DESCRIPTION

Nausea during pregnancy. This usually occurs in the morning, but may occur at any time during the day or evening.

---

FREQUENT SIGNS & SYMPTOMS

Mild to severe nausea with or without vomiting usually during the first 12 to 14 weeks of pregnancy, but may continue throughout pregnancy.

---

CAUSES

Major hormonal changes that take place to permit normal growth of the fetus. Progesterone and other hormones cause involuntary muscles to relax, probably slowing movement of food through the stomach and intestines. They may also affect the vomiting center in the brain.

Hyperemesis and Hyperthyroid: There may be a link between hyperemesis and hyperthyroidism. This link is well established but little known (A publication on the subject in Br. J. Obstet.Gynaecol. in ~1984/85). It may be worthwhile to check thyroid function tests if hyperemesis is persistent. The abnormal thyroid function may be the cause or the result of the hyperemesis, but treatment of thyroid dysfunction may help the nausea. It is always a good idea to look for a goiter if this is a concern. It can be so embarrassing to do the TFT's, get them back abnormal, testing and examination can be done by a endocrinologist.

---

RISK

Unknown.

---

PREVENTIVE MEASURES

Do not let your stomach get empty; eat something every 2 hours if necessary.

---

EXPECTED OUTCOME

Morning sickness usually stops after the first 3 to 4 months of pregnancy.

---

POSSIBLE COMPLICATIONS

Hyperemesis gravidarum, a condition of pregnancy characterized by severe nausea, vomiting, weight loss and electrolyte disturbance (rare). This occurs in approximately 1 in 200 pregnancies. It can result in dehydration, acidosis, malnutrition, and substantial weight loss. Possible causes of abnormal vomiting include bile duct disease, drug toxicity, pancreatitis, inflammatory bowel disorders, vitamin deficiencies (mainly a lack of vitamin B-6), and the production of high levels of a hormone called human chorionic gonadotropin. This may occur due to the presence of cysts in the uterus or multiple pregnancy.

TREATMENT

GENERAL MEASURES

Try to identify the particular odors or foods that are most upsetting and avoid them.

Keep rooms well ventilated to prevent accumulation of cooking odors or cigarette smoke.

Do not smoke cigarettes, and ask family and friends not to smoke while you are experiencing morning sickness.

Keep a positive attitude. If you have conflicts that you cannot resolve, ask for help from family, friends or professional counselors.

Keep a daily record of your weight.

Be sure to keep well hydrated to prevent dehydration. This is especially important if you are vomiting frequently.

---

MEDICATION

Medicine is usually not necessary for this disorder. Do not take any medications during pregnancy without medical advice from your midwife or health care provider. A trial of vitamin B-6 may be recommended, which appears safe at the present.

Most allopathic anti-nausea medicines contain antihistamines, which have been shown to cause birth defects in animals. The following herbal and "old wives" preventions and remedies have no harmful side effects. If the morning sickness persists beyond the third month of pregnancy, seek the assistance of a wise woman, midwife, herbalist or other holistic practitioner.

Vitamin K and B-6 Shots may be helpful for a pregnant that feels very sick and dehydrated from vomiting. These injections are given once a week and may remedy the problem or at least lessen the problem so she does not have to be hooked up to an IV.

BENEDECTIN & UNISOM

Note: Never take any medication or supplement without consulting with your midwife or health care provider. These recommendations are from other midwives and their clients.

Each capsule contains 25 mg Vitamin B-6 (pyridoxine), 5 mg Unisom (the OTC sleeping medication that is not Benadryl) and 1/4 mg folic acid. Unisom is the new name for Benedectin minus the B-6 that was in Bendectin. Benedectin was removed from the market in the early 1970's due to teratogenic concerns. Allegedly there was never any proof that Bendectin caused any problems at all. It was voluntarily taken off the market by the drug company because it became too expensive to insure for liability due to a few law suits. As a result of all the accusations about Bendectin, it is now the best studied agent for treatment of nausea, and lots of good research to show it may be quite safe. The problem is the bad publicity. Bendectin was taken off the market not because IT was teratogenic. It was taken off the market because of Thalidomide, and the awful limb deformities caused by that anti-nausea medication. The studies done on all the components of Bendectin and none of them, individually or together, were ever found to cause an identifiable defect. The pharmaceutical company simply did not want to be the target of any more lawsuits, and so stopped making it. The recommended dosage for this medication was B-6 50 mg tabs, 1 tab orally three or four times daily in combination with Bendectin 25 mg, 1 tab orally three or four times daily.

NOTE - Avoid confusing Unisom Tablets with Unisom SleepGels, which contains different medication.

Vitamin B-6 is effective therapy for nausea and vomiting of pregnancy (a randomized, double-blind placebo-controlled study by Sahakian V, Rouse D, Sipes S, Rose N, Niebyl J Obstet Gynecol 1991 Jul;78(1):33-6). Try vitamin B-6 (pyridoxine) on its own first, 25 mg 3-4 times daily, not to exceed 100 mg a day. If the pregnant woman does not feel better after two days of this, keep giving the above dose of B-6 and add the antihistamine found in Unisom - 12.5 mg of doxylamine 3-4 times a day. (Note that the active ingredient in Unisom is actually diphenhydramine, not doxylamine. The doxylamine might make her sleepy, since it is an antihistamine, but not as sleepy as taking Unisom).

Vitamin B-6 Shots and Unisom: The B-6 (called pyridoxine) is give IM by injection and the Unisom is given 1/2 to 1 tablet two times daily. You can continue to use Ginger Root or Yellow Dock herbal supplements along with the medication.

