Support for severe pregnancy sickness 

Natural morning sickness remedies - from Mommypotamus

And THIS article explains that you need plenty of magnesium on board to manage pregnancy sickness. Dandelion and Nettle are very rich in Magnesium and are included in my Pregnancy Bliss tea. Dark green leafy vegetables are rich in Magnesium, and that is what Dandelion and Nettle really are - they grow as weeds in some places (I saw lots of Nettle in Ireland and my little Irish Midwife told me every woman needed nettle tea in her diet) and they both have a very dark green leaf. 

This article suggests Magnesium, B Vitamins and a healthy gut to prevent/reduce morning sickness:

So to have in your survival toolkit:

- Mum's Tum Tea

Here is Aviva Romm's article about safe herbs for pregnancy. Aviva's perspective is that although there are herbs considered safe for use in pregnancy, overall it is best to avoid medication and herbs during the first trimester, unless medically necessary.

To help really blitz that 'yuk' feeling, we now offer the Morning Sickness Care Kit - 200 ml Liver Bliss Tincture + 100g Mum's Tum Tea + 30 sachets of Morning Wellness. At $85.00 this is a fantastic deal for a bundle that hopefully, should really help!

    The Mum's Tum Tea absolutely saved my life in those awful stages in pregnancy where nothing will stay down. I added some honey to the key for an extra kick and I always knew once I had a cup that I would find some relief. Thank you Julie!
