Many women are afraid to take medicines for the treatment of vomiting and nausea during pregnancy, for fear of harming their child.

From nausea affects up to 80% of pregnant women. In connection with this, acupuncture and acupressure are widely used to treat nausea and vomiting in pregnant women.

Traditionally, one of the rather safe (though not always highly effective) methods of treating this pathology is ginger intake. Ginger, unlike traditional medicinal methods of treatment, does not increase the number of stillbirths, abortions and congenital malformations. Sixty women examined the effectiveness of ginger in 3. 3? 2. 9 SD points on a ten-point scale.

Thus, ginger can be recommended as an alternative symptomatic treatment for mild forms of vomiting of pregnant women.
