Vomiting is generally caused by an infection in the stomach or by eating and drinking contaminated or stale food and drinks. It also occurs in early pregnancy. Pain in the abdomen, diarrhea, constipation and fever accompanies vomiting. Severe vomiting may lead to dehydration, especially in children.

Remedies:

• One teaspoonful (5ml) of lemon juice three times a day with a pinch of salt can curb vomiting.
• One teaspoonful (5gm) of cardamom powder three times a day with hot water is helpful too.
• For vomiting with abdominal pain, one teaspoonful of lemon juice with one gram of asafetida powder is helpful. Also one teaspoonful (2.5gm) of nutmeg powder with buttermilk or curd is an effective cure.
• For vomiting with fever, take one teaspoonful (5ml) of lemon juice and half a teaspoonful (2.5ml) of ginger juice with a pinch of salt.
