    Herbal and homeopathic remedies are an excellent natural alternative to help relieve all forms of motion sickness. Use herbs such as Zingiber officinalis (Ginger) and Mentha piperita (Mint) to provide digestive comfort. Homeopathic ingredients such as Kalium phosphate, Cocculus and Pulsatilla vulgaris act as a restorative and nerve tonic and helps to promote comfort while traveling.

    There are several things that can be done to prevent motion sickness and these include:

    -Seat yourself in an area where you will encounter the least amount of movement – sit over the wings of an airplane or near the middle of a boat
    -Look straight ahead of you to keep your eye and body sensations in sync with each other
    -Eat light meals such as dry toast or crackers before or during travel (helps settle the stomach)
    -Avoid eating large meals or greasy and carbonated foods before traveling
    -Avoid drinking alcoholic beverages and smoking before or while traveling
    -Sip beverages slowly while traveling
    -Apply cold compresses to the eyes and neck
    -Get as much fresh air as possible by keeping the car window open or going on the deck of a ship
    -Avoid sitting facing opposite the direction of movement
    -Get enough rest before going on your trip
    -Avoid reading while in motion

    Always be sure to obtain natural remedies from a reliable, trustworthy source to ensure safety and maximum effectiveness.
