Chamomile tea

A sweet, earthy flower prized for its distinctive flavor and health-improving qualities are the source of chamomile tea. The digestive muscles are loosened and problems including motion sickness, nausea, vomiting, gas, and indigestion are treated with chamomile in conventional medicine. 4-month research involving 65 chemotherapy-treated women found that ingesting 500 mg of chamomile extract twice a day decreased the frequency of vomiting. A study of 105 women found that ingesting chamomile extract reduced pregnancy-related nausea and vomiting more effectively than taking ginger.

However, pregnant women should be aware that chamomile tea and other herbal teas may be harmful to their unborn children and should speak with their doctor before consuming them. Although chamomile flower extracts were used in these trials, chamomile tea may have similar benefits. To prepare it, soak 1 cup (240 ml) of boiling water with 2 grams (1 tablespoon) of dried chamomile for 5 to 10 minutes.
