Sometimes the best thing is to just upchuck..
And I forgot about it because it doesnt work all the time - but the "warm rag on your tummy" does work sometimes (usually for the gassy feeling)

Other Answers:
I don't know anything natural, but Alka-Seltzer works great for me.
Hot Tea. Sprite or 7up can help a little. Put a Warm rag on your tummy.
The one I turned my husband onto was soy protein powder in water. It tastes chalky, but it works as good as Pepto Bismol, and is good for you as long as you get the soy protein powder without additives.
ginger root , if your grocery store has a natural foods section look for jamaican style ginger beer or ale, it is non alcoholic just uses loads more ginger than canada dry or shweppes does.

ps peppermint actually increases stomach acids and will make it worse.
Apple Juice. It contains Pectin which is great for an upset stomach.
Pepermint, like a candy cain or pepermiont leaves are great for upset tummies and heart burn. Other wise cokeacola helps settle upset tummies, but it is far from natural :)

anything with ginger in it. try getting some real ginger ale (its a brand called red rock down here in the south, i dont know how far they ship it but its true ginger ale). ginger beer will also work but you'd have to go to a carribean foods store for that (some grocery stores carry it and most health food stores for that matter).
Hot tea and saltine crackers.
A little baking soda and water- mix mix mix , drink drink drink.
Ginger and ginger ale is good for naseua and motion sickness. The GingerPeople sell candied ginger and ginger chews which are great. You can also get ginger tea at grocery stores or healthfood stores.

Peppermint tea is good for general upset but bad if you have heartburn.

Natural licorice flavor (usually in black licorice but not red) is good for heartburn and ulcers. Extremely large doses of licorice can cause high blood pressure so don't overdo it.

if you're feeling nauseous, try a little flat lemonade or coke.

if you're actually feeling like throwing up, sometimes that's the best thing to do.

otherwise you can try eating a bit of white toast with nothing on it, or plain white pasta. don't go for anything wholegrain cause it'll make it worse.
gingerale and soda crackers.
