Morning sickness remedy

It is estimated that between 50 and 80 per cent of women have nausea, sometimes with vomiting, during pregnancy. Although nausea may be more noticeable in the morning, it lasts all day for many women.

Even if there was no nausea, women can develop dislikes certain foods. Morning generally improves by the thirteenth or fourteenth week of pregnancy, but some women continue to notice of nausea in the second quarter.

A Canadian study surveyed women pregnant and found: almost two thirds (61.2%) of women used natural remedies to mitigate the morning
The three types of more common natural remedies used were tea with ginger, wristbands of acupressure (called "bands of sea") and vitamin B6
Among women who used natural remedies, 20.7% of the unwanted soft reported. The most common were unable to tolerate the strong flavor of ginger and wrist irritation among women who used acupressure wrist bands.

Here are five natural remedies that are used to the morning.

Diet

The following suggestions of diet may help relieve nausea: eating frequent small meals, so that you are never too hungry or too full at the same time avoid fatty or fried foods Keep crackers, bread or toast, cereal or other food bland handy. Try to eat a few crackers before getting the bed in the morning. Identify triggers and to avoid make sure that you are drinking enough fluids, especially if you've been vomiting. Try to drink between meals, rather than the meals, which some women are useful. Acupuncture

A study examined 88 women pregnant with vomiting, a form severe morning sickness. Women received either an anti-nausea drug called metoclopramide or twice by sessions weekly acupuncture for two weeks, more acupressure. The two treatments have been found to reduce nausea and vomiting intensity. Acupuncture was more effective than drugs by improving psychosocial functioning.

Acupressure wrist bands

Bands wrist acupressure, often marketed as "bands of sea", stimulating an acupuncture point called "pericardium 6" (p6), which is known in traditional Chinese medicine to relieve nausea. This is a band of wrist with a plastic knob that exerts pressure on the p6 in the wrist. Usually they cost less than $10 for a pair and can be found online or in certain foods health stores. Usually, he begins to work immediately.

Ginger

Ginger (Zingiber officinale) is a common remedy for morning sickness. It has been used for centuries in cooking and medicine. The Food and Drug Administration classifies ginger as "generally recognized as safe."

It is common for physicians, midwives, naturopaths and other practitioners of health recommend ginger for morning. Four randomized double-blind clinical trials supports this recommendation. The dose used in the studies was a total of one gram of ginger per day, taken in divided doses, for four days to three weeks. This is equivalent to half a teaspoon of ginger taken four times a day. It can be soaked with hot water for five minutes to make hot tea with ginger.

Some sources say there is not enough information on the safety of ginger in pregnant women to recommend for morning, saying that ginger inhibits an enzyme called thromboxane synthetase and eventually may affect the differentiation of sex steroids in the brain of the fetus. Studies have not confirmed this.

Another concern is that ginger interferes with blood clotting and may prolong bleeding time. A study that tracked the 187 women who took the ginger during the first quarter showed no statistically significant difference in the number of defects, spontaneous abortions and stillbirths.
