Herbal Teas for Morning Sickness

This weekend's all day sickness really got to me. 
Daniel & I went to do grocery shopping yesterday and I just wanted to get inside the trolley and make him push me around. I just feel so horrible. 
Although I am just coming out of my first trimester surely it can't carry on for too much longer right?
But then I hear all these other stories of ladies saying that they have been sick for ages in pregnancy with the last I spoke to saying she was sick until 20 weeks!! Yikes!! There is no way I could make a brave face until 20 weeks! 

This morning I had a bit of a google around about herbal teas as I was a daily drinker before pregnancy of my herbal teas. Chamomile always settled me when I felt horrible on my girly days or just felt sick from the stomach issues I had going on. 
I read online from a herbalist/botanist/acupuncturist that Chamomile tea was fine and that was my sign of relief. I went straight down into the kitchen and put that kettle on. 
I felt so much better after and still feeling quite good 4 hours onwards. 

Here is some great tips on which herbal teas are good for you during pregnancy that I read on google by the herbalist:
Raspberry Leaf Tea - completely safe for pregnancy, it's believed to help promote effective uterine contractions at delivery.
Nettle Leaf - nutritive tea.
Lemon Balm - mild relaxed and anti-herpes tea.
Chamomile - mild calmative and digestive aid.
Peppermint - help relieve flatulence and intestinal cramps.
Fresh Ginger - help relieve nausea. (You need fresh ginger root tea - which is found in the produce section of most markets)

Have you had pregnancies where you have had back morning sickness and used a natural remedy to help those sick feelings?
