Natural remedies for motion sickness

Swallow some ginger capsules an hour prior to beginning the journey. You can also drink either chamomile tea or peppermint tea.
Keep some peppermint chocolates or capsules with you and have them when you start feeling sick.
Eat something light before commencing the journey but do not overeat as an empty or full stomach may cause sickness.
Do not get nervous thinking about it and avoid closing your eyes during the journey. Choose a front seat while traveling in a bus as backseats and the seats which are above the wheels cause and/or aggravate the problem. While driving in a car, do the same. Some people feel sicker when they touch the back rest while some feel better that way. Check which position provides you with relief and continue doing so.
Wear motion sickness wrist band which work according to acupressure to control the nauseating feeling and are available at drug stores or health food stores.
Cover your nose to keep away from such odors like the fumes coming from the engine, body odor or any other kind of strong smell.
Suck on a lemon, a peeled piece of ginger root or a couple of olives during your journey. You can have 1 tsp of ginger juice or lemon juice before starting the journey.
