When well-researched and documented scientific articles are confirmed by personal experiences about a new medical procedure, it becomes more meaningful. So it is with a recent letter from Beverly Roach of Roseville, California.

Ms. Roach has kindly shared with us her daughter’s eventual success in counteracting severe morning sickness, which continued throughout her first pregnancy and required hospitalization. From The Lancet, an article dated March 20, 1982, entitled "Motion Sickness, Ginger, and Psychophysics," Ms. Roach learned of the benefits derived from taking ginger capsules for conquering morning sickness. Willing to try just about anything, her daughter, Donna, began taking ginger capsules for severe nausea half-way through her second pregnancy. The result? "Within 20 minutes of taking her first four-capsule dose of ginger, the nausea and vomiting stopped." With encouragement from her obstetrician, she continued taking three or four capsules in the morning, and more as needed throughout each day. This continued for nearly five months, with no ill side effects, until the birth of a healthy seven-and-a-half pound baby boy. She used the same dosage during her third pregnancy resulting in another happy, healthy baby.
