Ginger is a natural way to curb morning sickness. While it may not work for everyone, it was the only thing that seemed to help me. I kept a few ginger chews with me at all times (chewy ginger candy with a powdered sugar coating). You can usually find ginger chews online or in specialty stores. I used to be able to find them at our local Costco World Market before it went out of business. Ginger candy is also available in sucker form, such as Preggie Pops, which you can find at Walgreens or Target. There are other ways to eat (or drink) ginger, as well. As long as you are using real ginger, as opposed to ginger flavoring, you should reap the benefits.
Ginger tea is a little spicy and very tasty. It’s simple to make. You will need 2 inches of fresh ginger root, 4 cups of water and honey or lemon. Peel and thinly slice the ginger. Boil the water. As soon as the water boils, add the ginger, cover, reduce the heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes. Pour through a strainer into your cup. Add lemon or honey to taste. If you prefer ice tea, chill the beverage after brewing and serve over ice. If your stomach can handle it, you can also sweeten it with a little bit of sugar.
Ginger cookies are another favorite. One of the best recipes I’ve come across is this one. You may not get the full effect from a cookie, but then again, these cookies are so good you may not even care.
Ground ginger can also add great flavor to baked apples, stir fry, or sweet potatoes.
Ginger is a good source of vitamin B6, another common remedy for morning sickness. If you do not like the flavor of ginger, you might try taking this supplement instead and see if it helps.
