Overeating Caused Nausea
Eating too much obstructs the normally downward flow of digestive energy (qi). Herbs such as hawthorn berry, radish seed, rice sprout, barley sprout, medicated leaven, and others are used to dissolve food stagnation. We know that some of these herbs promote flows of digestive acids and enzymes.
Alcohol Consumtion, Hangover
Drinking too much heats (inflames) the liver, causing the conditon known as Liver Invades Stomach. This results in an upward flow of both stomach and liver qi. Causing both nausea and headache as the stomach channel and branches of the liver channel acend to the head. Treating hangover requires herbs that soothe the liver, like chrysanthimum or white peony root combined with herbs that dry dampness, such as cardamom, or atractylodes. Patchouli, immature citrus peel, and other herbs are added to increase the downward flow of qi,
Chemotherapy Caused Nausea
There is ,of course nothing in ancient Chinese medical literature about chemotherapy or other modern day drugs causing nausea. Nevertheless this kind of nausea is related to liver toxicity of any kind. However some of these toxins are far more immediately powerful than alcohol. Stomach Curing pills will relieve nausea many of these cases, however some people will require a specialized medicine made after consulting with a Chinese herbalist.
Morning Sickness and Nausea During Pregnancy
Pregnancy requires that herbs be used with care. Experience shows that there are many herbs that are unsafe to take during pregnancy. Most of the herbs in the Vitalize Blood category, such as, safflower (hong hua), peach pit kernal (tao ren), and many others. These herbs could cause miscarriage. Fortunately most herbs that treat morning sickness, or nausea during pregnancy do not fall into this category.
Though there are many herbs and herbal medicines that treat morning sickness and nausea during pregnancy, the universal favorite, throughout Asia, are Curing Pills, also known as Pill Curing, or Po Chai pills. There are many brands of imporrted Chinese versions of the Curing Pill, however we don't prescribe them for pregnant women, as their exact ingredients are often not correctly listed on the lable. That's why we made Dr. Shen's Stomach Curing Pills. We make and test them in the USA, using top grade herbs. Lead and other heavy metals are a concern for everyone, especially for pregnant women. There are currently no FDA standards for heavy metals in herbal mrdicines. Though all fruits, vegetables and whole herbs have trace amounts of lead, Curing pills meet all international and California Proposition 65 standards for natualy occuring lead. Since they have been scrutinized by the state of California, you will find Prop 65 lead warnings on the lable. Do not be alarmed by warning. The product is absolutely safe for everyone including pregnant women. That's why you'll find Dr. Shen's Stomach Curing Pills in many Whole Foods and other highly discerning retail stores.
