Hello,
Thank you for reaching out to Dr. Galen. Please find the below response to your query.
There is a wide range of natural techniques to relieve symptoms of pregnancy, such as massage and patterned breathing, oral supplements, and herbs. Some of these treatments are safe and can be helpful, while others could potentially harm you and your baby. It is important to always seek approval from your doctor before trying any alternative therapies.
