morning sickness

[Guest guest]

Red Raspberry Leaf Tea- is a great tonic to take

throughout pregnancy.

I'm about to start taking a combination of Red

Rspberry, Nettle Leaves, Oatstraw and Alfalfa. I may

add a little Peppermint- depends on how I like the

taste. This is a common herbal blend for pregnant

women.

Extra B-vitamins are often recommended for morning

sickness.

Keep HIGH PROTEIN snacks on hand. If you are prone to

feeling especially bad when you first wake up, try

keeping a jar of nut butter and a spoon right by your

bed and eat before you wake up. Hardboiled eggs are

another great thing to have on hand.

Someone on this list recently posted a negative

opinion/review of Dr. Batman's water theories- but

when I read the book, all I could think about was the

heartburn I suffered with my last two pregnancies.

IMO: Drinking enough water and getting enough salt

makes a huge difference in your digestive processes.

If you feel sick *after* eating, make sure to eat

plenty of enzyme rich foods with each meal, eat

smaller portions, and drink water and take a pinch of

sea salt 30 minutes PRIOR to eating. Do not drink

anything except raw or cultured milk with meals. Do

not drink within 2 hours after eating. If you are

thirsty after eating, you don't have enough digestive

juices. Make sure to drink before eating and to get at

least 8 glasses a day- adjusted upwards if pregnant

and especially if tandem nursing...

Dear Nita,

It is said that morning sickness is a sign of B6 deficiency. B6 is most

available in raw animal products. So I would suggest drinking lots of raw

milk and eating raw cheese. Sally

LOL. Just to show you how far one can come, here I am, an RN trained in traditional medicine, recommending she try essential oils. they hae really been known to help morning sickness. I am amazed at how many things you can address with essential oils. The frequencies in them resonate with different conditions, and the results can be amazing.

I would try a drop of lemon or spearmint in drinking water or herbal tea. If you place a drop of lemon EO on the base of your hand, then rub the heels of your hands together, then inhale.

There is also a blend called digestion blend that can be dropped in water or herbal tea.

You can find great essential oils at www.pulseparty.com/134153 They are developed by an MD who is the world's expert in essential oils.

I am amazed every day at all of the different conditions that can be helped by essential oils, if they are pure and potent.
