How it works

Gingerols and shogaols in ginger act on 5-HT3 receptors and substance P pathways involved in the vomiting reflex. Also accelerates gastric emptying.

Safe in pregnancy at recommended doses. Very high doses may interact with anticoagulants. Consult a doctor if nausea is severe or unexplained.

Why strong evidence

Multiple RCTs confirm ginger is effective for pregnancy-related nausea, chemotherapy-induced nausea and postoperative nausea. Cochrane review supports its use in pregnancy.

β€œSome improvement but not as dramatic as I hoped. Might need longer to see full benefit. Still continuing.”
