Ginger is helpful for treating morning sickness in early pregnancy, according to new guidelines from the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists (RCOG) in the UK. In fact, the evidence that ginger can reduce morning sickness is so strong, they have given it a top Grade A rating, quoting three systematic reviews to support its effectiveness.

In one analysis of data from six studies, involving over 500 pregnant women, taking around one gram of ginger per day, for at least four days, was five times more likely to result in an improvement in nausea and vomiting in early pregnancy than placebo.
