Vomiting
Vomiting is the body's way of forcefully expelling the contents of the stomach through the mouth. It can occur due to various reasons, such as food poisoning, motion sickness, infections, or emotional stress. The process is controlled by the brain, which triggers a series of muscular contractions to push stomach contents out. While it can provide relief by removing harmful substances or irritants, frequent vomiting may lead to dehydration and other health issues. If persistent, it’s important to seek medical attention to understand the underlying cause.
