Fresh ginger root, or lemon balm against nausea. Egg whites precipitate tannins so the work against nausea there is indirect.
^This.
IMHO, brewing is an art. You need to fine the balance between harmalas & DMT, figure how to prepare the brew in the way that best suits you physical needs, & also work to cultivate intention, mindset, & a personal ritual and/or setting that facilitates positive experiences.
Personally i believe you should start with rue on its own for a while. Get a feel for how the brew effects you at different dosages. Enough that you can account for variability between experiences of the same dose.
Then slowly add in acacia brew a little at a time.
It may take a while, but I have noticed that over time the mind & body get acclimated to harmalas & after so long, as with any other substance, you are able to handle more intense effects much better.
It also allows you to get a feel for how you should prepare your enviornment for experiences & cultivate intention & personal ritual.
Very common sense stuff but IMO many overlook this approach in the quest for an immediate breakthrough.
