Well it helps with the nausea if a person is having symptoms and can control the symptoms with it. It's very effective for many people. And the tea, when I was 10, the doctor gave me a bag, didn't say what it was, but prescribed a cup of tea every day. And years later, I recognized the taste of it as marijuana. It was supposed to prevent my headaches, but it didn't do anything noticeable for me. It used to be prescribed a lot as a tea, and I think it's a lot safer that way than smoking it because the smoke itself is carcinogenic and estrogenic. And the various chemicals in the leaf are themselves slightly estrogenic or anti-androgenic. So I think that's probably the main concern for someone who's using it regularly. But I think there are other probably healthier solutions for nausea. The anti-serotonin drugs and simply increasing the blood sugar, salt and sugar, very often help with nausea.
