While natural remedies might not work for everyone, these tips were gleaned from a large number of women eager to share what worked for them. Some of the suggestions are repeated over by many women. I decided to include most of the repetitions… If you feel you have tried everything, maybe you will find a new idea to try. There is conflicting information so you will have to explore and discover for yourself. If you “have tried everything” perhaps skip to the end to TheMomentsAtHome article… I’d love to know what has worked for you. Please share in the comments. Thanks

Vitamin B6 for Morning Sickness
  • Everyone says B6[1], and they’re right except that it takes time to build up enough B6 in your system, so you can’t expect quick results. A person should start taking it as soon as they find out they’re pregnant. The wrist bands work. I also liked a small amount (maybe 2 Tbsp) of lemon juice with salt. This works when nausea begins. Also, eating sweets will make it worse. Eat starch and protein, such as a bean and cheese burrito, right before bed.
  • Linum B6 just before bed. It is B6 in a flax based capsule. Works wonders!
  • Don’t drink fast. Take very little sips.
  • You won’t find many articles on it, but cannabis is very good for morning sickness and mothers that smoke it have babies that are more alert and start socializing sooner … God’s favorite plant.
  • If dehydrated, water can make it worse. Make an electrolyte drink with a pinch of salt, honey, lemon, and ginger. Sip that slowly.
  • Nux vomica is an amazing homeopathic remedy for nausea, vomiting, and motion sickness. It may also help with heartburn.
  • Organic apple cider vinegar with the mother. Ginger. Peppermint. Pickles. Lemon water.
  • Sour hard candy like jolly ranchers.
  • Magnesium
  • Constantly drinking sparkling water with fresh ginger. And popcorn was my staple! But popcorn made on the stove top, not microwaved.
  • Sour candy
  • Ginger tea
  • Sea band motion sickness bracelets.
  • Ginger
  • Floradix liquid calcium and magnesium.
  • An apple helped, usually nothing else I tried did. I had HORRIBLE entire pregnancy long sickness with my second.
  • A very weak ginger tea. Sip it, and eat protein, or drink protein shakes.
  • Kombucha!
  • The organic ginger Moscow mule simple truth Kroger mix! It’s perfect for so many reasons! (yes of course it’s alcohol free, it’s just an awesome thing to sip on!).
  • B6 was magic for me. https://www.uofmhealth.org/health-library/tn9126
  • I made my daughter a rollerball using doTERRA essential oils for down her spine, back of neck and wrists I personally sucked on hard candy lemon drops, they were sweet on the outside and sour inside. 
  • CBD oil [I highly recommend finding an organic full spectrum oil. I’ve found a great CBD oil with a 30 day money back guarantee].
  • Red jelly beans.
  • Hot caramel apple cider.
  • Homeopathy.
  • I have a friend who swears by apples and it has worked for most people that have tried it.
  • Almonds.
  • Dyclegis helped me so much this time! I know it is a med but I couldn’t function without it.
  • Saltine crackers.
  • Lots of good snacks around the clock… Till this fades.
  • I swear by Seabands.
  • This works: get a bunch of fresh ginger. Scrape off the peel and grind it to a pulp in the blender (very easy). Pack into a jar and add as much honey as you have ginger, half and half. Stir and refrigerate. Put 2 – 4 spoonfuls into hot or cold water and stir. Super yummy, honey is all melted in and mixes easily, the ginger settles the nausea almost immediately, and the ginger is good for you!
  • Baking soda water if it’s an emergency. Eat lots of alkaline foods. Nothing greasy for dinner. Take calcium and magnesium at night. And make sure to drink electrolytes at day time. 
  • Ginger tea.
  • I used ginger chews.
  • Sleep.
  • Smelling peppermint essential oil.
  • Magnesium!
  • Peppermint.
  • Gripe water.
  • A lack of B vitamins, especially B6 has been shown in medical studies to be low in women with hyperemesis grad. Also, try a spoonful of activated charcoal or bentonite clay on an empty stomach. Morning sickness may be a sign of toxicity – the body trying to get rid of it – watch the foods you eat.
  • Prego pops worked really well for me … and REAL ginger ale.
  • Natural didn’t work for me. I tried ginger, B6, wrist sickness pressure bands, peppermint and prig pops, staying hydrated and eating small and often … crackers etc. I did diclegis third pregnancy and it was wonderful, just had my baby 3 weeks ago. Healthy and beautiful. Did Zofran second time and nothing first time. I believe you do the pills to stay out of hospital. I’m sick entire 9 months too. It’s a killer. Try diclegis if you are not totally against the drugs. It’s the less of 2 evils and will keep you functioning very well I might add. 
