Nausea and Pregnancy

   Many remedies have claimed susses in treating the nausea often associated with pregnancy. The most promising approach, however, seems to be the use of vitamin K. Nausea during pregnancy may be created when the placenta “leaks” toxic substances through the capillaries (the tiny blood vessels) into the blood stream. Not too much is known about this “leaking” phenomenon other than  the fact that it seems to exist in many pregnant woman. Vitamin K is a clotting factor which helps to correct any “leakage” in the placenta, thus having a dramatic effect in relieving nausea in almost all who have the symptoms.

   A good source of vitamin K is fat soluble chlorophyII, which can be better utilized because vitamin K is also fat soluble and thus absorbed more easily. 1-2 milligrams of fat soluble chlorophyII, 3 times per day is all that may be needed to relieve the nausea associated with pregnancy.

Occasionally there may be a need for other nutrients, such as B-6. There may also be a need to correct an existing mechanical problem such as a hiatal hernia, which can cause nausea in any individual.
