Ginger (Definition) Human studies suggests that 1g daily of ginger may be effective for nausea and vomiting in pregnant women when used for short periods (no longer than 4 days). Several studies have found that ginger is better than placebo in relieving morning sickness. In a small study of 30 pregnant women with severe vomiting, those who took 1 gram of ginger every day for 4 days reported more relief from vomiting than those who took placebo.
Use ginger. Studies show that about 1 gram (0.04 oz) of ginger can effectively reduce nausea. Take up to one gram of ginger at a time, up to 4 grams per day. If you are pregnant, ask your doctor before taking ginger â the dosage for pregnancy ranges from 650mg to 1 gram, but should never exceed 1 gram.
