Guest guest Posted July 24, 2004 Report Share Posted July 24, 2004 , Congratulations! I now know that ginger and peppermint are two natural remedies for nausea. I give my son minty ginger tincture by Herbs for Kids for nausea/motion sickness. Perhaps you can check with your health food store for an adult version, or try this at an appropriate dose. Also look into those ginger lozenges or a peppermint tea. Best wishes, Patty [ ] medication for nausea? I just found out I am pregnant with baby #4 and am wondering if there is something " safe " out there to take for morning sickness. I was very sick with baby #2, not as bad with baby #3 and not sick at all with #1. I am just trying to prepare myself for the worst I guess. I have also had a terrible cold with lots and lots of coughing. Could anyone suggest something that I could take for chest congestion? Thanks, ======================================================= Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 24, 2004 Report Share Posted July 24, 2004 Congestion: tea tree oil on the chest or clothing. You can gargle with it too, just add a couple of drops to warm water (salted if you like - it's soothing & helps kill germs too). Ricola all natural cough drops. (read ingredients - some have artificial sweetener) Slippery elm lozenges from the health food store also good for cough & sore throat. Neti pot -- http://immuneweb.org/articles/nasalwash.html Nausea remedies for pregnancy: I was hospitalized with this in my 1st pg. Candied ginger can sometimes help; I've found it to be the most effective of the various ginger remedies. Altoids (strong peppermint candies) can also be helpful. There's a product called EmergenC which is a drink powder. Read ingredients to verify all natural. B vits, C, K. Settles the stomach -- after you drink it & are feeling better, EAT. I would not take more than 2 a day. If you get diahrrea from it, back off - t's the vit C. Most adults can handle 2g tho. This is safe for pregnancy but if you take extra C throughout the pg (1-2g/day is shown to reduce the incidence of toxemia by I believe 50%, but more than 6g/day may increase risk of m/c) you should continue after the birth & breastfeed, so baby continues to get C from you. Sudden reduction of vit C intake can cause withdrawl symptoms. The most important thing for me was to EAT PROTEIN. With my 2nd & 3rd pgs, my midwives had me eat a protein snack every waking hour. A handful of nuts, a hardboiled egg, a piece of cheese, a few bites of a chicken breast. Nibble nibble nibble protein all day long. Also avoid refined carbs - sugar, white flour, potatoes for some people. This helps keep blood sugar stable; my midwives claim pregnancy makes blood sugar swings more dramatic and it is these swings which cause the nausea...don't know how scientific their info is but it worked for me. They recommend 80-100grams of protein a day for pregnancy & breastfeeding. Typically humans need 60-80g/day so that's an extra 20 grams over what you should already be eating. (Generally 60 for small, inactive, or female people; more toward 80 for larger, more active, or male people...but eat what makes you feel your best.) Feel free to write me privately if you want. -Sara. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 24, 2004 Report Share Posted July 24, 2004 nausea during pregnancy can be a sign of B6 depletion. I guess you would have tolook up a recommended amount on line or ask your Dr. HOmeopathy can provide a lot of relief for cold symptoms. Look up " materia medica online " and type in your symptoms. You should be able to figure out an appropriate remedy from the choices/indications. If you can handle lemonade, a half lemon squeezed into very warm water and sweetened with whatever you like, then drunk straight down can relieve congestion. Hope you feel better soon [ ] medication for nausea? > I just found out I am pregnant with baby #4 and am wondering if > there is something " safe " out there to take for morning sickness.

Guest guest Posted July 24, 2004 Report Share Posted July 24, 2004 Do a websearch for Cumin aromatherapy oil. Mix a few drops of that with lotion and rub on your abdomen anytime you have nausea or any type of abdominal discomfort. It is miraculous at instantly curing it.
