Dr. Rishi Mehta, Naturopathic Doctor, Toronto, ON

Naturopathic medicine is a comprehensive and holistic approach to healthcare that combines modern scientific knowledge with traditional and natural forms of medicine. It is based on the philosophy of stimulating the body's inherent healing abilities and addressing the root cause of disease rather than merely treating symptoms. In naturopathy, symptoms of disease are viewed as signals of underlying imbalances or dysfunctions in the body, often caused by unfavorable lifestyle habits. Naturopathic practitioners aim to identify and address these underlying causes to support the body's healing process. They take into account various factors that contribute to an individual's health, including physiological, structural, psychological, social, spiritual, environmental, and lifestyle factors. Treatment in naturopathy is individualized and tailored to each patient's specific needs. In addition to promoting dietary and lifestyle changes, naturopathic treatments may include natural therapies such as botanical medicine (the use of medicinal plants and herbs), clinical nutrition (customized dietary plans and nutritional supplementation), hydrotherapy (the therapeutic use of water), homeopathy (a system of medicine that uses highly diluted substances to stimulate the body's self-healing mechanisms), naturopathic manipulation (manual techniques to address structural imbalances), and traditional Chinese medicine/acupuncture. Naturopathic medicine aims to provide a comprehensive and integrative approach to healthcare, addressing the whole person rather than focusing solely on symptoms or specific diseases. By combining the best of modern medical science and traditional healing practices, naturopathic medicine seeks to support and optimize the body's natural healing processes to achieve optimal health and well-being.

One of the most common conditions women experience during their first trimester of their pregnancy is nausea and vomiting and although it is quite normal, it can cause women a lot of stress and fatigue as well as a loss of a lot of nutrients and fluids.

The cause isn’t fully understood. However, it’s mainly due to the increase – the exponential increase of hormones experienced during this time, mainly HCG, estrogen, and progesterone. These hormones have effects on all other cells in the body as well which can cause some of these gastrointestinal symptoms women feel.

Although nausea can be very frustrating and tiring for women, there are a lot of treatment options to help. Simple things like changing your diet and your lifestyle can make a huge impact, like having regular exercise or ensuring that there’s always food in your stomach. Having an empty stomach can actually make the nauseating symptoms much more severe. So keeping a snack in your purse or in your car will help alleviate some of these symptoms.

Dehydration is common in women with increased nausea and vomiting so it’s really important to find ways to replenish fluid in the body. If you’re not able to keep water down or have trouble taking in water, intravenous vitamin therapy is a great alternative.

With this treatment, your naturopathic doctor can also infuse vitamins directly into your blood stream. Vitamins such as B6 and B12 will help decrease the nauseous feeling as well as increase energy throughout your pregnancy. Again, it depends on the patient. And we often will design very specific treatment plans in terms of supplements and dietary change to help with these symptoms.  Lab tests, of course, play a big role in diagnosing digestive issues. So, we would look at systemic levels of inflammation. We can also measure hydrogen and methane on the breath to determine if there are any microorganisms contributing to these symptoms.  If you’re experiencing digestive issues of any kind and you’d like to learn more about what’s causing these symptoms, see your local naturopathic doctor.
