This month we dug into two topics you might not see every day. First, a low‑key plant called hedge mustard that’s popping up in supplement aisles. Second, the fresh lineup of drugs stepping in for Motilium to calm nausea. Both pieces aim to give you practical tips you can try right now.
Hedge mustard looks like any other leafy herb, but it packs a punch of vitamins A, C, and K plus a load of antioxidants. Those nutrients help your immune cells stay on guard and can lower inflammation after a tough workout or a cold.
People are adding the fresh leaves to smoothies, tossing them into salads, or brewing a mild tea for a daily boost. The herb also contains glucosinolates, which some labs link to better gut health. If you’re already using a multivitamin, swapping in hedge mustard a few times a week can round out your nutrient intake without adding extra pills.
Because it’s not widely cultivated yet, the price stays reasonable and you often find it at local farmers’ markets. Start with a small handful in your next green juice—you’ll notice a subtle peppery note that isn’t overpowering.
If you or someone you care for struggles with nausea, the market now offers more options than just Motilium. Aprepitant, originally used for chemotherapy‑induced vomiting, works by blocking a different brain receptor, so it can be effective when other drugs fall short.
Another newcomer is tradipitant, which targets the NK1 pathway and shows promise for post‑operative nausea. Doctors appreciate that these meds have fewer side effects like drowsiness, making them easier to combine with other treatments.
For milder cases, over‑the‑counter ginger capsules or low‑dose ondansetron tablets are still solid choices. The key is matching the drug to the cause—whether it’s motion sickness, medication side effects, or a stomach bug. Talk to your pharmacist about dosing and any possible interactions.
All these alternatives aim to give you control without relying on a single brand. Having several options means you can switch quickly if one stops working or causes unwanted symptoms.
That’s the roundup for February 2025. Hedge mustard might just become your new go‑to herb, and the expanding list of anti‑nausea meds gives you more ways to stay comfortable. Keep an eye on our site for updates as research unfolds and more products hit the shelves.
