Blessy Varghese

Abstract: This study investigates the efficacy of ginger tea in alleviating morning sickness among first-trimester primi antenatal mothers in a rural setting in Bangalore. Employing a quasi-experimental non-randomized design, the research involved an experimental group receiving ginger tea and a control group without it. Pre-and post-test scores were measured using the Modified Rhodes Index of Nausea Vomiting and Retching tool. The results demonstrate a significant reduction in morning sickness symptoms in the experimental group, establishing the effectiveness of ginger tea in mitigating this discomfort. Moreover, the study identifies associations between demographic variables and morning sickness levels, shedding light on factors influencing this condition among pregnant women in rural areas.
