Why do lemons work on ab pain/nausea

2018-02-02 23:54:10
I have Stage 4 colorectal cancer that has spread to my liver. Right now my symptoms are pretty manageable; my main problem is abdominal pain/nausea. This brings me to my question: When the abdominal pain/nausea persists despite other (prescription) medications, I eat a lemon, sliced and salted. This always seems to work. Do you know why?