Oral Vitamin B6 and Unisom: Oral vitamin B-6 is taken in the morning and the Unisom is taken at night. It helps to take away the nausea, helping you to cope with the day and you get a good night's sleep from the Unisom.

Unisom (doxylamine) and vitamin B-6 for morning sickness - from University Health Services of Eastern Carolina

Oral suspension of Unisom & B-6: An oral suspension of 10 mg doxylamine (Unisom) and 10 mg pyridoxine (Vitamin B-6) in 5 ml of a peppermint syrup. If someone really can't handle mint, a different flavor may be used, but the mint may add to the efficacy of the suspension. This can be taken up orally 4 times daily if needed but the sleepiness from the doxylamine may be a limiting factor. Some women with persistent nausea may have to continue to use this throughout their pregnancy.

Persistent nausea that starts after about 24 weeks (or that recurs around then after ending around 12-13 weeks) is often due to reflux, and is better treated with famotidine or ranitidine (Pepcid, Zantac). Also, do not forget that some persistent nausea and vomiting may be due to H. Pylori. It may be worthwhile to have this checked by your health care provider.

Pyridox Plus: Each capsule contains 25 mg Vitamin B-6 (pyridoxine), 5 mg Unisom (the OTC sleeping medication that is not benedryl) and 1/4 mg folic acid. It is taken one capsule mid-morning, one mid-afternoon, and two at bedtime. The folic acid addition can make it reimbursable by Medicaid if it submitted by your pharmacist or health care provider. The woman need to eat small meals every 1-1/2 hours, whether or not she throws them up. And not too much. A handful of pretzels with a little bite of cheese, etc. It is recommended that they sip either a caffeinated drink or tea with caffeine, hot or cold, all day.

If these measures do not work, Vitamin B-6 injections may need to be given (by prescription). The pregnant woman or her husband can be trained to give the injections by giving them a prescription of a multidose vial of vitamin B-6, along with alcohol swabs, 3 cc syringes, and strict instructions on how to handle the dirty needles. The used syringes can be stored in a large peanut butter jar and brought back to the midwife or health care provider for final disposal. The first week they get 100 mg, every day. It is suggested to be given at bedtime with 25 mg Phenergan added. The second week, they go to 150 mg, three times during the week. The third week, they go to 100-150 mg, depending on how they are doing, twice a week. The woman stays at this level until she feels better. You know when you are feeling better when your husband has to chase you down to give you the injection and he cannot catch you because you feel good. Some women need this all the way through their pregnancy.

For those worried about toxicity, research showed that more than 500 mg/day was the toxic level, whether it was given orally or by IM injection, or IV. (In early studies women got 1500 mg IV). There are no reports of teratogenic effects, but anyone, fetuses or grownups, can start having neural system problems, tremors, etc. when on sustained doses over 500 mg/day. None of the 100 patients who stayed at 150 mg or below, even every day, had any problems.

CORTICOSTEROIDS (PREDNISONE) THERAPY

One Mother's Story and Suggestions for Corticosteroids for Intractable Hyperemesis: I have had three pregnancies. During my first and third pregnancies, I developed hyperemesis gravidarum prior to the end of my sixth week of pregnancy. During the fourth week of my second pregnancy, I was hospitalized for a small bowel obstruction (a result of Crohn's Disease) and given intravenous corticosteroids (solu-medrol). After my release from the hospital, I continued to take oral corticosteroids (prednisone, 60 mg/day) for the duration of my second pregnancy. Interestingly, I never developed hyperemesis gravidarum during my second pregnancy.

While suffering from hyperemesis gravidarum during my third pregnancy, I repeatedly asked my obstetrician whether the corticosteroids had somehow prevented me from developing hyperemesis during my second pregnancy - an idea which she readily discarded. I have since learned that the successful use of steroids to treat intractable hyperemesis gravidarum has been reported in several medical journals. See, for example:

"Hyperemesis Gravidarum," Clinical Obstetrics and Gynecology,"
Goodwin T. (1998) 41(3):597-605

Management of Hyperemesis Gravidarum Using Steroid Therapy
Quarterly Journal of Medicine, Taylor R. (1996) 89:2, 103-107

Steroid Therapy for the Treatment of Hyperemesis Gravidarum
British Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, , and Nelson-Piercy C., de Swiet M. (1994) 101:1013-5.

Corticosteroid use should be reserved for those patients who fail to respond to more conventional treatment. During my third pregnancy, I was given every anti-emetic known to man, including Zofran, and I was put on total parenteral nutrition via a centrally placed double-lumen groshong catheter (spelling?). Yet, I continued to vomit blood-streaked bile. Ultimately, my pregnancy was terminated. I believe that steroid use could have relieved my suffering and allowed me to continue the pregnancy. Thus, I strongly encourage you to research this issue and consider recommending steroids for the most severe cases, particularly when the mother is considering termination.

HERBAL & HOLISTIC RECOMMENDATIONS

PRE-CONCEPTION PREVENTION OF MORNING SICKNESS & HYPEREMESIS GRAVIDARUM

A Cleansing Diet Program for 3 months prior to conception is suggested to prevent hyperemesis gravidarum and morning sickness problems after conception.

