Nausea in Pregnancy
Many women experience nausea in early pregnancy, which is understood to be the result of rising human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) hormone levels. Midwives traditionally have been reassured when a woman experiences nausea, for this assures her that the woman is carrying her pregnancy!
WILD YAM – DIOSCOREA VILLOSA – DRIED ROOT
WILD YAM – DIOSCOREA VILLOSA – DRIED ROOT
It is such a valuable herb that it is among the plants listed on the United Plant Saver’s “at risk” list. Only purchase this herb from cultivated organic sources. Why is it so valuable? Wild yam is the go-to herb for nausea in pregnancy, among its many uses. It has also been used for relieving ovarian pain and uterine cramps before and during menstruation and it has been used to prevent miscarriage when used with crampbark (Soule, 1998).
I have made an anti-nausea tea that includes wild yam, fennel, peppermint, rosemary, nettle, chamomile, lemon grass, and ginger. These herbs aid in nausea, digestion, and calming spastic cramping.
Safety: None known. Pregnant women should speak with midwife or physician.
Dose: 2-4 mL 3x/day of a 1:5 in 40%. Decoction: 2 teaspoons decocted in 8 ounces of water for 15 minutes; 3x/day.
