Honey mixed with a bit of cinnamon to make a paste helped my daughter stop vomiting. She's 3 years old.

Black Tea With Honey

My roommate woke up at 4:30 in the morning and began vomiting, which lasted for hours. I bought her some raw honey and black tea. I don't know if it was the honey, the tea, or both together, but she hasn't thrown up since and her stomach feels much better. She still has horrible body aches and can't leave bed yet, but the honey and the tea definitely made her stomach feel better. Thanks for all of the posts!

E.C.'s onion juice remedy worked for me! I got what I assume to be food poisoning from sushi and couldn't stop vomiting. I would vomit every 20 minutes for over 4 hours. Finally, my boyfriend was looking up remedies to stop it and he found this one so he went out and got the simple ingredients and it worked! He had to force me to take it because I was so nauseous but I'm glad he did! Within in minutes I felt better! It burned really bad going down but it was worth it. I was good for another couple of hours when I started to feel like vomiting again, so he made me some more, I took it and went to bed. Great remedy!!!
Thank you!

Well...where do I start? First of all, please note that I am a huge believer in the benefits of ACV for some ailments. However, in prevention of the stomach "flu"...no way. I have been habitual user of ACV for the last six months. However, I just experienced the WORST flu ever! Out of my family of four, I had the most extreme symptoms. And in fact while I was vomiting, I thought I might die from the acid burning feeling traveling up my esphogus. I am laying off the ACV for now. If it works for you..great. Not for this gal anymore!

Have a 10 yr old son. Started vomiting at 4 in the am. Turned to dry heaves/bile and continued about every half-hour for the next 6 hours.
Tried the onion juice & peppermint tea. It did not work. He retched it back up within about 30 seconds. I would not recommend the onion.

Hi, my daughter was vomiting for almost an hour and I used the advice from here and gave her 1 tsp of raw honey and that stopped the vomiting instantly. I then gave her another tsp when she woke up for water and she has been right as rain since then. I took one as per another poster and I am going to take another one soon because I am beginning to feel the onset of a stomachache. I have used other advice on the site for a bad cold and I have to say it was well appreciated.

My six year old has been sick since yesterday, not being able to hold any liquids or food down. I saw the honey suggestion and remembered how my parents didn't have health care and used to do home remedies such as the use of honey, I tried it on the kid a walla! She finally resting. Thanks for the reminder.

This remedy worked like magic on 14 year old daughter. She vomitted several times. I tried giving here activated carbon with water, but she vomited it out after 5 to 10 minutes. Then I read your remedy of onion juice and tea. She drank it, and her vomitting stopped. I also read from another web site that plain water induces vomiting. So we should also refrain from drinking plain water, but drink tea instead.
Thank you!

Correction:
It's BRATT diet Bananas - Rice - Apple - Toast - Tea. You should never give soda for vomiting and everything in the BRATT diet should be closest to it's purest form with no additives, even salt and sugar, so plain cooked rice, plain toast with no butter, 100% juice, etc. I can attest to the fact that it works very well with diahrrea but Ive never heard of using it for vomiting.
My 6yo has been throwing up since midnight and it is now 8:02 am, she's thrown up 7 times and it's now just bile. I will try the BRATT diet and if ti DOESN'T work I'll write back. :)
Black Tea

That worked great! I am a single dad, with a 6 years old. He had been throwing up for 24 hrs, just sleep and throw up..., could not hold down anything. I was ready to take him to the doctor or emergency room when I found this site. I gave him a big spoon of raw honey that I bought a few months back from an independent honey maker, and gave him black tea. He went back to sleep, and after 1 hour he was up talking, back being himself... then I gave him another spoon and more tea. He has been playing nicely, very energetic. I can't believe that he has not had any real food for 1 day and 1/2, and just 2 spoons of raw honey got him back up and running! And I can't believe that he did not throw up, as he would vomit even a spoon of water! Thanks!!

