The finding of a natural source for treatment of intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy has been running into many obstacles, many ingredients showed initially with promising result in animal studies have not produced same potentials in large sample size and mutli centers human trials.

Hyperemesis gravidarum of pregnancy is a medical condition with severe nausea, vomiting, weight loss, and electrolyte disturbance during pregnancy. The prevalence of hyperemesis gravidarum of 
pregnancy, may be associated to the presence of serum levels of neopterin, as a marker for immune system activation, inflammatory markers and oxidative stress(1)(2), particular Vitamin E, E equivalent, vitamin C, carotene and vitamin A levels(3).

Recent studies back by well known institutions proposed, Banana(7), Avocado(7) and Herbal Ginger Tea(4) may be the next generation of natural ingredients for prevention and treatment of hyperemesis gravidarum.

Ginger (Zingiber officinale) or ginger root is the genus Zingiber, belongings to the family Zingiberaceae, native to Tamil used in traditional and Chinese medicine to treat dyspepsia, gastroparesis, constipation, edema, difficult urination, colic, etc. According to the University of Copenhagen, powdered root of ginger in daily doses of 1 g during 4 day, scored an significantly geater relief of the symptoms hyperemesis gravidarum in comparison to placebo(4).
Dr. Sonkusare S. professor at the Melaka Manipal Medical College, said, "The management of the (hyperemesis gravidarum)condition involves symptomatic treatment along with antiemetic, pyridoxine and thiamine. Important role of alternative therapies like ginger and P6 acupoint stimulation in the treatment of hyperemesis has been identified"(5).
Truly, the search of Medline, Embase, The Cochrane Library, and other important databases up to September 2013 (Clinical Evidence reviews are updated periodically; please check our website for the most up-to-date version of this review) by Festin M, professor at the Philippine General Hospital, suggested, alternative medicine of ginger root may also be effective for reduced risk and treatment of hyperemesis gravidarum when used combination with acupressure; acupuncture; corticosteroids; metoclopramide; ondansetron; prochlorperazine; promethazine; and pyridoxine (vitamin B6)(6).

Pyridoxine, also known as vitamin B6 found abundantly in bananas, and avocados is also found to associate to reduce risk and treatment of  Hyperemesis gravidarum(7).
According to the case of Naval Medical Center, in a double-blind, randomized, controlled trial in which women with nausea and vomiting of pregnancy, showed that the combination of pyridoxine and doxylamine relieved symptoms of nausea and emesis in pregnancy but lesser than those of ondansetron(8).

The effectiveness of Banana, Avocado and Herbal Ginger Tea may serve as cornerstones of pharmaceutical target for further studies in production of a potential medication for prevention and  treatment of hyperemesis gravidarum with little or no adverse effects.

Women who are at high risk of hyperemesis gravidarumdue to family history, previous pregnancy..... should drink at least one serving daily and women with hyperemesis gravidarumshould drink the smoothie as much as they can, depending to digestive toleration.
Life style and dietary patter change are recommended.
