When I was pregnant I wish they had made Callard & Bowser Ginger Altoids. These sweet little mints with a bite of natural ginger may have helped quell those bouts of morning sickness that occurred at all times of the day. They may also help with nausea caused by motion sickness. These spicy candies are also tasty, and anyone who likes the flavor of ginger will enjoy them.
What Are Callard & Bowser Ginger Altoids
Callard & Bowser Ginger Altoids are a strongly-flavored candy made to be “curiously strong,” similar to other Altoids products. The candies, like other Altoids products, have an intense flavor. The candies are about the size of an M&M;, but not not rounded on the edges.
Nausea Remedy for Pregnancy
The product is not being marketed or sold for nausea use, but they may be effective in that way. Anyone accustomed to chewing on candied ginger or fresh ginger to stave off nausea caused by pregnancy or other reasons, may find Callard &Bowser; Ginger Altoids to be a quick and convenient remedy.
When you have morning sickness, you will try a lot of natural remedies to make it stop. Although my doctor offered me morning sickness medication, I did not want to put anything unnatural in my body. They said it would be safe, but I did not want to add any prescription medications to my all-natural pregnancy. I eliminated caffeine and artificial sweeteners, so I was not prepared to take anything besides my prenatal vitamins.
Real ginger helped a tiny but, and these candies may have helped as well.
Taste
Callard & Bowser Ginger Altoids are strong. They may be too strong for some, especially if you are not fond of the taste of ginger. They are also sweet. If you have two or three, the strength of their power builds.