  • Ginger tea & ginger candies worked so well for me and I had morning sickness something awful. I’d stay away from the Zofran if you can.
  • Ginger, peppermint, digestive enzymes are great, cannabis if it’s legal for medicinal use in your state? I hope you find relief momma! Maybe a tummy tea?
  • You can find cannabis tinctures and edibles that work great and have zero negative effects on health. 
  • Try bitters. I got it on line. You put a few drops of bitters in soda water or a soda drink. Aromatic bitters, brand name is Angostura. A young family member suffers from nausea all the time and this works like a charm. The active ingredient is an herb called gentian.
  • Morning sickness, according to my nutrition doctor, is when a body in early pregnancy is trying to detox itself and everything gets tossed in the stomach overnight so you wake up ill in the morning. The best way to eliminate this is to help with the detoxing process by eating live food only for a few days. I personally would eat tons of fruit because fruit is a natural cleanser. I never had morning sickness with either of mine so I did not have to try this myself but it’s worth a shot?
  • Find acupuncture point P6 on the inner wrist area. Rub, needle. Wear a wrist band with a small bead attached to stimulate the point.
  • Magnesium is essential, obviously tablets won’t stay down, so epson salts baths and magnesium spray on the skin can help.
  • Magnesium spray for sure!!
  • You can also try natural progesterone cream, sold at natural/health stores [my personal recommendation is Progesterall formulated by Dr John Lee]. Rub a dime-sized amount on a different area of your body twice daily. DoTERRA’s peppermint beadlets and the DigestZen oil blend also work great for some.
  • I drank kefir a lot with morning sickness. That was the only thing that really helped.
  • Sniffing fresh lemon helped me. And eating boiled rice with a bit of salt and sprinkled with fresh lemon juice.
  • Raspberry tea. The morning sickness is due to the rising level of HCG (human choriogonadotropic hormone) in your body. It peaks around three months and then it falls off and you start to feel better again. Out of five children I only had severe morning sickness once. I didn’t do much but want to lay on the couch most of the day. It is just something you have to get through knowing it won’t last. 
  • A high quality bio-active B complex such as Garden of Life Raw B, as well as magnesium. Hope it helps!
  • Magnesium, vitamins B6 and B12.
  • Cannabis oil or edibles.
  • Chinese medicine.
  • Try the Homeopathic nux vomica.
  • Try natural calm magnesium and acupuncture works!
  • Pedialyte pops.
  • Cannabis is safe and works wonders for nausea.
  • B6. Raw milk.
  • Sounds like hypermesis graviderum. Look into the hypermesis diet. Eat protein, smell fresh lemon for nausea, use the sea bands. I feel your pain. I was in hospital 2 times with my first child. It gets better the further along you are. Hang in there mama!!!!
  • Extra B6 helped me. I’m 5 days out from my due date and with number 2 and have had nausea and throwing up all 10 months with both pregnancies. Eating a little piece (like size of chocolate chip) of edible before bed helped me sleep without feeling like I was in a boat on days I was extremely bad. Peppermint oil on a sugar cube works, peppermint oil on wrists or neck, and peppermint tea works. Eating fresh ginger, or grating it and adding it to hot water with lemon and a tad bit of honey and sipping on it. Chewing on ice. And on certain days I will take vitamin water and dilute it with water. This time around I only had 2 IVs from dehydration last time it got to point that I was thankful for paramedic friends I have that would come give me them at home in my own bed. 
  • Real fruit juice popsicles.
  • Go on YouTube and search “nausea pregnancy acupuncture”
  • Use SeaBands on your wrists they look like tennis bands but have small weights in them that press on acupuncture points for nausea.
  • Acupunture there are 2 points under the tongue when one has morning sickness. It is because the body has not accepted the pregnancy yet. One treatment should help it is in the middle of the 2 thick blue veins under the tongue if you are afraid of acupuncture you can stimulate the 2 points with clear crystal points.
  • Ginger in hot water with honey.
  • You can find cannabis tinctures and edibles that work great and have zero negative effects on health 🙂
  • Coconut water.

