Natural Remedies to Induce Vomit

1. Drink Enough Water

Keep your stomach full by drinking lots of water if you want to induce vomit. It will help in easing the strain on your stomach while you are throwing up. Drinking water will also help with diluting the foods that are already inside the stomach, which will make it easier to throw up. However, you should not immediately throw up after drinking water and instead wait for about fifteen minutes.

You can also try gargling with warm water for about ten seconds as it will help in inducing vomiting. Gargling can trigger a gag reflex at the back of the mouth and help in throwing up.
