Morning Sickness Remedies - 5 Proven Ways To Eliminate Morning Sickness
Morning sickness has confused expecting women and the medical community for years. Morning sickness is believed to be brought on by increased hormone levels in the expectant mother's body, morning sickness was once thought to be all in the mind of the mother. Fortunately, a solid problem has solid solutions. There are proven techniques to alleviate and even get rid of morning sickness. Here are five such techniques that deliver huge results:

1. Boost Your Consumption Of Vitamin Supplement B6 - Vitamin B6, also referred to as pyridoxine, has been shown to significantly decrease queasiness in expectant mothers. Vitamin B6 is already put into your prenatal vitamin because a pregnant woman's body needs 1.9 mg to maintain a healthy pregnancy. Much, much more B6 is required to get rid of the queasies. Up to 75 mg a day! You would have to eat an awful lot of cauliflower to hit that number! Luckily, your doctor can recommend a supplement to help your sickness. Taking too much vitamin B6 can be dangerous; never begin a vitamin regimen, particularly when pregnant, without first speaking with your obstetrician.

2. Eat Foods and Drinks That Contain Ginger - Many morning sickness remedies have been around for years. It's probable that your mom and grandma ate gingersnaps when they were pregnant. Ginger may be the best and simplest, morning sickness remedy available. Having ginger cookies and ale is fine once and a while, however remember that they contain large amounts of sugar! Fortunately, other forms of ginger such as tea, pills and ginger gum are available at most local pharmacies. If you opt for ginger capsules, consults your obstetrician first. She will recommend just the right dose to reduce morning sickness.

3. Wear Seabands - Acupressure bands are wrist bands that put pressure on the pericardium 6 pressure point on your wrist. They are known as seabands because they help to avoid seasickness. Acupuncture is used to relieve numerous problems, including morning sickness. Applying continuous pressure on the wrist purportedly calms nausea, making it one of the most low-maintenance morning sickness remedies out there.

4. Try Aromatherapy - We know that there are many smells that prompt queasiness, but we do not often think about the fact that there are also certain smells that help to abate nausea. Aromatherapy is not one of the first morning sickness cures people think about, but it can be very effective. Essential oils like spearmint, peppermint and lemon emit scents that help soothe and ease nausea. It works by stimulating nerves in your nostrils, triggering neurotransmitters inside the brain to release chemicals that decrease morning sickness. Take some essential oils, place them in a diffuser and inhale the aroma. You can also purchase bath gels, lotions, and aromatherapy candles to get a good whiff of healing aromas.

5. Ask Your Physician To Prescribe Something For Your Sickness - If the morning sickness remedies you have been utilizing don't give you any relief from your symptoms, speak with your physician. He or she may prescribe medication to ease nausea. This is generally done when excessive vomiting causes a pregnant woman to become severely dehydrated. A last resort, medication can help keep you out of the hospital.
