Coffea, Coffee

 Anti-emetic, helps with nausea. Use strong, black coffee with a little cinnamon and/or peppermint oil for nausea. Mood elevator, especially when social. Stimulates sweat glands, saliva and other secretions. Upper lower GIP stimulant. Tonic to brain and nervous system. Flavonoids can strengthen capillaries, but those are lost with dark roasting. Coffee in moderation is liver stimulant. Tea cools liver.

From  SPECIFIC INDICATIONS FOR HERBS IN GENERAL USE Third edition Michael Moore:

COFFEA Vomiting, in general. Headache, reflex uterine, with throbbing head, cerebral hyperemia; or with red face, corners of eyes inflamed.