In our fast-paced world it can be difficult to find the time to prepare healthy meals. Unfortunately, our bodies pay a heavy toll for eating unhealthy "convenient" foods. To compound the problem, our bodies are also bombarded with chemicals and pollutants on a daily basis in the air we breathe, the water we drink, and the places we work and live. Under this heavy barrage of toxins, the human body will eventually reach a point where it is no longer capable of flushing toxic elements on its own, and they will begin to accumulate. This accumulation of toxins leads to a state of poisoning commonly referred to as toxicity. Common symptoms of toxicity include headaches, fatigue, increased allergy symptoms, overall aches and pains (particularly joint pain), and digestive upset. These symptoms occur when the body has become so bogged down by toxins that it can no longer perform necessary functions effectively. Toxins are generally acquired in one of two ways: either through things we ingest (such as foods, drinks, drugs, etc.) or through external sources (such as the air we breath, radiation, environmental chemicals, etc.). In order to rid the body of toxins, one must go through a detoxification program. The most commonly known way to clean out the system (or detox) is by fasting (eliminating solid food) for a set period of time. However, fasting is severe and can cause problems for people who are not accustomed to the practice. A much gentler way to help the body eliminate toxins is by adhering to a cleansing diet.

ULTIMATE CLEANSE PROGRAM TakeHerb: Ultimate Cleanse, 2 Part Internal Cleansing Program, Natures Secret, 120 Plus 120 Tabs The original complete internal body cleanser that helps you detoxify all five channels of elimination (bowel, kidney, lungs, skin and lymphatic system) as well as other organs, blood, cells and tissue with results you can feel in as little as 7 days. Ultimate Cleanse is 100% natural and contains the purest blend of herbs and fibers that gently sweep away wastes and toxins.

A cleansing diet works in two ways: first, it helps detox the body by halting the intake of toxins, and second, it further helps detox by flushing out the toxins currently in the body. Before starting a cleansing diet it is important to understand the effects of the food you are putting into your body. Many foods that are commonly thought to be part of a good balanced diet can actually have just the opposite effect. During a cleansing diet you want to avoid any allergenic foods, meat (particularly organ meat), dairy products (milk is very mucus forming), refined sugars and flours, hydrogenated fats, fried foods, eggs, and drugs. Many of the meat, dairy, and poultry products available in supermarkets are the products of animals that have been treated with hormones to help them grow and produce faster and have been given food that is treated with chemical pesticides. Those hormones and pesticides that have been ingested by livestock are then ingested by you when you eat. Other unhealthy sources of calories like fried foods, saturated fats, and refined sugars and flours place an extra digestive burden on a body that is already stressed by toxicity. The more processed a food item is, the less nutritional value it has and the harder the body has to work to utilize it. In a healthy system the introduction of a toxic or irritating substance is handled in one of three basic ways: the body is able to neutralize the toxin completely, transform it into something less toxic, or eliminate it completely from the body. When a state of toxicity has been reached, the body may be incapable of doing any of the above. So it's vitally important to try and eliminate as many known toxins as possible. A cleansing diet is based on the general idea that when all sources of incoming toxins are eliminated, the body will be able to start to eliminate stored toxins.

During a cleansing diet you will want to consume mainly whole grains, vegetables (preferably organic), fruits (again, preferably organic), pasta, rice, beans, and herbs. The more natural the diet is, the better. Consuming vegetables in a state as close to nature as possible is the healthiest for your body. When vegetables are cooked, they loose most of their nutritional value. Lightly steaming is a very good way to cook vegetables and still retain their nutritional value. It is also important to eat all organic foods if possible during a cleansing diet. Non-organic produce can contain extremely high levels of pesticides and chemicals. If you are unable to find organic produce, wash your fruits and vegetables thoroughly before eating them. Be sure to consume a wide variety of fruits and vegetables to ensure that you are getting enough of each of the eight essential amino acids. Soy products are an excellent source of vegetarian complete protein.

The second aspect of a cleansing diet is helping your body eliminate its toxin stores. The easiest way to accomplish this is by drinking water. Water is excellent at flushing out toxins and restoring health. You should drink at least a gallon of water a day (drink more if you are able). You can also drink natural herbal teas, natural lemonade (made without refined sugar), and other 100 percent juices. It is important to eliminate sugar sodas, diet sodas, coffee, and teas that contain caffeine. Exercise is also an excellent way to help the body rid itself of toxins. When you sweat, toxins are excreted directly through your skin via your sweat glands. Sitting in a sauna for limited amounts of time can also have the same effect.

The length of time a cleansing diet is maintained is based on individual needs. A cleansing diet is unlike other traditional "diets" because it can be maintained indefinitely and become a life style choice. It can also be used periodically to help give your body a boost when you feel it is needed.

The benefits of detoxifying your body are both short and long term. Immediately after detoxifying you might notice increased mental awareness, more energy, more comfortable digestion of foods, and better absorption of nutrients, as well as an overall feeling of good health. Long-term benefits can include a reduced risk of cancer, reduced risk of environmental illnesses, and reduction of chronic illnesses.

A cleansing diet should not be done during pregnancy or while lactating. Consult with your health care provider or midwife prior to starting any type of program or therapy, especially if you have health issues.

A Liver Cleanse Program (see liver cleansing products below) including 20 grams (20,000 mg) vitamin C daily for a couple of weeks before getting pregnant may help prevent nausea during pregnancy.

PREVENTING MORNING SICKNESS

There is a strong connection between nausea in early pregnancy and low blood sugar. Maintain blood sugar levels by eating small meals frequently, preferably every few hours. See DIET section for further information.

Walking a mile a day will help to prevent chemical buildup of by-products resulting from increased hormonal activity of pregnancy. If these are allowed to build up in the body, morning sickness can occur.

Increase available iron and the vitamin B complex (vitamin B-1 and B-6 are most important) through diet or nutritional supplements. A vitamin B-6 deficiency may cause morning sickness. Supplements of 10-20 mg daily in your diet will completely relieve this nausea.

Eat unsalted crackers, dry toast, or matzo before getting out of bed. You can keep some dry crackers, by your bed and eat a few before rising to help put something in your stomach.

Avoid spicy and greasy foods; even cooking greasy foods for someone else may nauseate you.

