Hi, its Gabbi again,
Because I'm the queen of quease...
I wanted to let you know that if you feel sick from your medication taken on an empty stomach, fennel oil would be better than pepperment for taking internally.
The peppermint if not taken in capsule form (which is a rip off price wise) can promote excess acidity which, in the morning may be what is causing the problem in the first place. Sometimes just sniffing the pepperment will help.
Fennel can be pretty pungent though. If you don't like it at first you will never get used to it.I'm not a pushing the essential oils,but did want to share what worked for me. The constant nausea,put such a damper on how I felt but so many common drugstore remedies like Pepto Bismol block the absorption of the medication.
"REAL' Ginger ale works also, Reeds or Jamaican Ginger beer.
Also for your "inner child" gripe water works too...
