Chew fennel seeds (saunf) or sip fennel water. ---- Avoid Fried, spicy, oily, and very sour foods. Long gaps between meals. Strong smells and odors. — Rx 1) Avipattikar Churna – 2 g twice daily after meals with lukewarm water. 2) Fennel Water – sip throughout the day. 3) Soaked Raisins – 10–15 overnight-soaked raisins in the morning. ---- Lifestyle Adequate rest.

••Congratulations on reaching 13 weeks! Entering the second trimester is a wonderful milestone, but dealing with a combination of nausea, vomiting, acidity, and gut issues can be incredibly exhausting. ​1. Managing Nausea, Vomiting & Acidity (Chardi & Amlapitta) ​At 13 weeks, the goal is to pacify Pitta with gentle, cooling, and easily digestible elements. ••​Laja Dhanya (Puffed Rice Water): This is a classic Ayurvedic remedy for pregnancy nausea. Soak a handful of organic puffed rice (Laja) in water for 15–20 minutes, strain it, and sip the water throughout the day. It settles the stomach instantly. ••​Ginger & Lemon Infusion: If you can tolerate the smell, small sips of warm water infused with a very thin slice of fresh ginger and a few drops of lemon can stimulate proper digestive enzymes without overheating. ••​Mishri and Saunf: Chew on a few fennel seeds (Saunf) with rock candy (Mishri) after meals. Fennel is excellent for cooling the stomach and reducing the urge to vomit. ••​Hydrotherapy trick: Washing your face and eyes with cool water, or holding a cool, damp cloth to your forehead can instantly pacify acute nausea. ​2. Relieving Constipation & Gas (Vibandha & Anaha) ​Because Apana Vata is altered during pregnancy, the downward movement of waste slows down. We need to soften the tract without using strong laxatives, which are strictly avoided in pregnancy. ••​Soaked Raisins and Figs: Soak 5–6 black raisins (Draksha) and 1 dry fig (Anjeer) in water overnight. Eat them first thing in the morning and drink the water. Raisins are natural, mild laxatives and are highly nutritious for the baby. ••​Warm Milk with Ghee: Drinking a cup of warm milk with half a teaspoon of pure cow’s ghee at bedtime acts as a gentle lubricant for the intestines and helps clear the bowels the next morning. ••​Jeera-Dhania Water: Boil half a teaspoon of cumin seeds (Jeera) and coriander seeds (Dhania) in water. Cool it to room temperature and sip it during the day. This helps dispel trapped gas and reduces bloating without aggravating acidity. ​3. Dietary Guidelines for the 13th Week ​Eat Small, Frequent Meals: Do not let your stomach sit completely empty, as empty space (Akasha) increases Vata and causes more gas and nausea. Eat every 2 hours in very small quantities. ••​Dry Snacking: Keep a few dry crackers, roasted foxnuts (Makhana), or plain toast by your bedside. Eat a bite before you even lift your head off the pillow in the morning. ••​Avoid: Deep-fried foods, heavily spiced curries, fermented foods (like idli, dosa, or curd at night), and caffeinated drinks, as these intensely aggravate both Pitta and Vata.
