Dandelion Root & Wild Yam

Reading through "The Natural Pregnancy Book: Herbs Nutrition and Other Holistic Choices" today gave me a few more ideas on morning sickness cures. One is the use of Dandelion Root. It is a bitter that helps to promote digestion, helps to calm the stomach, and supports the liver. The recommended dose is 30-40 drops of tincture in water 3-4 times a day. 

The other suggestion is Wild Yam. It is supposed to reduce irritation in the hollow organs, including the stomach and uterus. The book recommends 30 drops of tincture 4-6 times a day. Rather than buying a tincture, however, I am going to use the Mannatech product Plus, which happens to be derived from Wild Yam (lucky me!). Since Mannatech produces excellent products, I feel very comfortable taking the pill form instead of the tincture. The recommended Mannatech dose is 3 tablets per day. I've taken them in the past and had my face break out with acne rather badly - but at this point, I'd rather have a nausea-free next few weeks with acne. =) We'll see if it helps.