Can CBD Oil Help with Opioid Addiction?

The bad news:

  • Americans consume 80% of the world’s opioids, yet comprise only 5% of the world’s population.
  • The opiate problem in the USA is lethal and growing.
  • Prescription opioid abuse is worse than heroin abuse; it is a bigger problem and it starts in the doctor’s office.
  • In the United States, nearly 50 percent of people who take opioids for more than 30 days in the first year continue to use opioids for three years or longer.
  • Nearly 60 percent of USA patients are taking opiates with other drugs that are known to make the opioids more dangerous, to make an overdose more likely.
  • In Maine, in one year, sixty-nine percent of drug overdose deaths were caused by prescribed opioids.
  • Nearly 80 percent of heroin users in the United States reported using prescription opioids before initiating heroin use.

    When a doctor is face-to-face with a chronic pain patient who says, “My pain is worse, the opioids aren’t working, I need more. If I don’t get them I’m not going to be able to go to work, I’m not going to be able to support my family, I’m not going to be able to function”—it’s hard for that clinician to say no.[1]

The good news:

  • There is significant scientific and clinical data highlighting the potential of Cannabis as a lifesaving treatment for opiate addiction.
  • Hemp is legal in all 50 states and CBD oil derived from hemp provides the same beneficial cannabidiol compounds as medical marijuana.
  • Taking CBD oil derived from hemp can provide profound help to those struggling with opioid addiction.
  • The best CBD oil delivers the full spectrum components of the cannabis plant without the THC since hemp contains less than 0.3% THC. There are no adverse side effects from CBD oil and it can provide lifesaving treatment for opiate addiction. CBD oil can be a first line treatment for opioid addiction, not a last resort.

Many people are finding the benefits of this natural plant which fit exactly with our endocannabinoid system. A unique plant and a unique design.

CBD is a powerful and beneficial natural component found in the hemp plant along with a whole spectrum of other cannabidiols. By definition, hemp plants contain less than 0.3% THC, known as the component which induces a “high”. Thus CBD oil is non addictive and you won’t get ‘high’.

CBD oil can dramatically reduce pain, lessen anxiety, and help maintain insulin levels. CBD oil is safe for children, the elderly and even pets! CBD is also brain protective and can enhance your immune system. Many have found taking CBD oil helps them sleep better and results in more energy throughout the day.

As the most prevalent compound found in the hemp plant, CBD works with our body’s own endocannabinoid system bringing balance to the body in a variety of areas. Many people experience dramatic health and wellness benefits. Even if you are not currently facing health challenges, adding CBD oil to your daily routine can provide protection to your brain, allowing you to enjoy a long full life.

The best part?

CBD is safe, effective, easy to add to your daily routine, and affordable! The cost is approximately 69 cents per day.

Easy Immune Boost

Posted on by

This is a recipe for a simple, economic, tasty way to combat nearly any type of illness in the initial stages. It is far more effective than a flu shot or most common over-the-counter medications. While pharmaceutical medications may reduce some symptoms, they generally do not assist and support the body towards wellness. Each ingredient in this Immune Boost has properties that support the body’s ability to mount a response to offending pathogens.

  • local raw organic honey (not for babies under 12 months), preferably produced by bees who do not have access to pesticide laden fields!
  • coconut oil (raw, organic)
  • powdered vitamin C either sodium ascorbate or ascorbate acid
  • cayenne pepper
  • turmeric powder
  • cinnamon
  • ginger powder

Mix equal parts of honey and coconut oil in a jar. You can either mix a Tablespoon of each, or 1/4 cup, or more. You might want to start with a smaller amount to try it!

Add all the other powdered ingredients in as large a quantity as you think you (or your child) will be able to tolerate. You can always start small, and add more. Usually you can put quite a large amount of vitamin C (remember you will only be giving a small amount of this mixture at a time) without it being too noticeable. Start with just a sprinkle of the spices. The honey and coconut oil are a great aid to masking the flavors of the vitamin C and spices.

Give a 1/4 – 1/2 teaspoon at a time. Give frequently until symptoms disappear!

What is it good for? Allergies, sore throat, cold sores (at the first sign), upset tummy, cold or flu, headaches, etc. Try to allow the mixture to sit in your mouth, under your tongue for as long as possible so it can be absorbed quickly sublingually.

