Natural Remedies for Morning Sickness

Every morning you wake up feeling as if someone injected you with a toxic poison during the night. Your stomach is aching and you are ready to throw up as soon as you take your first waking breath. Knowing the possible side effects for you and your baby, you don't take anything and move on throughout your day, desperately trying not to vomit. What can you possible do to make the nausea just go away?

Open your pantry door! Believe it or not, you probably have most of, if not all of the things that will help your morning sickness completely disappear. So, take the chance, open your pantry door and start digging around! Below is a list of four different natural food items you can use to help alleviate your morning sickness.

Ginger ~ The absolute best way to take ginger is in a tea form, but if you don't have the tea bags, you can make your own! Just boil eight ounces of water with one half of a teaspoon of fresh ginger or one teaspoon of ground ginger (from your spice cabinet), then sip slowly.

Chamomile ~ Again, the best way to take this is in a tea. Chamomile is known for it's digestive aiding properties, as well as, for being soothing, and it is safe during pregnancy.

Peppermint ~ You can eat peppermint candies (make sure they are actually made from peppermint and aren't synthetic), drink tea or just inhale the scent! Peppermint is great for settling the stomach quickly.

Water ~ Morning sickness is a way of telling you that you need a drink! Make sure you are drinking at least one half of an ounce per pound of your body weight each day and morning sickness will be a thing of the past!

You can also eat Bananas and baked potatoes. The bananas and potatoes both contain a large amount of potassium and B vitamins, which is extremely beneficial in aiding nausea. If nothing else works you can always eat dry toast and sprinkle cinnamon on it, this helps too.

Morning sickness is one of the worst parts of pregnancy. Sometimes it may seem as though it starts as soon as you open your eyes each day and doesn't end until you are fast asleep, and I would bet you would do just about anything to vomit at that point. But if you attempt any of the remedies above, the morning sickness should settle within just a few minutes and you can go back to feeling normal! Believe me, it is all worth it in the end!
