Nausea is a general term describing a queasy stomach, with or without the feeling that you are about to vomit. There are several things you can do on your own to help, including: • Drink beverages that settle the stomach, such as ginger ale or chamomile tea. • Avoid caffeinated colas, coffees and teas. • Drink clear liquids to avoid dehydration (if vomiting is associated with nausea). • Eat small, frequent meals to allow the stomach to digest foods gradually. • Eat foods that are bland and simple for your stomach to digest, such as crackers or unbuttered bread, rice, chicken soup and bananas.

Nausea gets its root from the Greek word for ship, naus, so it might have originally meant sea sickness in particular. Remembering this origin might help you spell nausea correctly too, since it ends with “sea.”

The word nauseated means “to be affected with nausea” or “to feel sick to your stomach.” Nauseous describes “something that causes a feeling of nausea.” These words have the same root word, nausea, a Latin word that refers specifically to seasickness.