Pregnant women are very sensitive to smells. Surround yourself with healthy scented atmospheres. Some suggestions are Bergamot, Geranium, Lavender and Rose. To a bowl of hot water, add a few drops of one or more of these essential oils and let the aromatic vapors fill the atmosphere.

For aromatherapy use, a bowl of boiling water with 4-6 drops of Spearmint essential oil added, placed on the floor by your bed overnight, will help keep the stomach calm. The aroma molecules will waft up and gently do their work as you sleep, and after using this method for three consecutive nights the morning sickness should be gone or reduced. Alternatively, put one drop on your pillow. For all other uses, carefully dilute with a carrier oil such as jojoba, grapeseed, olive, or almond oil prior to use. Consult an essential oil book or other professional reference source for suggested dilution ratios. Spearmint oil mixes well with bergamot oil, lavender oil, or lime oil.

It is said that a single whiff of peppermint can help to relieve symptoms of nausea and indigestion. Use Peppermint Essential Oil, either on brown sugar or in honey water. One drop of essential oil taken every hour until relief is obtained is usually adequate to bring relief. Peppermint oil may cause liver problems if taken internally. Peppermint leaf tea may be preferable to using essential oil for internal use. However, as aromatherapy, peppermint oil in water, then diffused in the air can be effective for treatment of morning sickness. It will also nullify the effects of any homeopathics you are taking, so be aware. Other uses of Peppermint include it's effectiveness for the relief of circulatory disorders, nervousness, insomnia, flu, PMS, menopausal hot flashes, muscular pain, varicose veins, sunburn and insect bites. Peppermint is an incredibly invigorating and energizing pure essential oil. it's said that peppermint can help relieve mental exhaustion and fatigue. Inhaling Peppermint during periods of anxiety is said to have a calming and refreshing effect on the psyche. It may help to stimulate the brain in retaining memory. Peppermint is the only pure essential oil that can heat you up and cool you down simultaneously. It has been known to reduce chills and bring down a fever. Peppermint is credited with the ability to help relieve tension headaches. Peppermint acts as a sedative and is useful in nervous disorders. Its antiseptic and antibacterial properties render it useful in relieving skin conditions such as acne. Taken as a gargle, it can improve mouth conditions such as swollen gums, mouth thrush or mouth ulcers. Peppermint is also helpful in relieving a toothache. According to my landlady, Peppermint Essential Oil dabbed onto cottonballs and placed where there are mice, will make them avoid the area.

MOONDRAGON'S PREGNANCY TEA RECIPE

These four herbs are found in MoonDragon's Pregnancy Tea. The recipe is:

2 parts Red Raspberry Leaf (dried)
1 part Alfalfa Leaf (dried)
1 part Nettle Leaf (dried)
1 part Peppermint Leaf (dried)

Mix well and store in a glass jar in a cool dark place. Light will deplete the nutrients in the leaves. This tea can be consumed throughout pregnancy and is helpful towards the end of pregnancy to prepare for the birth. It is a good base tea to add tinctures or other remedies to during the labor and it can also be made into iced cubes and ice chips to be used by the mother during her labor. It makes a great sun tea and can be consumed cold or hot. I usually recommend about a quart a day of prepared tea. This gives the mom her fluids and helps with her nutrition. It can be used unsweetened or with a little honey added for sweetener, if desired.

GINGER ROOT FOR NAUSEA

Ginger root is a life saver for many. Take 2 capsules of ginger root 3 times per day. For ginger powder, take 1 gram of powder daily, in 4 divided doses. Use for short periods of time, and do not exceed 1 gram daily. No reported side effects. (pg. 116 Herbal Prescriptions for Better Health by Donald J. Brown, ND) The author cites a Danish study: Fischer-Rasmussen W, Kjaer SK, et al.: Ginger Treatment of hyperemesis gravidarum. Eur J Obstet Gynecol Reprod Biol 38:19-24, 1990.

For motion sickness, use ginger root for nausea. Start with 1000 to 1100 mg in the morning and then every 6-8 hrs as needed. Ginger root has been well studied and is more effective than Dramamine for treatment of motion sickness. Add Vitamin B-6, 100 mg twice daily. Works over 95 percent of the time.

We use ginger in many forms for relief of nausea. It can be in the form of ginger root capsules (desiccated ginger, such as used in cooking, tea made from freshly grated ginger, ginger ale (with real, rather than artificial ginger), ginger cookies, a product called Ginger Works which is ginger in some sort of thick, sweet syrup. There are actually controlled clinical trials which showed that ginger was more effective than Dramamine for motion sickness. The study involved spinning folk in those space simulators, and measuring the time until they vomited, demonstrating the superiority of ginger over Dramamine.

