Morning sickness can leave a woman feeling weak, dizzy and sometimes just out of it. Is there a simple morning sickness remedy or remedies that you should know about? Well, there are some simple things you can do to lessen morning sickness. Of course, you should always consult with your doctor first for any health issues you’re experiencing or remedies you may try. One, the doctor can determine if what you’re experiencing is really morning sickness and not signs of something more serious. Two, your doctor should know of any remedies you’re taking, especially if they’re herbal remedies. You don’t want anything interfering with any medication you are taking. And, of course, you don’t want to take anything that will harm your baby.

Natural Remedies for Morning Sickness

Here are three natural remedies that may help you with your morning sickness.

Ginger Juice

Mix together one half teaspoon of ginger juice, found at most supermarkets or your health food store with one teaspoon of freshly squeezed lime juice, one teaspoon of mint juice and one teaspoon of honey. Mix well. You can even keep some of this on hand. You can drink it three to four times per day when you need it.

Curry Leaves Juice

Another remedy means mincing together the juice from 20 or so tender curry leaves - you can do this at home simply by squeezing them over a sieve with two teaspoons of lime juice and one teaspoon of honey. This too can be taken three timers per day as you need to.

Mint Juice

If you like the taste of mint, this is a simple solution. Mix together one teaspoon of mint juice, again found at your health food store or you can squeeze it yourself with one teaspoon of freshly squeezed lime just and one teaspoon of honey. Drink this three times per day for relief.

These natural remedies can easily be made and stored in a refrigerator. Or, you can make them up when you feel the nausea coming on. In addition, if you know you have morning sickness at the same time every day then drink this before it comes on to help to avoid the effects. These natural fixes for your morning sickness may just be the best thing that you do to take care of yourself today.

Musical Morning Sickness Remedy?

You may have seen some pretty neat tapes on the market claiming to be able to relieve your morning sickness. The thinking is that your morning sickness may have a lot to do with the inner ear. To help you to understand how morning sickness is caused in this manner, you have to understand a bit about the inner ear.

Your ear has been known to cause problems in weakness and illness in other conditions as well. Your inner ear, the vestibular system, is in control of your balance. Have you ever experienced motion sickness from being in the car too long? This is a result of the inner ear’s function. In addition to this, it has been found by researchers that this part of the ear has played a larger role in other instances when you are sick.

The theory, then, is that if the inner ear causes sickness, then perhaps if you stimulate the inner ear with music that it may help to positively respond to the illness. By using various techniques that are part of its function, perhaps benefits can be found. There are several programs that use this theory as a method helping to relieve morning sickness. They use various tones and patterns, the inner ear can mask the symptoms of morning sickness. Instead of sending signals to the brain that you are feeling ill, it can instead mask those feelings and, in turn, you feel just fine.

But, does it work? What are the benefits of using this type of treatment for morning sickness over other methods? For one, when you use music to help in healing morning sickness you are not contaminating your body with chemicals and medications that could potentially cause a problem with the baby. In addition, this type of morning sickness treatment will not cause any type of interaction with other treatments that you may have to have. The upshot is: you can give it a try. It may work it may not, but it’s just music so it can’t hurt.



Here are some simple tips to help ease morning sickness:

• Try to avoid having an empty stomach. Many times you will wake to morning sickness because you do not have anything in your stomach. To help this, you may want to try to keep at least something small in your stomach most of the day.

• Try to eat five or six smaller sized meals per day, instead of just having three large ones. This too will help to keep your stomach fuller, more often and minimize the times when you face morning sickness.

• Take a multivitamin. There are several vitamins that your body needs no matter what during pregnancy. By giving yourself all that you need, your body is better capable of fighting off the effects of morning sickness. Your doctor is likely to prescribe a prenatal vitamin for you to take. Make sure that you do.

• Satisfy your cravings. The cravings that you have when you are pregnant are often in direct correlation to the fact that you need some vitamins, nutrients or type of food. By satisfying that craving, you have a better opportunity to feel more content and feel less of the effects of morning sickness.

• Don’t eat what you shouldn’t anyway. This includes limiting sweets and greasy foods. These foods seem to trigger worse reactions to morning sickness than others do. They are not healthy for baby either.

• Get in all the liquid you can. This is essential for keeping yourself hydrated especially when you are vomiting heavily. On top of that, you may find that drinking your beverages at other times than eating your meals can help as well with minimizing morning sickness pangs. Some pregnant mothers recommend drinking low sugar but carbonated drinks. You can mix soda water with juice to help as well.

Again, if you’re feeling severe morning sickness symptoms, and before using any natural remedies, see your doctor.