Try it – you may be astounded!

Why? All of these spices have amazing properties of antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and provide immune stimulation/activation. It really works. And it tastes great – even for children. Elderberry syrup is another great immune booster to have on hand, but can be a little more work to prepare from the dried berries, or expensive to purchase.

CBD Oil is another natural supplement that provides excellent immune boosting benefits. Make sure your CBD Oil is organic, tested for purity and potency, and safely extracted. I have found a great product and am happy to answer any questions you may have about it. You can learn more and order CBD at http://healingplant.org.

Now that you are convinced to try CBD Oil derived from hemp because it is legal, safe, and highly effective as a health supplement, how do you decide which product to choose?

Dr. Rachna Patel, a medical marijuana expert, states there are three key questions to help you choose a quality product.

  1. Is the manufacturer/supplier of the oil accountable to anyone?
  2. Is the product lab tested?
  3. What method was used to extract the CBD oil?

I’m confident to report that the company I have been repping passes these tests with flying colors.

  1. They are accountable to you, the customer, and to their thousands of affiliates. They are so confident of their product, that they offer a 30 money back guarantee.
  2. Every batch is 3rd party tested for potency and purity. You can find certificates verifying the CBD content on their website.
  3. The CBD oil is extracted from organically grown hemp in the USA using a CO2 extraction method that does not leave behind any harmful residue.

Additionally, the prices compare very favorably with other quality brands AND there are no ‘fillers’ or unwanted ingredients – only full spectrum CBD and hemp oil.

Healing Plant

Most people have heard of medical cannabis. Most are aware of a recreational plant that is smoked, known by a variety of names: pot, weed, marijuana, cannabis, etc. Many have heard of CBD and perhaps CBD oil.

CBD is the abbreviated name for cannabidiol, an active cannabinoid found in cannabis. Cannabis is a plant that has been cultivated for both medicinal and industrial properties for thousands of years. Hemp is the word used for the cannabis plant which contains very low levels (< 0.3%) of THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) which can produce a psychoactive effect in the brain. Extensive research studies reveal the benefits of CBD, which has no psychoactive or harmful side effects. Hemp is legal to be grown and CBD oil is legal in all 50 states.

CBD oil has been found to reduce pain and inflammation, lower blood sugar levels, and protect the brain and nervous system from degeneration. These widespread benefits result because of the Endocannabinoid system in our bodies. In our body we have Cannabinoid type 1 receptors (CB1) concentrated in our central nervous system (CNS: brain, cranial nerves, and spinal cord). Supplementing with CBD oil can restore balance to many detailed chemical processes in the body.

Additionally, CBD successfully stimulates the release of 2-AG, an endocannabinoid that stimulates both CB1 and CB2 (Cannabinoid receptor type 2). These receptors play a key role in regulating mood, memory, appetite, sleep, and reduction of inflammation within the human body.

Watch this video which discusses the benefits of CBD oil.

Thus we see how CBD oil is able to bring so many different benefits to a wide range of people. Additionally, CBD oil is being studied for its ability to protect from cancerous cells and tumor formation. CBD may lower blood pressure, indirectly promote bone growth, and act as a natural antibacterial.

CBD oil is now legal in all 50 states, and many other countries in the world. It is safe. It is effective. It can be used by everyone from children to pregnant women. A detailed analysis and understanding of the cannabis plant and the Endocannabinoid system leads many to realise that this plant is uniquely designed as a primary ‘medicine’ for our body. CBD oil has also been found to bring benefits to many animals.

I am thrilled to have found a company that provides CBD oil from 100% organic, grown in USA, non GMO, hemp. This CBD oil is formulated with hemp seed oil, contains no other filler ingredients, and every batch is 3rd party tested for purity and potency. All this AND at an affordable price. If you have any symptoms at all, if you are currently using prescription medications and would like to reduce them, or if you would just like to protect your brain from degeneration due to natural ageing, this is a supplement for you. I will benefit in a small way from any purchase you may make, but, by far, the greatest benefit I receive is hearing the wonderful stories of pain relieved, medication reduced, and lives reclaimed because of this amazing product.

If you received this link from a friend, be sure to contact them so they can continue to share this incredible product and opportunity with you.
