During her pregnancy, one preschool teacher found simple, natural ways to ease her morning sickness—without disrupting her busy classroom routine. Her go-to solution? Ginger and peppermint.
She would suck on a piece of raw ginger root or brew it into tea for quick nausea relief. Peppermint oil also became a lifesaver—whether diffused in her home or carried in her pocket. She humorously recalls sniffing the bottle “1000 times a day,” a small but effective ritual that kept her feeling grounded and able to care for her little students.
