If not properly managed, this condition may result in reduced nutritional intake and decreased discomfort for the mother. One nonpharmacological approach that may be used is the administration of ginger and mint leaf infusion, which are known to have natural antiemetic effects that may help reduce symptoms of nausea and vomiting in pregnant women. A preliminary survey conducted by the research at the Central Tapanuli Regency Health Office showed that 703 pregnant women experienced emesis gravidarum in 2024, increasing to 722 in 2025. In 2025, there were 34 cases of emesis gravidarum among pregnant women in Sibuluan Nauli Urban Village, Pandan Subdistrict, Central Tapanuli. Objective: This study aimed to describe the application of ginger and mint leaf infusion in managing emesis gravidarum in first-trimester pregnant women in Sibuluan Nauli Village, Pandan District. Research Method: This study employed a descriptive qualitative case study design involving two respondents experiencing emesis gravidarum. Results: The administration of ginger and mint leaf infusion was found to be effective in managing emesis gravidarum among first-trimester pregnant women, with participant one and participant two showing nausea and vomiting with a PUQE score of 12 (moderate) before the intervention, no appetite, a sour taste in the mouth, and frequent swallowing. After a 7-day intervention, the PUQE score decreased to 6 (mild), with a decrease in lack of appetite, a decrease in the sour taste in the mouth, and less frequent swallowing. The study results indicate that the 7-day intervention with ginger and mint leaf infusion led to a reduction in the frequency and intensity of nausea and vomiting in both respondents. This shows that ginger and mint leaf infusion is effective as a non-pharmacological therapy in helping to manage emesis gravidarum in first-trimester pregnant women. Conclusion: The study concludes that the administration of ginger and mint infusion can be a safe, simple, and effective alternative intervention in reducing the symptoms of emesis gravidarum.
