CD remedy for morning sickness

Listening to a CD might seem a strange way to combat the symptoms of morning sickness, but some members of the iVillage community have found that it works

It is estimated that between 50 to 80 per cent of pregnancies bring with them a sickness (known as NVP), which can start and end at any time of day or night – or not end at all. The route origins are still unclear and there are various theories, but NVP is mainly attributed to altered hormone function, physiological and metabolic changes and genetic incompatibility.

Our ears provide us with the ability to hear and the inner ear (vestibular system) is also responsible for our balance (our gyroscope). It is an acknowledged contributor in the process of being sick as a result of travel or motion sickness. In recent years it has been confirmed that the vestibular system is regarded as a significant organ involved in the process of being sick.

This is where a radical theory was put to the test. If the inner ear is a significant organ involved in the process of vomiting, could it be used to influence and combat the process using techniques that are part of its normal function? The benefits of such a product are that there is no drug involvement; it is effective from outside the body and does not conflict with any other form of treatment; it is portable and can be used without medical supervision.

A totally unique audio programme was developed over many years to do exactly this. Using sound tones, patterns and frequencies sent to the ears, it was identified that not only is the inner ear responsible for carrying the signals that play a part in the process of being sick, but it can also be used to affect or mask those signals. The end result for most women is that the symptoms are dramatically reduced to easily tolerable levels or they stop completely.
