morning sickness

[Guest guest]

The last pregnancy I had I used B6...it helped a lot! I used it along with soda crackers and...I know its horrible...but cola (just a little in the mornings)...and I stopped having any problems. Thats just what worked for me.

Love & Light

Hi Suzi,

 

Per Adele Davis in her book: Let's Have Healthy Children, morning sickness is caused by vitamin B6 deficiency:

"For the past 30 years vitamin B6 has been used successfully in relieving the nausea and vomiting of pregnancy. Though nausea can be prevented by as little as 10mg daily, 25mg per meal are often needed to stop it. Once vomiting has started, 250mg or more daily are usually necessary."

Also:

"Nausea is usually aggravated by a drop in blood sugar, therefore, avoid the circumstances that tend to suddenly change blood sugar levels...."

" To prevent this drop in blood sugar, eat some protein with a little natural starch or sugar immediately before retiring ... eat again before getting up."

 

When I was pregnant, I started getting nauseous, but not really sick/vomiting. I discovered I had changed my breakfast to porridge and that my body was reacting to it. As soon as I changed to another type breakfast, I was okay. After that, I used to eat some cheese in the morning before getting up out of bed, and had no problems again.

 

Hope this helps.

Hi Suzi,

 

Have you tried cloves? Cramp Bark? Try:

 

1 tspn cloves

1 tspn Turkey rhubarb

1 tspn Cinnamon

1 ounce Spearmint.

 

Simmer the first three in 1 pint of water for 5 minutes and pour over spearmint. Cover with lid and let steep until cool. Strain.

Suzi, if she is not averted to peppermint, have her suck on a peppermint lozenge. Make sure it is real peppermint though. It's a quick fix for the nasties. I used a common Swiss herbal cough drop that I won't mention cause I don't want to get in trouble LOL! and don't stop drinking the raspberry leaf tea every day either, or she'll find out the hard way it was worse without the tea than with YIKES.

Hello Pearlmoon,

 

I'm not Doc but I'll share what I have.

 

I made this for a friend and it worked well for her. She's not pregnant,

just has frequent nausea. It's taken as needed about 2-3 tablespoons per

dose. It seems to last 4-6 hours for her.

 

To 4 cups of water, add two cups of thinly sliced fresh unpeeled ginger

root.

Simmer this on a low heat for 1/2 hour.

When done, add one cup of honey for flavor.

Store in a glass jar in refrigerator. Can survive up to 6 months.

 

To this point it should be ok for a pregnant woman. I'd check with Doc

about anything below here.

 

I took small but equal parts of Anise seed, Fennel Seeds, Cloves and

cinnamon and ground them down in a coffee grinder. I then added 1/8th tsp

of the mix to the above solution.

 

This was done just for flavoring, not any added medicinal usage.

 

Tastes pretty good... you may have to smack her hand to keep it around.

(grin)

 

Hope that's a help

Hey Doc

 

I need your help ASAP. My friend told me that she is expecting a new baby

in July. Are there any herbs you know of to help calm morning sickness? I

know that ginger can calm an upset stomach, but I'm not sure about morning

sickness. Any advice from you or anyone else will be a big help. Thanks a

bunch!!

Dear Pearlmoon,

 

Skip's advice is very good. The only thing I might add is peppermint to the second mixture. A combination of Fennel Seed, Peppermint, and Ginger is great for any kind of nausea or morning sickness.

OOoooops. I made a boo-boo. This may not be obvious to everyone... seems I

I forgot to tell you that I strained it through cheesecloth prior to adding

the honey.

 

That should teach me to post when I'm half asleep.

Yes, I've heard of raspberry tea but I wasn't sure. I read that for hundreds of years in Europe would drink raspberry tea and most of those women would have an easier labor. Wish I would have known about that 17 years ago.

This is not an herbal, but it works. Have her try the " seabands "

that are used for motion sickness. You wear them on your wrists. I

used them and found relief and my sister who gets VERY sick with

morning sickness uses them with great success!

 

As for herbals, I have used wild yam tincture, but only a couple

times. It did work. Mints are good as well as ginger.

You should be able to find them at any pharmacy or drug store (even

places like walmart, target, and kmart carry them if you shop at

these places)--they are for motion sickness. They are elastic bands

that you wear on your wrists that use the pressure points on the

wrists to stop nausea.

