Ginger and acupuncture can help reduce nausea during pregnancy.

Whether raw, in tea or in capsules, ginger noticeably lessens nausea, according to the Professional Association of Gyneacologists(BVF) in Munich.

The study showed that taking Vitamin B6 and stimulating certain acupuncture points by applying light pressure to body parts also helps. Special bands worn on the wrist can stimulate those points.

Changes in diet can also help, says the BVF. Women suffering from nausea should eat more meals, but smaller portions or eat something before they get up in the morning.

Three of every four women suffer from nausea or vomiting during the first trimester of pregnancy. It is most likely caused when hormones boost metabolic or pancreatic activity. Pancreatic function tests area recommended for especially bad problems.

This past summer was quite humid and damp here in New England. Most people and dogs who have any arthritic tendencies seemed to feel it more than usual. For both pets and humans one of the easiest and safe remedies for the stiffness and pain from arthritis is to take an Omega 3 oil supplement. Flax seeds or oil, Salmon oil or Cod Liver oil all come in liquid or capsule form.

Omega 3 oils lubricate the entire body, especially those creaky joints that seem to feel the brunt of damp weather. They also help skin, hair, hormonal balance and lubricate the intestines. Studies have shown that they also improve moods.

Acupuncture and herbal supplements can also relieve the pain and symptoms of arthritis and other ailments of the joints and bones. For more info on how acupuncture can help you please visit Four Paws Acupuncture
