Motion Sickness was a constant battle for me as a child. Being the youngest in a family of six, I was always packed in the back seat and always vomited out the window on any car trip. My father was certain it was all in my head and on one trip he insisted they make a bed on the floor for me. I didn’t make it to the window in time. That was a disaster. When I got older I was mainly nauseated when reading in a plane or on a boat. When working on our boat as a real estate agent I found it difficult to use the computer without wearing wrist bands for motion sickness. These bands are like half a marble with a pressure point on your wrist and are very effective at reducing nausea of any kind. Other excellent choices are the Nux Vomica as a Homepathic Remedy, Ginger as tea, raw ginger candy or gingerbread cookies to munch before encountering the motion. In a car, you can try reclining in your seat with a pillow pressed behind your head and neck. Dramamine causes deep sleep for me. I once used it for a train ride and could see my brother’-in-law at the station trying to find me but I couldn’t wake up enough to get his attention. I’ll stick to the natural remedies any day!
