Ginger
Ginger, or luya, used in food and drink is a good way to add refreshing flavor and health benefits. It can be peeled and sliced and steeped in hot water to make salabat tea. You can add honey and lemon or calamansi to add flavor and a boost of vitamin C.
This is a great herbal remedy for soothing a sore throat or prevent a cold early on. It is also said to help with nausea which can ease morning sickness. If you do not have fresh ginger, you can buy the powdered version.
Pregnant women often suffer from constipation at some point during gestation. Adding fiber to your diet is an effective and natural way to improve bowel motility and form softer, bulkier stools. Eating more fruits, vegetables, and whole grains are great ways to include fiber in your diet. If that is not enough, psyllium with plenty of water can help.
