Total of 60 antenatal mothers were selected and grouped into 30 in each for experimental and control respectively. The subjects were selected by using Non probability purposive sampling technique. The level of morning sickness was evaluated by using modified Rhodes index scale among antenatal mothers. The intervention was exercised i.e. Ginger tea 200ml once in a day for 5 days was administered to the subjects of experimental group. The reliability of the tool was determined by using split half method. The reliability coefficient “r” was more than 0.7, hence the tool was found to be reliable. Also, 30 eminent experts from all over India had validated the tool for its content. Data was analyzed using descriptive ie. Frequency and percentage distribution, inferential statistics ie. ‘t’ test, z test. Study results showed that, the ginger tea is effective on morning sickness and statistically there is significant difference in the experimental and control group. Hence study concludes that there is significant effect of ginger tea on morning sickness among antenatal mothers
