Chamomile tea is one of the most popular teas in the world, and for good reason. Not only is it delicious, but chamomile tea has also been shown to be effective in easing digestive discomfort. In fact, chamomile tea is often recommended as a natural remedy for indigestion, heartburn, and other stomach issues. The reason chamomile tea is so effective is that it contains compounds that relax the smooth muscles of the digestive tract. This can help to reduce cramping, bloating, and other forms of gastrointestinal distress.

It is recommended that a safe consumption of chamomile during pregnancy is no more than 3-4 cups per day.

One of the most effective is ginger. Ginger is a popular remedy for nausea, and it can also be helpful for heartburn. The reason is that ginger helps to soothe the stomach and reduce inflammation. It can also help to speed up digestion and prevent the build-up of stomach acid. For pregnancy-related heartburn, ginger is considered one of the safest remedies.

Honey can be a great way to satisfy those sweet pregnancy cravings while also getting some important nutrients. Honey is a natural source of energy and contains vitamins and minerals that are essential for pregnant women, such as iron and folic acid. In addition, honey can help to boost the immune system and fight off infection. It also contains anti-inflammatory properties, which can help to reduce swelling in the body.

I remember being pregnant with my first child and feeling like I was on fire. I would lie in bed at night, clutching a pillow to my chest, and trying to will the burning sensation away. Thankfully, I discovered that apple cider vinegar can be a pregnancy heartburn lifesaver. The vinegar helps to balance the pH levels in your stomach, which in turn reduces the amount of acid present and lessens the burning sensation. The acetic acid in vinegar helps to neutralize stomach acid, making it less likely to cause heartburn.
