Arsenicum is another good one to use, especially after food poisoning and suits the kind of person who is a perfectionist, the kind of person who seeing a picture not hanging correctly has a need to straighten it. Nux Vomica is another classic to try, however that tends to be the kind of nausea and vomiting from over indulging, but the one I favour for nausea is Ipecacuanha, where there is a constant unrelenting feeling of nausea.
The good thing about Homeopathy is they dissolve in the mouth so no need to worry about being unable to keep them down. Dosage in the acute stage 30C and as with all homeopathic remedies unlike courses of antibiotics, as soon as there is an improvement stop the remedy. Often the patient starts to feel better in themself, even though they may still have the ailment. This is an indication the correct remedy has been chosen.
