1. Use Your Finger
Pushing your finger down your throat, over your tongue, will help induce vomiting.
Why This Works
When your finger comes in contact with the base of your tongue, your body reacts and causes a gag reflex 1. This, in turn, makes you nauseous and prompts you to vomit.
2. Drink Warm Salt Water
Add a teaspoon or two of salt to a glass of water. Consume this saline solution in a single gulp. It may take 25 to 30 minutes to induce vomit, but you can use your finger to speed up the process.
Why This Works
Salt contains sodium. Excess sodium can cause a shift in the natural electrolyte balance of your body and force you to expel the saltwater.
3. Gargle
Add a teaspoon of salt to a glass of warm water. Stir to dissolve it and take a sip of saltwater and hold it in your mouth. Tilt your head slightly and keep gargling for at least 10 minutes.
Why This Works
Gargling with warm water triggers a gag reflex, which induces vomiting. However, the gargling should be intense. You can also add salt to the warm water gargle to further accelerate the process.
4. Use A Toothbrush
You also can use your toothbrush to induce vomit. This method will be especially helpful if you aren’t comfortable with the idea of sticking your finger down your throat. You may rub your toothbrush against the back of your tongue and watch yourself throw up almost immediately.
Why This Works
The toothbrush causes a gag reflex that causes you to throw up.
5. Think About Vomiting
Think about vomiting and all things that make you sick to compel your body to throw up.
Why This Works
When you focus your mind on the sights, smells, and sounds that make you sick, you feel nauseated and tend to vomit.
