Pregnant? Say Good-bye to
Morning Sickness With Ginger
From Reuters

As much as 80 percent of pregnant women suffer from morning sickness in their first trimester. However, expecting mothers need not fear, for research may have discovered a natural way to help ease these queasy, wrenching feelings: Ginger.

Ginger proved to be more effective in reducing nausea and vomiting in pregnant women than a placebo, and worked just as well as vitamin B6 (found to improve morning sickness symptoms in pregnant women), according to studies. None of the women who took ginger had experienced problems with their pregnancies.

Opting For Natural Alternatives to Cure Morning Sickness
These findings most likely come as a relief to expecting mothers. While there are numerous medications specifically designed to ease symptoms of morning sickness, many soon-to-be mothers withdraw from using drugs for fear of causing negative side effects in their unborn children. Instead, they turn to alternative treatments:

· Vitamins
· Acupuncture
· Herbal products
· Homeopathic remedies

Yet among natural options, ginger has long been used to treat nausea. In fact, ginger has become one of the top 20 best-selling herbal supplements in the United States. Additional natural products used to treat morning sickness include chamomile, peppermint and raspberry leaf.

PHILLIP DAY'S COMMENT: Another important point with morning sickness or period pains is hydration. Dr F Batmanghelidj, author of the bestselling, Water and Salt - Your Healers from Within, makes the point that there is no system or function in the body NOT pegged to the flow of water. Two litres/four pints a day of clean, filtered water for the average weight adult will ensure that menstruating or pregnant females are not in 'drought management', resulting in pain.

Hydration is also especially important for the following:

Esophageal Reflux
Irritable Bowel Syndrome and other bowel complaints
Lower back pain
Cancer
Heart disease and hypertension
Asthma
Arthritis
Osteoporosis
