I've found that ginger Altoids are wonderful for nausea. If I start feeling sick to my stomach from a migraine, I pop a couple of ginger Altoids in my mouth and suck on them for a bit of relief. Ginger is supposed to be good for nausea, and I guess the makers of Altoids actually put enough of it in there to do some good!

These also work great for a safe morning sickness remedy.
Peppermint also works great; I craved it when I was pregnant, seemed to relieve all my nausea. Then, later, my dr. recommended it to me as a cure for nausea and I told her I was already taking some.
I found you from WFMW! I am having TERRIBLE nausea with my third pregnancy right now. I will definitely try these. Thanks for the tip!!
Good to know that peppermint is good for nausea, too! I can't eat the peppermint during a migraine because it's just too strong (taste and smell), but it would be good for carsickness!
Also, for those of you with morning sickness, the peppermint Altoids would be a million times easier to find. I'm almost out of my ginger ones, and I'm having a hard time finding more. :-( I may have to order online.
I have never seen ginger Altoids. I will have to look for them, I suffer from terrible headaches. My 10 year old gets stomach aches at night, usually 3+ times a week, I bet these would help her too! Thanks for this tip!