GINGER GENERAL INFORMATION Ginger (Zingiber officinale; Gan Jiang) has been used safely for thousands of years in a wide range of Ayurvedic and traditional Chinese herbal formulas that benefit the stomach and promote digestive function. Ginger is also used in these formulas as an agent to carry or reinforce the actions of other digestive herbs. It is considered to be a warming herb as it enhances circulation and absorption. Ginger is essential for the reduction and frequency of morning sickness, upset stomach, seasickness, and motion sickness. It is also used expel gas (relieving flatulent colic) from the intestines and to help reduce fevers and lessen symptoms of colds. It is soothing to the digestive tract. Ginger tea can be made by slicing the fresh root into small pieces and added to hot water or milk to steep. It has a slightly "spicy" flavor to it. Ginger can be obtained in candied pieces and popped in your mouth if you are having indigestion problems. A standard dose for most purposes is 1 to 4 grams of powdered Ginger taken daily in 2 to 4 divided doses. Prepare a dose of ginger infusion by taking 10 to 30 grains or 1 ounce of ginger powder or bruised root and adding it to a pint of boiling water, take 1 or 2 fluid ounces at a time. In acute colds the entire train of symptoms may be aborted in a single night, by advising the patient to take a hot mustard foot bath at bedtime, while the body, prepared for bed, is wrapped in warm blankets. During the foot bath the patient should drink a glass or two of hot water, each of which contains half of a dram of the tincture of ginger. To prevent motion sickness, begin treatment 1 or 2 days before the trip, and continue taking it throughout the travel period. Make Ginger tea from the boiled Ginger root as a remedy for nausea associated with pregnancy. Chilled, carbonated, and sweetened Ginger tea is the original form of ginger ale, the famous anti-nausea beverage. Powdered Ginger can be used in the tea instead of the root. Ginger is contraindicated for people with gallstones and should only be used after consultation with a health care provider. GINGER TEA RECIPE 4 cups of water 2 inch piece of fresh ginger root optional: honey and lemon. Peel the ginger root and slice it into thin slices. Bring the water to a boil in a saucepan. Once it is boiling, add the ginger. Cover it and reduce to a simmer for 15-20 minutes. Strain the tea. Add honey and lemon to taste. Note: Keep in mind that if you are making this tea to strengthen the immune system and ward off colds and flu, sweeteners are not recommended. Ginger milk can be done the same way, substituting milk for water. This is good for warming the system up after being in the cold and is soothing to the stomach too. I often made ginger milk after shoveling snow off the sidewalk and needing to be warmed up. You could also add a dash of cinnamon, if desired to the ginger milk.

HOMEOPATHIC REMEDIES

Nausea during pregnancy can be miserable, to say the least. It can be discouraging to have to adapt to one more thing during this time, as if you do not have enough to deal with while pregnant. Some women experience a slight nausea or only feel ill or queasy in the morning, but for some women it lasts all day and is even troublesome at night. Discomfort usually eases off by the third or fourth month, but this is not always the case. Homeopathic remedies can be very helpful to a woman with morning sickness and are safe to take during pregnancy.

Use either a 12C or 30C potency (strength, or potency recommended or available) of the indicated remedy a few times per day, as needed. If a few doses bring no relief, try a different remedy.



ARSENICUM ALBUM:

Arsenicum Album (Arsenous Acid) - This is a homeopathic remedy that may be used for calming upset stomach, warding off diarrhea symptoms and vomiting, often accompanied by great thirst, restlessness and sciatica. Worse after midnight. May be used for cramps, gastroenteritis, hay fever, chills, dermatitis, inflammation of all degrees of severity in all organs, serious infections, diseases of attrition, benign and malignant proliferation of tissue and emotional discord or upset. Relieves any restlessness symptoms and therefore much better suited to a busy lifestyle. For homeopathic use, arsenicum album is prepared by separating arsenic from iron (as in arsenopyrite), cobalt, or nickel by baking at high temperatures. The powder is then ground and diluted with lactose. In the final dilution, there are normally no atoms of arsenic left. The final product is sold as tinctures (liquid), tablets, pellets, or powder. Adults dissolve 4 tablets under tongue 4 times daily. Children 2 tablets. In acute cases take 4 tablets every hour until relieved, or as directed by a health care practitioner. As with any drug, if you are pregnant or nursing a baby, seek the advice of a health professional before using this product.

ASARUM:

Asarum - This remedy is indicated when a woman feels very ill, with constant nausea and retching. She is extremely sensitive to everything, especially noise, which can aggravate the nauseous feelings. She feels best when lying down and resting. Cool drinks or food may help, but it is hard for her to even think of eating.

Colchicum - Horrible nausea that is worse from the sight and smell of food (especially cooking food, eggs or fish) often indicates this remedy. The woman retches and vomits even at the thought of food, and has a sore and bloated feeling in the abdomen. Her nausea is also worse from even the slightest movement. She has trouble eating anything, although she often craves things, when she tries to eat them they make her sick. She is likely to feel ill from many smells that others do not even notice.

KREOSOTUM:

Kreosotum - When this remedy is indicated, the woman may salivate so much that she constantly swallows it, becoming nauseous. She may also vomit up food that looks undigested, several hours after eating.

Kreosotum, or creosote, is made from distilled beechwood tar. It has been used for centuries as a wood preservative and was first used for medical purposes in the 1800s. It is currently used to treat a wide range of conditions, such as bed-wetting, bleeding between menstrual cycles, ailments affecting the mucus membranes, and nausea due to pregnancy. To make a solution of kreosotum, creosote is typically dissolved in alcohol and distilled water. Next, it is strained through a filter until the liquid is extracted, making a mother tincture. One drop of the mother tincture can be diluted further in a mixture of alcohol and distilled water. This new, diluted mixture is then vigorously shaken. It can be diluted further, if necessary, or added to tablets, granules, or powder, and stored. People who practice homeopathic medicine claim that kreosotum works best on certain types of patients. For example, they claim that people who are consistently in a temperamental state are ideal for the drug. It is also believed to work well on people who are forgetful, restless at night, and irritable. Other characteristics that are common among patients who use kreosotum include a penchant to live in the past and experience repeated dreams that are sexual in nature. It is often used to treat candidiasis as well. Candidiasis is a fungal infection that usually affects the vagina. Kreosotum is usually recommended for people who have an offensive, foul-smelling discharge coming from the vaginal area. The odor is usually accompanied with soreness and burning, especially when urinating. It can also be used to treat discharge and bleeding from the cervix and uterus. Some homeopathic medicine practitioners recommend kreosotum if a woman has bleeding on the days between her menstrual cycles. It is sometimes recommended for women who have heavy menstrual cycles or an odiferous flow that is accompanied by a burning sensation. There are also claims that it can be used to treat nausea due to pregnancy. Bed-wetting, or nocturnal enuresis, is a common problem, especially in young children. By the time many children are three years old, they have the ability to control their bladders. Many children still have problems controlling their bladder at night, however, even when they are six or seven years old. Kreosotum is often recommended to help a child who wets the bed when in a deep sleep. Usually a practitioner will recommend the child ingests the mixture before bed for two weeks in the hopes of having a dry bed in the morning. Although side effects are rare, most people should consult a professional before using kreosotum. A professional opinion is especially important for children, women who are pregnant, and women who are breastfeeding. If any concerns arise, it is best to stop using the drug.

