Ginger against pregnancy nausea: effective and natural

Ginger against pregnancy nausea: effective and natural

70 to 85% of pregnant women experience nausea in the first trimester. Ginger is one of the few natural remedies validated by rigorous clinical trials for pregnancy nausea.

  • Meta-analysis Viljoen (2014), 12 studies, 1278 women — 35-40% reduction in nausea intensity
  • Smith et al. (2004) — equivalent effectiveness to vitamin B6
