Ginger Ale will work for nausea if it is real ginger ale--not the Ginger Ale that you get in the grocery store. It has no ginger in it--only flavoring. Ginger Ale from the health food store has the real stuff and it will help prevent/stop nausea. I always have success with crystalized ginger. I just chew a little piece (about one inch square) and the nausea disappears. We buy crystalized ginger in the Crack Seed store, but grocery stores and health food stores frequently have it. I think it is the same as what some refer to as candied ginger. Sincerely, Joan Dykstra
