Weirdest "remedies" that have worked?

Question

When I got pregnant, a friend told me to keep a bag of Jolly Ranchers with me at all times to combat nausea/morning sickness. When I finally started getting woozy (roughly 5 weeks) I bought a small bag. I'll be damned - they work! This morning I was about 15 seconds from losing breakfast, I popped a Jolly Rancher, and BOOM - nausea abated. They've worked every time. 
​
​What odd little things have people recommended to you (or you've discovered yourself) that help these first trimester battles? Share!!

Answer

Lemon candies....especially Lemon Head hard candies. Just enough sweet/sour to make the nausea fade. :)

Answer

I eat a slice of cheddar cheese and that seems to help a lot!

Answer

Bookmarking this thread! Ha ha ?

Answer

York peppermint patties!!! Works pretty well!

Answer

I used jolly ranchers too! I initially used ginger candies which really work well but I got so sick of them. Ginger ale, 7up, saltines also seemed to work for me.

Answer

I suck on ice! Idk why or how but it helps with nausea at time! I've stocked up on Jolly Ranchers and Lemon Heads! Also drinking some orange juice helps, I put ice in it- I think it's because minute maid OJ is sour. Idk lol but it works!

Answer

I use wintergreen mints!! And with my last pregnancy I would cut a lemon in half or fourths and smell it!! It helped so much :)

Answer

Jolly ranchers do work I use them but I always wonder it can't be good for our teeth to suck on jolly ranchers all day. I alternate between jolly ranchers and sunflower seeds lol

Answer

My acupuncturist told me that eating a tangerine peel (yes, the peel) a day would help combat morning. She also suggested boiling it in hot water and sipping it like a tea. I haven't tried it yet but the nausea seems to be lasting all day for me and I'm only 6 weeks so I think I'll give it a try!
