Ingredients

  • 1 cup warm water
  • 1/2-inch fresh ginger, lightly crushed
  • 1 tsp lemon juice
  • 1/2 tsp honey (optional)

Method

  1. Steep the crushed ginger in warm water for 3–4 minutes.
  2. Strain, then stir in the lemon juice (and honey if using).
  3. Sip slowly — small sips settle a queasy stomach better than gulping.

Morning ji-michli (nausea) is one of the most common early-pregnancy companions. Ginger has a long, well-loved reputation for soothing it, and a little lemon makes it easier to sip.

Keep it gentle — a small glass, sipped slowly. If nausea is severe or you can't keep fluids down, speak to your doctor. ParentVeda offers gentle, evidence-informed guidance — not medical advice. Always check with your doctor for decisions about your pregnancy.
