Nobody likes the feeling of their stomach turning upside down. National Stop Nausea Day puts that awkward, queasy sensation front and center.

Whether it hits on a wild car ride, during a medical treatment, or out of the blue, nausea can throw off your whole day. This day gets people talking about it—finally. It brings attention to something many try to brush off or hide.

But there’s more to it than just feeling sick. Nausea can mess with meals, sleep, even simple plans. For some, it doesn’t just pass—it lingers and complicates life.

National Stop Nausea Day reminds us to look closer, ask questions, and listen when others say they’re struggling. With better awareness, people can find real help—and maybe feel normal again. Have you ever had to pause your day just to settle your stomach?

How to Celebrate National Stop Nausea Day

National Stop Nausea Day offers a meaningful opportunity to acknowledge and address the discomfort that nausea brings to many lives.

Here are several ways you can participate and make a positive impact:

Share Your Story

Opening up about personal experiences with nausea can foster understanding and support.

Whether it’s motion sickness, morning sickness, or treatment-related nausea, your story might resonate with others and encourage them to share their own.

Educate Yourself and Others

Learning about the causes and remedies for nausea empowers you to manage it effectively.

Resources from reputable organizations like the Cleveland Clinic and Healthline offer valuable information. Sharing this knowledge can help dispel myths and provide relief strategies to those in need.

Support Someone Experiencing Nausea

If someone you know is dealing with nausea, offering a listening ear or assisting with daily tasks can make a significant difference.

Simple acts of kindness, like preparing a bland meal or providing ginger tea, show empathy and care.

Explore Natural Remedies

Natural options like ginger, peppermint, and acupressure have been shown to alleviate nausea symptoms. Incorporating these remedies into your routine or sharing them with others can provide comfort and relief.

Advocate for Awareness

Raising awareness about the impact of nausea can lead to better support systems and treatment options.

Engaging in conversations, supporting related initiatives, or participating in community events helps bring attention to this often-overlooked issue.

History of National Stop Nausea Day

National Stop Nausea Day began in 2018. Reliefband Technologies, a company known for wearable devices that help reduce nausea, started it.

Their mission was simple: give people a voice, especially those living with frequent nausea. They wanted to break the silence around something many feel but rarely discuss. That’s how this awareness day came to life.

The creators saw how nausea can affect anyone—travelers, pregnant women, people going through treatment, or even those with anxiety. Reliefband Technologies believed this condition needed more attention.

So, they picked a day to highlight it and open up new conversations. They wanted people to talk, share, and learn from one another.

This day isn’t just about facts or symptoms. It’s about recognizing how nausea interrupts lives and how support can ease the burden. Many still feel like they must push through it without help. National Stop Nausea Day encourages them to explore options—natural remedies, technology, and medical advice.

Support grew each year. Doctors, caregivers, and everyday people joined the effort. Now, more folks feel seen, heard, and better equipped to cope. While nausea remains a common problem, this day helps change how we respond to it—one story, one action at a time.
