Vomiting

Vomiting, a.k.a throwing up or emesis, is the forceful expulsion of stomach contents. Human body uses vomiting to get rid of poisons and toxins that have been ingested. It can be caused by many reasons such as food that has gone bad, drinking too much alcohol, an allergic reaction to food, ingesting poison, motion sickness, bacteria or virus infection, etc.

In most cases, vomiting will stop without specific medical treatment. The most important point to remember when you are suffering from vomiting is to keep yourself hydrated.
