Ginger to the Rescue!

It’s safe to say that the majority of us have been nauseated at some point in our lives—especially if you’ve experienced pregnancy. The feeling is uncomfortable and unpleasant. Sure, there are over-the-counter medications to aid in our sick feelings, but natural remedies, such as ginger, often do the trick—faster and more effectively than your local drug-store can.

As a powerful, multi-functional herb, ginger is often used for mild stomach pain to severe nausea that can result from pregnancy. During the first trimester of pregnancy, many women experience cases of nausea and vomiting and although they call it “morning sickness,” it can last throughout the day. Fortunately, ginger is a wonderful remedy for women who want to rid the feeling of nausea.

We’ve gone into this in more detail here , where we suggested that ingesting as little as 1 gram of ginger root every day for four days can significantly reduce feelings of nausea and incidences of vomiting. Don’t suffer from an upset stomach, seasickness, or morning sickness any longer!

Ginger products are readily available and easy to find. This powerful herb is available in a number of forms including: capsules, tinctures, extracts, oils, and in raw form. Fresh ginger root is easily attainable and can be used to brew tea (for all you tea lovers out there!).

If you’re feeling nauseous, give ginger a try…why not?