i was just finishing a water fast done through 2 days straight, but the night before i was going to break the fast, i got so incredibly nauseous while sleeping. so nauseous in fact, that i actually dreamt i was in the first stages of pregnancy again, telling people "it's just morning sickness." when i woke up, i could barely move for fear of throwing up. i know that vomiting can be a part of fasting as the body is cleansed and detoxified, but this was ridiculous. i could barely move and even lying still i felt so sick.
finally i decided to google my symptoms and found that all of these people on this site really liked this turmeric cure. i thought how weird but i was ready to try anything. i'd already thrown up 4 times upon waking from 7 am - 10 am and i had my 3 small children to take care of, so i was desperate to feel well. i did 1 tsp in about 6 oz of warm water and just the smell threw me off, but i persisted and after only a couple of sips, my tummy felt settled down. i thought "weird that it would work so fast, but let's see..." so i drank the whole cup and about 15 minutes afterward i felt well enough to get the kiddos breakfast!! i even had an appetite again so i ate some simple things and now two hours later, i feel absolutely amazing!! i plan on telling everyone i know about this remedy and i plan to continue it 2x/day for today and tomorrow just to be on the safe side :D
EC: Thanks, Kim. Where are you reading on EC that people are taking turmeric for nausea or vomiting? It's not listed as a cure on either of those 2 pages!
Red Cordial
Posted by Kendall (Brisbane, Australia) on 04/14/2009
I would like to let everyone in a a little secret that has helped me through many a night of vomiting children. Red Cordial, I dont know why it works but it does. Make according to instructions on bottle, normally 1 part cordial to 5 parts water, let child sip 10mls every 10 minutes. Vomiting should be a distant memory after 30mins or so.
Activated Charcoal

I agree with this completely. My husband just had some serious stomach issues. He normally does not vomit in any way, but on the extreme rare occasion it is never good. So this time I had just bought Activated Charcoal just to get rid of toxins and I thought it might work for this. I looked it up on this website and saw that it would work, so I gave him two capsules of Activated Charcoal. He didn't vomit or have any more diarrea, he was doing both and feeling a lot of stomach pain before I gave it to him. He didn't feel purfect afterwards, but he did stop vomiting and diarrea. By the next day he was feeling fine.

Black Tea

Regarding the black tea for vomiting and nausea, I had a case of stomach flu that had me throwing up for four days. I couldn't stop and had the dry heaves. A friend told me to take regular tea bags (not black) and steep three of them in one cup of boiling water and sip it. It was very bitter, but it worked like a charm, and I didn't vomit after my first cup. Tea has a complicated chemistry, and some of the chemicals in tea relax the muscles and nerves.

IT WORKED! he said it tasted terrible and burned like fire but it was worth it! Thank you so much for the remedy!!! (also we used chamomile, mint and sage combo in the tea :)) thanks again

slippery elm for sickness (vomiting, diarrhea) and upset stomach, will literally stop sickness. one level teaspoon either with a tiny bit of toffee, maple syrup, honey... to be put straight in the mouth or mixed with warm water (very small amount)

Our 5 y.o. was vomiting; of course water made it worse! My husband gave her honey, recommended from your site and... Walla! No more throwing up and no more tummy ache. In fact, the whole family took a teaspoon of honey as a preventative feature. thanks for the tip and so excited than an "earth" site like this is out there. Cindy

Pediatrician always tells us wait 8 hrs minimum after our child's first vomit event due to stomach flu or virus (usually caught from school). Once, after 2 days vomitting, fever spikes and the Pediatric Nurse casually says 'oh, just wait another 8-12 hours to start BRATS' (aka bread, rice, applejuice, toast, white/clear soda), we couldn't take anymore of seeing our child so weak. Mom's old recipe of a taste of honey, stopped vomits right away. Soda-pop is always way too rich, can't keep it down. For child we give honey, then honey in hot water with a tiny pinch apple pie spices as other blogger mentions in this page - cinnamon, nutmeg, etc. For adult, we use same or hubby likes honey in hot water with 'chicken soup herbs' - I use parsley, sage, rosemary, thyme, sweet basil, or thinned chicken broth (same). Works great now, and don't get fever-bouts or dehydrated or weak like Dr's orders.

My daughter was throwing up and could not even keep water down. I made her some black tea and added a teaspoon on raw German honey to it. She has been sipping it and the vomiting has stopped. She was throwing up so bad that nothing was coming up at all. She is also telling me that she feels so much better. I am so glad that I found this site!!!!!
Rice
Posted by Eva (Fort Worth, TX USA) on 12/05/2008

Rice is the best way to stop throwing up. No other remedy is as simple and absolutely effective as this one.
Rinse around 4 tbsp of rise and bring to boil with 2 cups of water. Add water if the rice becomes too dry. Drink the rice water at first very slowly, otherwise make your stomach turn again. Rice is very effective for this because it is packed with electrolytes, which regulate are responsible for regulating your stomach. If no rice is available, Gatorade or any other water with electrolytes will work, however it will be relatively heavier for your sensitive stomach to take.
Above all soothe your stomach, do not feed it dramatic, heavy elements or it will turn again, remember, there is a reason why it got to this point in the first place!
