Nausea and vomiting during pregnancy refers to the symptoms of repeated nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, and vomiting after eating that occur in women during the 2-3 months after conception. From a medical perspective, pregnancy nausea and vomiting is not a disease, but rather different reactions of different women's constitution to pregnancy. Therefore, there is no need to panic and seek medical attention excessively, and one should not take medication indiscriminately to avoid affecting the fetus.
In traditional Chinese medicine, to alleviate the symptoms of pregnancy nausea and vomiting, one can eat more ginger or chew a piece of ginger, as ginger is beneficial for the stomach and disperses cold. Combined with appropriate ginger-based diet therapy, it can achieve the effect of relieving vomiting. Below, I will recommend two medicinal diets for you:
[Traditional Medicinal Diet 1] Ume Ginger Soup
[Ingredients] 10g of Ume flesh, 10g of ginger, appropriate amount of brown sugar
[Preparation] Boil the Ume flesh, ginger, and brown sugar in an appropriate amount of water to make a soup. It is recommended to drink it twice a day.
[Traditional Medicinal Diet 2] Ginger Braised Chicken
[Ingredients] 1 chicken, appropriate amount of old ginger, rice wine, scallion, and other seasonings
[Preparation] Cut the chicken into pieces and set aside. Heat oil in a wok, add ginger slices, stir-fry until fragrant, then add the chicken and stir-fry until cooked. Add rice wine and the remaining seasonings, simmer until the chicken is fully cooked, add scallion and simmer for another 2 minutes. Serve as a regular meal.
