Nausea

This is also known as morning sickness, but can strike at anytime of the day. These symptoms of nausea and vomiting generally go away by the end of the first three months. Things that irritate the condition: low blood sugar, low blood pressure, hormonal changes, emotional ambivalence, deficiency of vitamin B6 and iron, or excessive amounts of grease or certain spices. Vomiting that is excessive needs medical attention.

Suggestions
Deep breathing may help, as well as relaxation exercises
A protein snack before bed will help low blood sugar in the morning
Get up slowly out of bed
Take a walk everyday
Anise, dried peach tree leaves, fennel seed, red raspberry or ginger teas
A teaspoon of cider vinegar in a cup of warm water
Infusion of ginger root
Smelling ground ginger
Increase iron rich foods in your diet
Ipecacuana 6X three times daily for 5 days
Nux Vomica 6X
Slippery Elm tablets, two before each meal
Aromatherapy: lavender, rose, or chamomile for a massage oil
