Helping Nausea : Peppermint vs. Ginger

Morning sickness: ginger vs peppermint 
I have a lot of people ask me about treating that stubborn nausea in early pregnancy.

Morning sickness (while it rarely hits just in the morning) can often be difficult to tackle and cause a lot of unpleasantness. Many of us think ginger as the key ingredient for relief, but for some it can make it worse! 😦

I find that we are often split into two types when it comes to morning sickness: ginger-y that crave fruit like oranges, or peppermint-y that crave saltines.

Sometimes it takes a bit of investigating as to which tastes and craving help the nausea, but figuring out which direction to go in can help ease the tummy aches. I also really do believe that morning sickness is our body’s design to get us to slow back when we are in those early and vital stages of baby making. It is hard for many of us to do, but so important to remember.
