Colchicum 30C : If the sight or smell of food aggravates. Sucking on a piece of salted ginger and/or lemon may help. Morning sickness: (courtesy : WDDTY) A reader’s pregnant friend is suffering badly from morning sickness and is keen for ideas on safe, alternative remedies she can use to help. What has worked for readers, she asks? According to Julie, the first step is to take a look at your diet and make sure you’re not eating any fried or highly processed foods. “Research has shown that

people with unhealthy diets are much more prone to having morning sickness. Apparently, it is the body’s way of getting rid of toxins that could harm the baby,” says Julie. She recommends lots of fresh fruit, vegetables (preferably organic) and homemade food – strictly no ready meals. Gill, however, reckons simple sugars are the key to beating this common problem: “Take simple sugars in the form of dextrose tablets, as the condition is known to be an imbalance of fats to sugars called ketosis. Honey is a good source too. It worked for me and many friends over the

years.” Another idea is ginger tea. Simply peel some fresh ginger and add to a cup of boiled water. This worked a treat for Lois, who also recommends eating a couple of biscuits before getting up in the morning. She doesn’t mention which kind, but other readers have found ginger biscuits effective. A number of readers say the most important thing is to eat little and often throughout the day. “Eat whenever you are hungry,” says , “even if it’s in the middle of the night.” She thinks it’s important not to let your blood sugar drop, so recommends setting a watch or an alarm to go off every 90 minutes as a reminder to eat. A snack of frozen grapes is perfect for times when nothing else will go down, she says. Aside from diet, several readers suggest acupuncture for morning sickness. Two or three sessions a week can be effective according to Steve, who also points out that the technique can be

used to prevent as well as treat morning sickness. Alternatively, try using acupressure as a way to control nausea and vomiting in pregnancy. Other suggestions are homeopathy, gentle exercise and plenty of rest. "I am, and have been for years a confirmed anti-vaccinationist.
