Ginger (Zingiber officinale)

When it comes to quelling nausea or morning sickness (motion sickness too) there is no better herb than ginger root. Whether you use it fresh or dried, a little ginger goes a long way toward warming the belly and relieving queasy feelings. Some books mistakenly list ginger as an herb that can cause miscarriage. This misinformation no doubt got started by a woman who had noticed that drinking ginger made her menses flow more easily. Midwives agree, though, that ginger is safe, even in early pregnancy.

In addition to quelling morning sickness, ginger helps prevent constipation, keeps the pelvic muscles warmed and toned, relieves intestinal cramping and gas (in infants too), increases digestive force by encouraging the secretion of digestive enzymes, lowers blood pressure, and restores vitality.

 

“If you are discouraged it is a sign of pride, because it shows you trust in your own powers. Never bother about other people's opinions. Be humble and you will never be disturbed. Remember St. Aloysius, who said he would continue to play billiards even if he knew he was going to die. Do you play well? Sleep well? Eat well? These are duties. Nothing is small for God.”

Did you know ginger grows well as a house plant? When you brush against the leaves, the wonderful ginger smell is released. It grows like iris (a rhizome) so you need to separate/pick the roots every so often--otherwise the old ones die and the new ones do not do as well when the old ones are still attached. Other than that, it does not require a lot of care--just be aware that it occasionally goes through a resting phase (looks like it's dying). That's when the tops die back and it lets you know it's time to separate the corms.

another good reason to drink ginger tea when pregnant is that it is full of B vitamins, and when I lived in Hawaii they used ginger in everything because it stuns parasites so that they don't get into your system, and it tastes good my two cents worth.