The woman may salivate a lot and have burning stomach pain. She usually has a decent appetite and her appetite is not affected, or she may have increased appetite, Nausea is better after eating and worse from the smell of tobacco smoke.

NUX VOMICA:

Nux Vomica - Nausea, especially in the morning and after eating, may respond to this remedy, especially if the woman is irritable, impatient, and chilly. She may retch a lot and have the urge to vomit, often without success. Her stomach feels sensitive to pressure and crampy, and she may be constipated. If necessary, Nux Vomica can be taken in alternation with Ipecacuanha.

Nux Vomica(Poison Nut from the Strychnine tree) is a homeopathic remedy to treat heartburn from coffee, alcohol or rich foods, as well as nausea and vomiting due to overeating and drinking. Used for gastric and liver disorders occasioned by high living, overeating or excessive medication. Hangover medicine, Nux Vomica also can help break the habit of using laxatives. May also help constipation, flatulence, indigestion, motion sickness, backaches, fevers, and headaches. Adults dissolve 4 tablets under tongue 4 times a day, children 2 tablets as above.

The woman is not very thirsty, although she may feel better from drinking something cool. She can crave many different foods, but feels sick from many things (including foods she craves). Creamy foods or desserts may be appealing, but can cause discomfort and burping or bring on vomiting. A woman who needs this remedy usually is affectionate, insecure, and weepy, wanting a lot of attention and comforting.

VOMITING OF PREGNANCY #317:

For morning or anytime nausea strikes, vomiting, irritability, diarrhea and indigestion.

Whether it comes in the morning or anytime you see food, this remedy may be your answer to a safe well nourished pregnancy. The little known remedy called Cerium, has a very singular purpose in homeopathy - vomiting of half digested food especially during pregnancy. Ipecac helps nausea that wants to vomit but cannot, or nausea that remains after vomiting. Nux vomica is here for the pregnancy plagued by almost constant nausea. Its nausea is worse in the morning, after eating or with tobacco, which may or may not cause vomiting. Sepia helps many pregnancy symptoms including nausea with a gnawing pain relieved only temporarily by eating and aggravated by morning, milk and pork. Tabacum's violent sour nausea and vomiting feel better in fresh air (though that may worsen dizziness), and worse for morning, travel or fasting. Miranda Castro's pregnancy book, lists all these ingredients (except Cerium) as safe for morning sickness, and Cerium is referred to in several Materia Medica. Though homeopathy is very safe, drugs are drugs, so please seek professional advice during pregnancy.

ELECTROLYTES & DEHYDRATION

Drink an electrolyte-balancing tea for nausea in pregnancy. Electrolyte balance can be severely altered in your body during ongoing vomiting episodes. You will need to replace those fluids and nutrients lost while having morning sickness.

ELECTROLYTE REPLACEMENT TEA 1/2 cup lemon juice 1/3 cup honey 1/4 teaspoon salt 1 calcium tablet, powdered (not bone meal of dolomite) Enough water to make one quart of fluid. Have the woman take spoonfuls at regular intervals. TakeHerb: Coral Calcium Powder, Source Naturals, 8 oz. Kalyx: Calcium Citrate Powder, Frontier Natural, 1 lb. HerbsPro: Coral Calcium, Source Naturals, 1200 mg, 60 Tabs

If you have serious problems with morning sickness and you are becoming dehydrated, a hydrating enema is a treatment that was used before IVs and can be used in place of IV therapy. Any nourishing substance can be absorbed in the bowel. You may need to do a cleansing enema first to clean out the bowel before using a hydrating enema. Here are a few suggestions for a hydrating enema:

• Pedialyte, a commercially made electolyte solution given orally to sick kids can be used via a hydrating enema.
• A solution containing one tablespoon of sugar to one teaspoon salt dissolved in one quart of water.
• A weak red raspberry leaf tea with a little honey and a pinch of salt.
• Saline solution consisting of a heaped teaspoon of common salt in a pint of boiling water. Allow to cool to 100°F (which is near body temp and should feel warm but not hot). This should be given via an enema slowly into the rectum and repeated at intervals of three to four hours. This is a recommendation for shock and collapse due to hemorrhage or any other cause when the patient is in need of bodily fluid from severe loss.


Enemas need to be given warm and very slowly. It is surprising how well solutions are absorbed and tolerated using this method.

ACUPRESSURE / ACUPUNCTURE FOR NAUSEA

Acupuncture May Ease Morning Sickness. If morning sickness has you on pins and needles, acupuncture may bring relief, a new Australian study suggests. The ancient Chinese art helped ease nausea and vomiting symptoms among nearly 600 women tested, reports BBC News Online. The women, all less than 14 weeks pregnant, received weekly 20-minute acupuncture sessions for four weeks. Most symptoms were gone by the second week, the Adelaide University researchers report in the American Journal Birth. (3/1/02).

