When smells are setting you off, a fresh, familiar scent of your own can help. This little inhaler stick from Yorkshire brand Myrtle & Maude holds a herbalist-made blend of ginger, spearmint and grapefruit essential oils.
Pop the cap, hold it gently to one nostril while closing the other and breathe in, then swap sides. It's discreet enough to use on the bus or at your desk. The brand suggests using it no more than three times an hour.
It's vegan, made in the UK, and free from synthetic fragrance and preservatives. Spearmint is used rather than peppermint, which some people find gentler in pregnancy.
