Ginger (rhizome of Zingiber officinale) is a well known herb for its culinary and wide range of medicinal uses and is considered an essential component of the kitchen pharmacy.More commonly, ginger has been traditionally used in disorders of the gastrointestinal tract, as a stomachic, laxative, sialogogue, gastric emptying enhancer, appetizer, antiemetic, antidyspepsic, antispasmodic, and antiulcer agent with sufficient scientific support. Similarly, ginger has been shown to exhibit anti-inflammatory, hypoglycemic, antimigraine, antioxidant, hepatoprotective, diuretic, hypocholesterolemic, and antihypertensive activities. Recently, ginger has gained wide attention for its therapeutic role as a safe and effective preventive treatment option for nausea and vomiting of pregnancy. Ginger has a long history of safety, as it has been used for centuries not only for medicinal purposes, but also as a food and spice. Although some health risk and safety concerns exist in the literature about its use by pregnant women, the clinical evidence of harm is lacking. Ginger might, therefore, be used as an effective treatment option for nausea and vomiting during pregnancy. In this article, we focus attention on these aspects of ginger.

“…Despite the fact that nausea and vomiting of pregnancy (NVP) is common and that a variety of drug treatments are available to control NVP symptoms, many pregnant women wish to minimize their use of any drugs during pregnancy. Several studies examining the use of complementary, nonpharmacologic therapies—such as reflexology, hypnosis, acupuncture, and acupressure—have been published showing favorable or mixed results 1–3 . A commercially available acupressure wrist band was approved by the US Food and Drug Administration in 2004 for the relief of nausea and vomiting related to morning sickness, chemotherapy, and motion sickness 4…”

from women who had TABs were included, no differences were found. When analyses were conducted to determine if differences existed between the two ethnicities, no differences were found between exposed and unexposed infants (adjusted odds ratio for Jews, 1.08; 95% CI, 0.78-1.49, and adjusted odds ratios for Muslims, 1.02; 95% CI, 0.86-1.22). The drug was not associated with increased rates of preterm birth, low Apgar scores, or perinatal death. No significant dose-response or duration of use effects were seen, and there were no differences by factors such as maternal age, ethnicity, smoking status, diabetes, or parity. A curious finding in this study was that rates of malformations were slightly higher when compared with previous studies. The authors suggest that the reason for this may be because all infants were examined by board-certified neonatologists, and consequently, detection rates, even for subtle malformations, were higher. Though earlier studies also suggested that metoclopramide was probably safe during pregnancy, because this study is based on a much larger sample size, these results may be more generalizable. One weakness of this study is that outcomes were based upon administrative data rather than actual review of subject's medical records. This may have led to some misclassification of outcomes.This study provides reassuring evidence for midwives and women regarding the probable safety of metoclopramide use during early pregnancy. The study data showed no increases in malformations, low birth weight, or perinatal death when compared with pregnant women who were unexposed. Midwives can share these findings with pregnant women suffering from NVP who may be concerned about the potential harm to their fetus caused by medications used during pregnancy.