Between 1 and 2 percent of pregnant women experience hyperemesis gravidarum, or severe morning sickness. A randomized, placebo-controlled crossover study found that stimulating acupuncture point PC6 helps ease nausea and vomiting. Thirty-three women (average age 28.4 years) were divided into two groups. Group A received deep needle insertion at the PC6 point on both forearms three times per day for 30 minutes. Group B received a form of placebo acupuncture, with a needle inserted superficially approximately four inches above the wrist on each arm. On days one and two of the eight-day study, each group received their treatments; after two more days of no treatment, the procedures were switched for each group. Each day, the women rated degree of nausea and recorded instances of vomiting. Those women given active acupuncture experienced a "significantly faster reduction of nausea" compared with those who received a placebo. This reduction was seen in both groups; identical results were seen in each group when the treatment was switched. The incidence of vomiting was also reduced in both groups, with a much greater reduction seen in those receiving active acupuncture. Daily vomiting had been reported by all 22 women at the study onset; by day three less than half of the women in the active group were still vomiting compared with 75 percent of those in the placebo group. - Journal of Pain and Symptom Management, October 2000;20(4):273-279.

Acupuncture May Facilitate Recovery From Hyperemesis Gravidarum (Medscape)

A midwife recently had a client with severe hyperemesis, on home IV's with a PIC line, etc. She went to her local acupuncturist and reported immediate relief with the first puncture. It lasted about two days. The acupuncturist also gave her a lot of interesting dietary information. The return of the nausea was frustrating when the client was not able to pay for regular sessions, but the relief was dramatic.

The most common acupuncture point utilized for the quelling of nausea is located on the underside of the wrist, approximately three finger-breadths above where the wrist meets the bottom of the palm of the hand, and in line with the ring finger. Because of the simplicity of finding this point's location and the ease with which it can be accessed, pregnant women experiencing the nausea of "morning sickness" will often press their fingers into this point when a wave of nausea hits them.

Acupressure on the ear. Basically, the area is right on the outside edge of your ear - right across from the opening. Stick your finger in your ear and then slide it across to the outside edge. Many people notice a sore spot there when it is squeezed. If you feel a tender area, you have found the right place. Whenever you feel the nausea, just find the place and squeeze that area with a good amount of pressure and hold it for 30 seconds. If the nausea is still there, you can hold it for up to 2 minutes. Either ear can be used or alternate from ear to ear.

Sea Bands are the most effective remedy for morning sickness that is freely available. You will find them at travel agents, Walgreens & CVS Drug Stores, K-Mart & Walmart Stores, as well as some health food stores. www.sea-band.com

The ReliefBand® device is a watch-like device worn on the ventral side of the wrist. When activated, the device emits a low-level electrical current across two small electrodes on its underside. The ReliefBand® device is the first patented, commercially available Nausea-Vomiting device to reach the clinical marketplace.

The ReliefBand® NST(TM) device is indicated for use in the treatment of nausea and vomiting (NV) due to chemotherapy, motion sickness, and pregnancy.

Phenergan (Promethazine) Rectal Suppositories is a antihistamine for moderate to severe allergic reactions. It may help some women. Ask your health care provider about safety and dosage during pregnancy. These are contraindicated for use in children.

A herbal blend of Linden and Meadowsweet taken as a tea. If nausea and vomiting is still a problem, a hydration enema with warm water and plain Pedialyte may be necessary to supplement oral fluids.

Linden's flavonoids and glucosides have been shown to have a relaxing effect, and to stimulate the body's infection-fighting mechanisms by inducing body heat, that is, forcing a mild fever and sweating, diaphoresis. This makes it a value in feverish colds and flu. Linden is well known as a relaxing remedy for use in nervous tension. It has a reputation as a prophylactic against the development of arteriosclerosis and hypertension. It is considered to be a specific in the treatment of raised blood pressure associated with arteriosclerosis and nervous tension. Its relaxing action combined with a general effect upon the circulatory system give Linden a role in the treatment of some forms of migraine. Linden flowers are only used in infusion or made into a distilled water as a remedy for indigestion or hysteria, nervous vomiting or palpitation. Prolonged baths prepared with the infused flowers are also good in hysteria.

Meadowsweet contains salicylates (salicin, salicylaldehyde, methyl salicylate), which, in the digestive tract, are oxidized into salicylic acid, the basis of aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid). Meadowsweet's salicylates have a mild anti-inflammatory and fever-reducing effect, making it a safe and gentle cold and flu treatment, suitable for children. The German Standard License for Meadowsweet tea indicates its use for feverish common colds for which a sweat treatment is desired and also to increase the amount of urine. In France, it is used for fever and influenza. Meadowsweet has a soothing effect on the lining of the stomach. The British Herbal Compendium indicates its use for atonic and acid dyspepsia, gastritis, peptic ulceration, and rheumatic and arthritic pains. For these purposes it is often combined with Marshmallow and Chamomile. An infusion of 1 ounce of the dried herb to a pint of water is the usual mode of administration, in wineglassful doses. Sweetened with honey, it forms a very pleasant diet-drink, or beverage both for invalids and ordinary use. An infusion of the fresh tops produces perspiration, and a decoction of the root, in white wine, was formerly considered a specific in fevers.

Get your protein from vegetable sources, such as grains and legumes. Fish and low-fat dairy products are also acceptable sources of protein. Spirutein protein shake are available at health food stores and online. It comes in several appetizing flavors. Some health food stores have little sample packets, so you can decide which one you like the best. Consuming adequate protein is an effective way to help prevent and manage pregnancy nausea. You may have to force yourself to consume the protein because of your nausea, but it you follow it through, you may find yourself feeling better in a few days or so. You should do 2 shakes a day, if you can - morning and evening. You can mix the protein powder with milk, soy milk, rice dream, whatever you drink, plus you can blend it with all sorts of fruits, to make it a more palatable "smoothie". It is also helpful for people with low energy, and is great for late pregnancy when your uterus is heavy, and you cannot get eat as much food. You can use other brands of protein.

