Natural Morning Sickness Remedy

September 28, 2017 by ModernMom Staff Leave a Comment

Many pregnant women do not want to take any medications while pregnant. Fortunately, in addition to pharmaceutical treatments for morning sickness, a natural morning sickness remedy can be used to treat morning sickness symptoms. Many of the most commonly used and effective treatments for morning sickness are natural ones. This is empowering news for women who prefer natural remedies over pharmaceutical treatments for addressing the symptoms of morning sickness.

Natural Morning Sickness Remedy

For women who prefer to treat morning sickness naturally, natural remedies are an option. Natural remedies for morning sickness involve restoring balance to the body, making dietary and lifestyle changes, and using noninvasive products to treat morning sickness. While antacids and prescription drugs can be used to treat morning sickness, natural remedies do not include the use of pharmaceutical drugs.

Prevention as a Natural Remedy

Fortunately, there are many steps you can take to head off morning sickness before it starts. Since pregnant women are super-sensitive to smell, odors can often trigger morning sickness. Avoiding smells that make you gag or feel sick can help prevent morning sickness. Prenatal vitamins are notorious for triggering nausea, especially when taken on an empty stomach. To prevent nausea caused by vitamins, take your vitamin with your largest meal of the day. Eating every few hours can also help to prevent morning sickness. Having something in your stomach can help keep irritating stomach acids, which can cause nausea and heartburn, under control.

Benefits of Natural Remedies

A natural morning sickness remedy can treat morning sickness without harsh side effects. Since they can include ingredients found in nature, you’re not putting synthetically made items into your body which can have adverse affects. Natural remedies to treat morning sickness are also inexpensive and easy to get. In fact, you likely already have most natural remedies for treating morning sickness on hand. Review your plans to treat yourself with natural remedies with your healthcare provider.

Types of Natural Remedies

Several types of natural remedies can be used to treat morning sickness. Eating specific foods, like ginger, ginger candy or lemons, or drinking beverages like ginger ale made from real ginger, can help to reduce pregnancy-related nausea. Aromatherapy can also be effective in treating morning sickness. Smelling lemons or peppermint oil can help to relieve an upset stomach. Both acupressure and acupuncture have also been shown to be effective in treating morning sickness.

When Natural Remedies Don’t Work

If morning sickness is persistent, you may need to contact your healthcare provider for treatment. Severe morning sickness symptoms can lead to a condition called hyperemesis gravidarum. Hyperemesis gravidarum is characterized by excessive vomiting, weight loss and an imbalance in electrolytes. It can be treated with antacids or intravenous fluids, if necessary.
