1. Clean up your diet.

Most people will tell you to take a cup of ginger tea or chamomile tea if you have menstrual nausea, but the honest-to-God truth is that all you’re doing is putting a bandaid on the nausea with these remedies. You must get down to the root of the nausea – and it’s your diet.

By cleaning up your diet, you can also remove the nausea. What kinds of foods and beverages should you eliminate? Here’s a list:

• Alcohol
• Sugar
• Grains
• Trans fats
• Packaged foods
• Processed foods
• Processed meats
• Carbonated beverages, both sugar free and regular

Now this list may be most of your present diet! But really, if you’re eating these foods, it’s contributing to you ending up with a lot more than nausea during your period. You’re headed right for immune system dysfunction, metabolic syndrome, diabetes, dental cavities, cancer, and other degenerative disorders.

What will you replace these foods with? Here’s another list of what you can eat and drink:

• Protein foods such as beef, pork, turkey, chicken, lamb, buffalo, fish, eggs, shellfish, and dairy products
• Vegetables
• Legumes
• Fruits
• Nuts and seeds
• Avocado, olive oil and coconut oil
• Herbs and herb teas

Every meal looks like this: protein food, vegetables/legumes, fruits. Nuts and seeds are eaten in between meals.

2. Herbal Remedies

Colon cleanses, liver cleanses and a cup of chamomile/ginger tea can reduce nausea. The dosage of the colon cleanses and liver cleanses corresponds to what’s listed on the label of the product. Usually two capsules are taken three times a day for each of them over the course of six weeks.

Many people take a colon cleanse for a week and think they are done! Wrong! One week of cleansing won’t be enough time to clean out the colon that hasn’t been working properly for many weeks, months, or years. Six weeks is a minimum and sometimes people need up to six months to cleanse the colon because they are so constipated. For example, some people only have a bowel movement once a month! These people are the ones who will need a full six months of time for the colon cleanse.

After the six weeks, start slowly backing off the six capsules a day. For example, take five daily and see if you maintain good bowel function, which is a bowel movement after every meal. If you maintain good bowel function, decrease another capsule the next day. Continue until you don’t need them anymore.

3. Period Vitamin Supplement

A period vitamin supplement can also prevent menstrual nausea. This works because it fills in the gaps of your nutrition; different vitamin and mineral deficiencies can cause nausea during your period. Take your period vitamin in accordance with the instructions on the label. Record in your journal how long it takes to experience a relief of nausea.

4. Home Remedies

To relieve nausea from your period, always try a cup of ginger tea or a can of ginger ale. Purchase about 4 inches of ginger root from the grocery store. Slice about an inch of the root very thinly until you get about a tablespoon full. Place the ginger in a coffee cup, then add one cup boiling water. Let steep for five minutes. Then sip until you finish the cup. You may add honey and lemon to this tea.

5. Vitamins/Nutrients and their Dosages

50 mg vitamin B6 could possibly eliminate your nausea. However, what most sources on the internet won’t tell you is that a B complex should always be taken when you are taking one B vitamin in higher doses by itself. The B vitamins always work together, and it’s a rule in the field of nutrition that B vitamin deficiencies are never found singly; only with other B vitamin deficiencies. Thus, if you are taking a 50 mg vitamin B6, add another 50 mg B complex formula that contains 50 mg vitamin B1, B2, and B6. Usually vitamin B3 dosage is doubled that of vitamin B1, B2, and B6.

How to alleviate nausea during period is really just a matter of knowledge. And now you know how to do it.
