MOTION SICKNESS DISEASE (MSD)
Motion Sickness is a fairly common condition affecting travelers as it is typically experienced during travel by car, train, airplane or boat. There is very little we can do to treat this condition- here are a few tried and tested ideas.
- Taking Gravol (antiemetic) over the counter medication prior to the trip
- Gravol natural source ginger tablets & lozenges (to be taken at least 30 mins before departure)
- Avoiding to read
- Seating yourself in the front and by an open window
- Keeping your eyes looking straight ahead
- Chewing on ginger chews or sucking on peppermint candies
- Relaxation techniques