Hope this helps.

Dear Jen,

 

Namaste.

 

Thank you for your email.

 

Medical Background:

 

Morning sickness refers to the nausea and vomiting

that some women have when they become pregnant. It is

caused by the sudden increase in hormones during

pregnancy. Although morning sickness is more common in

the morning, it can last all day for some women.

 

Morning sickness is very common early in a pregnancy.

It tends to go away later in pregnancy, and it's

almost always gone by the second trimester (the fourth

month). But there isn't a set time for it to stop

because each woman is different, and each pregnancy is

different.

 

Morning sickness does not hurt the unborn child unless

the mother can't keep any foods or fluids down and

begins to lose a lot of weight. Many doctors think

morning sickness is a good sign because it means the

afterbirth (the placenta and fetal membranes) is

developing well.

 

 

Pranic Healing:

 

1. Invoke and scan before, during and after

treatment.

NOTE: It is normal for pregnant women to have strong

solar plexus, navel, sex basic and meng mein chakras

and these chakras normally get even more activated as

the pregnancy progresses.

 

2. Touch your heart with the pads of the tips of the

fingers of your non-healing hand. Smile. Project

loving kindness to the patient. Maintain step 2 all

throu out the pranic healing treatment.

 

3. General sweeping. This must be done gently.

 

4. Localized thorough sweeping on the ajna chakra

alternately with LWG and ordinary LWV. Gently

energize with LWG, LWB and ordinary LWV.

 

5. Localized thorough sweeping on the front and back

solar plexus chakra and the liver. Energize the solar

plexus with LWG, LWB and more of oridnary LWV.

 

6. Localize thorough sweeping on the front and back

heart chakra. Energize through the back heart with

LWG and more of ordinary LWV.

 

7. Localized thorough sweeping on the jaw minor and

throat and secondary throat chakra. Energize with

LWG, LWB and ordinary LWV.

 

8. Localized GENTLY sweeping on the navel, sex and

basic chakras. Energize GENTLY with white.

 

9. Localized thorough sweeping on the crown, forehead

and back head minor chakra. Energize them with LWG

and more of ordinary LWV.

 

Stabilize and release projected pranic energy.

 

Repeat treatment three times per week.

 

Recommend for patient:

 

1. The tips below may help reduce morning sickness.

 

-Eat small meals throughout the day so that you're

never too full or too hungry.

-Avoid rich, fatty foods.

-Avoid foods with smells that bother you.

-Eat more carbohydrates (plain baked potato, white

rice, dry toast).

-Eat saltine crackers and other bland foods when you

feel nauseous.

-Try gelatin desserts (Jell-O), flavored frozen

desserts (popsicles), chicken broths, ginger ale

(nondiet), sugared decaffeinated or herbal teas, and

pretzels.

-The iron in prenatal vitamins can bother some women.

--If you think your morning sickness is related to

your vitamins, talk with your doctor and he or she may

change your vitamins.

-Wearing " acupressure " wrist bands, which are

sometimes used by passengers on boats to prevent sea

sickness, may help some women who have morning

sickness. You can buy the bands at boating stores or

travel agencies.

 

2. Visualize your unborn child. Bless the child with

qualities you wish him/her to have.

 

3. Make a list of blessings and thanks giving and say

them several times each day for yourself, your

husband, family and environment.

 

4. Pranic breathing (6-3-6-3) for 12 cycles three

times or more each day ( upon waking, mid day and

before bedtime).

 

Love,

 

Marilette

Hydration I think is the best thing. I know that is feels icky when you

drink it but I think in the long run (1 week to 3 days) she will feel

better. I have had little success with this but my nausea is more toxic

related.

I have heard of ginger tea being the best.

Also there is a company, I don’t know which you’d have to research

it that makes ginger lollipops specifically for pregnant women.

We have a friend that is pregnant (we wish it were us!!!), and she has awful morning sickness. I suggested taking a fresh root of ginger, grating about a teaspoon to a tablespoon's worth, and steeping it in hot water for 20 minutes, and drinking the tea. It sure seems to help. She keeps some brewed at all times, sips it cold first thing in the mornings, all through the day. As I said, it sure seems to help.
