I am a doctor from Georgia (former part of former Soviet Union). It
is very interesting to learn that low diastolic blood pressure is
associated with small babies and high perinatal mortality. Our doctors are
notorious for treating everything, even the things which do not need
treatment at all, but sometimes our experience and knowledge can benefit
others(I know few examples from Gastroenterology). We treat low blood
pressure in pregnancy with ginger. Do you use ginger with the same purpose
(I know that you use it for nausea and vomiting in pregnancy.
Interestingly enough, we do not do this)? And if you do not use ginger for
low blood pressure, can you try it?
