Emesis gravidarum, characterized by nausea and vomiting, commonly occurs in first-trimester pregnant women and may affect maternal comfort and nutritional status. This study employed a Randomized Controlled Trial (RCT) design with 60 participants at Puskesmas Perawatan Pagatan, divided into an intervention group receiving ginger drinks (n=30) and a control group without herbal intervention (n=30), with PUQE scores and daily vomiting frequency measured over seven days. The results demonstrated a significant decrease in PUQE scores in the intervention group from 9.2 ± 1.1 to 4.3 ± 1.4, while the control group decreased from 9.1 ± 1.0 to 8.2 ± 1.3 (p<0.001). Daily vomiting frequency declined from 3.1 ± 0.9 to 1.2 ± 0.8 in the intervention group, compared to 3.0 ± 0.8 to 2.4 ± 1.0 in the control group (p<0.001). No serious side effects were observed, and adherence to ginger consumption was high. In conclusion, ginger drinks effectively reduce emesis gravidarum symptoms, provide additional psychological benefits, are safe, affordable, and can be integrated into primary care management.
