I would also recommend peppermint: the oil (from health food store) can be sprinkled on a Kleenex and then kept it in your pocket or on your pillow where you are laying. The scent is VERY calming to the tummy and good for the head, you can also suck on a hard peppermint candy and peppermint tea. These are tricks used in the children's chemo wards to help them with nausea.
