent. Of course, coffee isn't a magic bullet for your health; you should still look after yourself in other ways, Mahdavi says. "These results, while preliminary, suggest that small, consistent habits can shape long-term health. Moderate coffee intake may offer some protective benefits when combined with other healthy behaviors such as regular exercise, a healthy diet, and avoiding smoking," she explains. "While this study adds to prior evidence suggesting coffee intake may be linked with healthy aging, the benefits from coffee are relatively modest compared to the impact of overall healthy lifestyle habits and warrant further investigation." The research has been presented at the NUTRITION 2025 conference in Orlando, Florida.

What eating foods like dark chocolate and berries did to a study group of more than 120,000 people
A new study reveals what drinking tea and eating dark chocolate and berries did for a group of more than 120,000 people. Those foods, as well as fruits like grapes, apples, oranges, and beverages like red wine, all contain flavonoids, which are compounds found in many plant products. Flavonoids can 'help your body function more efficiently while protecting it against everyday toxins and stressors,' per Healthline. The study's authors said those who consumed a diverse range of foods containing flavonoids (such as berries, grapes and dark chocolate) 'could lower their risk of developing serious health conditions and have the potential to live longer,' in a news release. The study has been peer-reviewed. In the study, which was recently published in the journal Nature Food, researchers observed 124,805 participants between the ages of 40 and 70 from the UK Biobank, a large-scale database with biomedical information. The participants were tracked for roughly 10 years and their dietary information was collected using a questionnaire asking them about the frequency in which they ate approximately 200 types of food and 30 beverages. Dr. Benjamin Parmenter, a research fellow at Edith Cowan University in Australia, was the study's first author and co-lead. He said consuming roughly 500 mg of flavonoids a day or more was linked to a 16 per cent lower risk of 'all-cause mortality' (meaning death from any cause). It was also linked to a roughly 10 per cent lower risk of cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, and respiratory disease. A study published in 2025 in peer-reviewed food science journal Foods said, as it pertains to human health, 'flavonoids are recognized for their ability to combat aging, mitigate inflammation, safeguard the nervous system, and promote overall well-being.' However, in another study published in 2022 in the Nutrition Journal, researchers 'observed an increased risk of prostate cancer by higher intake of total flavonoids.' In a study published in 2016 in the Journal of Nutritional Science, researchers called for further studies on flavonoids so their usefulness 'in the diet could be improved for better human health.' 'Over 30 different types of flavonoids are regularly consumed in the human diet. These are found in different types of everyday foods,' Parmenter told National Post over email. A few squares of dark chocolate could be roughly 25 mg of flavonoids. One apple is equal to roughly 100 mg of flavonoids, while one orange is roughly 60 mg. For tea drinkers, one cup of black tea is roughly 300 mg of flavonoids, while the same amount of green tea is roughly 150 mg. 'We observed that consuming a higher quantity and wider diversity of dietary flavonoids, when consumed together, may represent the optimal approach for improving long-term health, compared with increasing either flavonoid quantity or diversity alone,' Parmenter said. Those with the highest flavonoid diversity were more likely to be female, older, have a lower body mass index (BMI), be more physically active and have a higher education and were less likely to be current smokers, according to the study. 'We also know from lab data and clinical studies that different flavonoids work in different ways, some improve blood pressure, others help with cholesterol levels and decrease inflammation,' said study co-lead professor Aedín Cassidy, per the news release. Cassidy is from the Co-Centre for Sustainable Food Systems and Institute for Global Food Security at Queen's University Belfast. The findings of the study show how 'simple and achievable dietary dietary swaps' can 'potentially improve health in the long-term,' she said. 'Dietary swaps, such as drinking more tea and eating more berries and apples for example, can help increase the variety and intake of flavonoid-rich foods, and potentially improve health in the long-term,' said Cassidy. According to researchers, no previous works appear to have reported on the human health benefits of a flavonoid-diverse diet. 'Consequently, replication of our findings in other cohorts and clinical trials will be critical, as will the exploration of flavonoid diversity with other disease outcomes. Interpretation, however, requires careful consideration,' said researchers, in the study. The study was led by researchers from Queen's University Belfast, Edith Cowan University Perth, and the Medical University of Vienna and Universitat Wien.
