People are hit with nausea and vomiting for many reasons and on many occasions. Nausea is an unpleasant sensation of unease including an urge to vomit.

Motion sickness experienced at sea or in the air often induces vomiting, as many as 55% of pregnant women struggle with nausea during their first months of gestation and people exposed to chemical odors, offensive smells, and airborne toxins react with nausea and vomiting.

In some situations, vomiting is a positive and natural way to purge the system of poison, but severe nausea and vomiting may indicate larger problems and lead to dehydration and damage to the esophagus and digestive tract.

Nausea and vomiting are signs of appendicitis, blocked intestines, brain injury, concussion, flu, food poisoning, overeating, migraines, and more. In very serious cases, nausea and vomiting may indicate cancer, central nervous disorders, kidney problems, liver conditions and more.

Treatment for nausea includes prescribed medications called antiemetics. Medications used to treat nausea include Meclizine hydrochloride, Dimenhydrinate, Emetrol, and Bismuth subsalicylate. Each prescribed medication contains negative side effects that include blurred vision, constipation, dizziness, headache, vomiting, hyperactivity, dry mouth, ringing in the ears, fainting, weight loss, yellow eyes or skin, abdominal pain, anxiety, cold symptoms and swelling of the face, arms and legs.

CBD is a non-psychoactive compound derived from the hemp plant known for its potential therapeutic effects. Studies show that CBD may help alleviate nausea without the negative side effects of prescribed medications.

The endocannabinoid system(ECS) is a unique network of neurotransmitters and receptors that exist throughout the brain and body. Functionally, it appears to regulate a variety of internal homeostatic functions. Studies suggest that manipulating the endocannabinoid system can help regulate both nausea and vomiting.

Research also suggests that CBD can work as an antiemetic for humans, as it eases the effects of nausea and may even prevent it from occurring altogether.
