8. Muscle Relaxation
Studies have shown that it is possible to reduce nausea by relaxing the muscles. It’s called progressive muscle relaxing and is used to treat both physical and mental conditions. The muscles are tensed and then relaxed repeatedly. It can help the body to relax, and also the mind.
Massages can achieve the same results. The stimulation and concentration helps to distract the mind from the cause of the nausea. Musclerelaxation resets the body, and may even make nausea disappear. Many doctors and massage therapists use this technique.
This remedy is often used by patients who are receiving chemotherapy to treat nausea. This remedy can be used for morning sickness, especially in pregnant women and people recovering from surgery.
