A NOTE FROM OUR NATUROPATH
Struggling with
morning sickness?
Ema shares how Vitamin B6 may support relief from nausea in early pregnancy, along with gentle habits to help you feel more settled.
The Science Behind Vitamin B6
Up to 80% of women feel nauseous in early pregnancy. While the exact cause is not fully understood, hormone shifts, changes in brain chemistry and how your body processes nutrients can all play a role. Research shows vitamin B6 may help by:
Vitamin B6 helps balance important neurotransmitters like serotonin and dopamine. Low levels of these are linked with nausea, so supporting them may help reduce symptoms.
Pregnancy hormones can disrupt amino acid balance in the body. Vitamin B6 helps keep proteins and metabolism stable, which may ease feelings of sickness.
Histamine levels often rise in pregnancy, and this can trigger nausea. Vitamin B6 helps break down histamine, supporting more comfortable digestion.
Every woman’s experience is different. Research is mixed, but many find relief when Vitamin B6 is included as part of their pregnancy care plan.
Gentle habits to help
you feel better
Alongside Vitamin B6, small daily habits can make a difference. Here are four practices Ema recommends:
Eat small meals
Nourishing snacks every few hours may steady nausea.
Stay hydrated
Sip water, herbal teas, or even ice chips through the day.
Try ginger
Ginger tea, chews, or adding it into meals may ease queasiness.
Rest often
Fatigue worsens nausea, give yourself time to rest.
