NOW HERE’S THE SCIENCE BEHIND THE INGREDIENTS
Raw Honey
This is nature’s sweetener; it’s packed with enzymes and has antibacterial properties, while also providing an anti-inflammatory boost.
Coconut Water
Coconut water is full of electrolytes your body needs – 5 of them to be exact: potassium, sodium, magnesium, phosphorous, and calcium – to prevent dehydration – a common side effect of vomiting.
Coconut Milk
Coconut milk is a creamy, dairy-free alternative that addition to the benefits above, adds some healthy fats to help keep blood sugar levels stable.
Lemon Juice
The refreshing scent and flavour of lemons have been shown in research to reduce nausea. Bitter and sour flavours help to simulate digestion which can get sluggish due to pregnancy hormones.

Raw Apple Cider Vinegar
Morning sickness (aka all-day sickness) occurs when the stomach acid becomes unbalanced. An organic apple cider vinegar has a neutralized pH and can rebalance the stomach and calm the stomach acids that cause nausea.
Natural Sea Salt or Himalayan Rock Salt
Natural salts contain lots of trace minerals along with sodium. Together they help to calm the nervous system and reduce adrenaline levels. The relaxation response has also been associated with decreased nausea.
Ginger
This root has long been used to treat nausea. I love adding ginger to this recipe as it adds a flavourful zing and promotes optimal digestion while calming the stomach.
Bye Bye Morning Sickness, Ease that Quenze!
I hope this lemonade helps you through those rough weeks of early pregnancy. Remember – it will get better! But you don’t have to just wait it out.

If it gets really severe…
For some women nausea in pregnancy becomes a serious health concern and they struggle to get enough nutrients into their body. Please do not suffer needlessly. If your symptoms are crippling or seem unusually severe, make sure that you are talking to your care provider – midwife or doctor – because there are some effective treatments. I always like to start with holistic things first and then up level if needed.
