So, here are 10 things that have been shown to relieve the misery:
- Brew fresh ginger root in a cup of tea, pick up some ginger ale or take a 300 mg capsule.
- Eat a diet high in protein and complex carbohydrates.

- Stick with cold foods—hot foods have a stronger smell, which can trigger queasiness.
- Stash a few Preggie Pops in your bag for on-the-go, all-natural relief.

- Eat brown rice
- Try acupuncture.
- Get light exercise.
