Chewing raw ginger or drinking ginger tea is a common home remedy for nausea suffering, for example, pregnant women. Eating ginger prevents nausea and the urge to vomit, even in the form of sweets or pills.

In another study, 83% of women who took ginger capsules got better symptoms of menstrual pain compared to 47% of those who received a placebo.
