How Can Ginger Help Me With Morning Sickness?


Share |

Ginger is one of the most effective supplements that you can use to help with any sort of nausea, including nausea that is caused by morning sickness. While Ginger won’t necessarily help everyone with morning sickness, the fact of the matter is that many women who have experienced morning sickness have been able to find relief using ginger in any number of forms.

It is important to know, first of all, that researchers aren’t entirely certain what it is that causes morning sickness. There seems to be some evidence that morning sickness may be caused by changing levels of hormones in a woman’s body. This seems to be somewhat consistent with many women’s’ experience of morning sickness, in that their morning sickness tends to subside right around the time during their pregnancy that their hormone levels start to level off. Still, without knowing for certain what causes morning sickness, it is hard to know how to help it.

For a woman who is pregnant and nauseous, there are fewer options than for a woman who is not pregnant. Many anti-nausea medications have not been sufficiently tested to be safe for pregnant women. Fortunately, there are alternative therapies such as ginger. Ginger has been used for many centuries by a variety of cultures to treat everything from indigestion to menstrual cramps.

Ginger is available in a number of forms. Many pregnant women will enjoy a cup of ginger tea, which will reduce or relieve their morning sickness. Ginger tea bags can be purchased, or you can make ginger tea at home. Some women prefer cold ginger tea, brewing the tea and then letting it cool, and adding ice. For those that don’t like tea, there are ginger capsules. Ginger capsules are made from ground ginger root. There are also some herbal remedies that can help with morning sickness. These herbal remedies that are designed to help with morning sickness will almost always contain ginger. In fact, if you are considering an herbal supplement for morning sickness and it doesn’t have ginger, you should perhaps consider a different supplement.
