Pomegranate Anti-Nausea Birth Ginger Honey Lozenges

Hello momma,

When you’re preparing for birth or settling into your postpartum cocoon, little comforts can make all the difference — especially when nausea, heartburn, or morning sickness sneak up on you.


These Pomegranate Anti-Nausea Birth Ginger Honey Lozenges are my nourishing twist on the classic Kitrusy Honey-Ginger Chews recipe. They combine the warming, digestion-soothing power of fresh ginger and honey with the tart, antioxidant-rich flavor of pomegranate juice.

The result is a sweet-spicy, gently tangy lozenge that supports queasy tummies during pregnancy, birth, or postpartum recovery — or anytime you need a bit of grounding and warmth.

💗 Ingredients

• 3–4 tablespoons freshly grated ginger

1 cup water

1 cup pomegranate juice

• ¾ cup raw cane sugar (or evaporated cane juice)

• ¼ cup honey

• Cornstarch or tapioca starch, for dusting

🍬 Instructions

1. In a small saucepan, combine grated ginger, water, and pomegranate juice. Bring to a gentle boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook until the liquid reduces to about 1 cup.

2. Strain out the ginger and return the liquid to the pan.

3. Add the sugar and honey, stirring until dissolved. Continue cooking until the syrup reaches 260–265°F (hard-ball stage).

4. Pour onto a parchment-lined tray and let cool until firm but still pliable.

5. Dust with starch, cut into small squares, or roll into lozenges.

6. Store in a jar or tin at room temperature for up to 6 weeks (or refrigerate for longer shelf life).

🍇 Why I Love These for Birth & Postpartum

These lozenges are simple, soothing, and made from pantry staples — perfect to tuck into your hospital bag, labor snacks, or postpartum care basket.

The ginger helps calm nausea and support digestion, while the pomegranate brings antioxidants, gentle sweetness, and a touch of color. They’re lovely to suck on between contractions, during long car rides to appointments, or as a natural way to ease queasiness while healing postpartum.

They’re one of those small, homemade comforts that make a big difference.