Some people say that nausea beyond mild nausea between weeks 4-12 is caused by a contracted blood volume. It is easy enough to try to remedy this by drinking lots of water (3 quarts - 12 glasses each day) and taking baths to keep the fluid out of the tissues.

Eating a peppermint pattie with the combination of peppermint, sugar and feel-good hormones was helpful.

Herbal teas to be sipped hot: Spearmint, Peppermint, Raspberry, Chamomile, and Ginger. Rotating the teas can be helpful.

Chew food thoroughly.

Avoid large amounts of fluid with meals (drink 15 minutes before eating and all the fluid will be absorbed if it is over 95 percent water).

Avoid greasy, gassy or fatty foods (snack on high-carbo foods).

Chewing gum helps some women.

Moderate exercise improves GI tract function. Susun Weed recommends walking a mile a day to combat nausea.

Iron supplements can make some sick, if so consider nutritional iron. Have your health care provider or midwife check your iron levels with a simple blood test before taking iron supplements. Consider increasing iron in your body by eating iron-rich food products or taking a supplement made from whole foods instead of using a conventional iron supplement.

ACTIVITY

No restrictions. Moderate exercise is encouraged and may help alleviate morning sickness.

---

DIET

Place small, quick energy snacks, such as soda or whole-grain crackers, whole wheat toast near your bed and eat some before arising.

Eat a small snack at bedtime and when you get up to go to the bathroom during the night.

Eat small, frequent meals and snacks on whole-grain crackers with nut butters (but not peanut butter) or cheese. Avoid large meals. Snacks should consist of high-protein foods with nut butters on apple wedges or celery; nuts; popcorn with nutritional yeast; brown rice with miso; bread & tahini; a quarter sandwich; cheese and crackers; milk; cottage cheese; yogurt sprinkled with granola; turkey or chicken slices. Avoid foods that are high in fat and salt and low in nutrition.

Do not go without food or drink because of the nausea. Sip on fluids throughout the day to keep hydrated.

Maintain good nutrition suitable for pregnancy. Keep in mind that a higher than normal intake of nutrients will probably be necessary. Malabsorption, altered metabolism and weight loss are common among patients with moderate to severe morning sickness. If you take a supplement for pregnancy and have problem with keeping tablets or capsules down, consider taking a liquid form of prenatal supplement instead. It is absorbed faster and more likely to stay in your stomach.

The most comprehensive, intelligently formulated product available to support the vibrant health of your baby and yourself, these formulas include a complete range of the nutrients women and developing babies need, including folic acid, with whole foods and herbs to ease digestion.

Increase your intake of fresh fruits and vegetables. Eat a diet consisting of 75 percent raw foods, organically grown if possible (avoid foods that have been treated with pesticides and other sprays), plus lentils, beans, seeds, nuts, and whole grains, including brown rice and millet, and also non-acid forming fruit, such as bananas, all berries, peaches, apples, and melons. Raw foods are particularly important because cooking depletes foods of their vital enzymes.

Eat plenty of cruciferous vegetables, such as broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cabbage, and cauliflower. Also, consume yellow and deep-orange vegetables such as carrots, pumpkin, squash, and yams.

Consume plenty of live juices. Juicing is extremely beneficial for supplying nutrients. Green drinks made from leafy greens such as kale, spinach, beet greens, and carrot and beet root juice, should be consumed on a daily basis, with garlic and onion added. Kyo-Green from Wakunaga is an excellent green drink product that contains chlorophyll, protein, vitamins, minerals, and enzymes. Take this drink three time daily. (See nutrient chart and links below.) Wheatgrass is a rich nutritional food and blood cleanser. It reduces abnormal cell growth and fights unfriendly bacteria.

Eat unripened papaya (including a few of the seeds), fresh pineapple (contains bromelain), and Aspergillus oryzae (a type of fungus) frequently. These foods are good sources of proteolytic enzymes, which are crucial for proper digestion of foods and assimilation of nutrients. Without enzymes, the body cannot be supplied with the energy it needs for its activities. These food items can be combined in a blender for a smoothie drink, if desired. Additional enzymes can be added and mixed into the drink blend. Enzymes are destoyed by heat. Canned and frozen foods (unless freshly frozen) have been heat treated during processing. Use only fresh foods. Enzymes can also be taken in supplemental form. These help in digestion in the lower stomach and intestinal tract.

RED RASPBERRY LEAF PRODUCTS Raspberry Leaf tea has been used for centuries as a folk medicine to treat canker sores, cold sores, and gingivitis in persons of all ages and anemia, leg cramps, diarrhea, and morning sickness in pregnant women, and as a uterine relaxant. Commentators frequently state that recent scientific research found no benefit in raspberry tea for expectant mothers, but this is not correct. The study published in the Journal of Midwifery and Women's Health in 2001 found that women who drank raspberry leaf tea had shorter labor, and fewer of their babies were delivered by forceps. The other study, published in the Australian College of Midwives Journal, cited in The Natural Pharmacist as saying there was "no" benefit to the herb for pregnant women, actually stated:"The findings also suggest ingestion of the drug might decrease the likelihood of pre and post-term gestation. An unexpected finding in this study seems to indicate that women who ingest raspberry leaf might be less likely to receive an artificial rupture of their membranes, or require a caesarean section, forceps or vacuum birth than the women in the control group." In other words, scientific studies show that drinking raspberry tea actually is beneficial during pregnancy.
