Guest guest Posted September 25, 2002 Report Share Posted September 25, 2002 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 Kelley In a message dated 9/25/2002 3:43:18 PM Central Daylight Time, lisa.belcher writes: 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.

Guest guest Posted September 27, 2002 Report Share Posted September 27, 2002 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.

Guest guest Posted December 6, 2002 Report Share Posted December 6, 2002 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 Skip - pearlmoon Thursday, December 05, 2002 5:57 PM [herbal remedies] morning sickness 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.

Guest guest Posted December 7, 2002 Report Share Posted December 7, 2002 Janet 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.

They are elastic bands that you wear on your wrists that use the pressure points on the wrists to stop nausea. Hope this helps.

Guest guest Posted November 15, 2003 Report Share Posted November 15, 2003 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).

Guest guest Posted June 5, 2004 Report Share Posted June 5, 2004 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.

Guest guest Posted June 5, 2004 Report Share Posted June 5, 2004 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. liz Ostrowski [Odesign1] Saturday, June 05, 2004 11:11 AM herbal remedies Herbal Remedies - Morning sickness Girls or guys...What has any of you used for morning sickness.?

Guest guest Posted June 5, 2004 Report Share Posted June 5, 2004 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.
