Home Remedy #1: Breathe Slowly and Deeply
An easy approach to controlling nausea is to breathe slowly and deeply. When signs of nausea appear, stand or sit still. Take a slow and deep breath through the nose to the count of three. Do not be quick to breathe out. Instead, hold your breath to another count of three. Thereafter, release your breath slowly through the mouth over a count of three.
If necessary, you can repeat this breathing exercise three or four times and you will be amazed how effective this can be at relieving nausea. Many research studies have found that slow, controlled breathing helps to reduce nausea in about 62 percent of the cases.
