Three Kitchen Staples That Can Help Relieve Common Ailments Naturally

5) Slow Sip for Mild Nausea

Nausea makes everything feel off—food smells stronger, the room warmer, you feel clammy. Even water seems unappealing. Some people find a warm lemon drink soothing when their stomach is unsettled, especially if they want something simple and not too sweet. Try warm water with a squeeze of lemon. Add a tiny pinch of black pepper and salt if you like, but be cautious—pepper can be warming but may irritate some stomachs. Sip slowly; gulping can make nausea worse.
