Travel Sickness

I always get travel-sick too esp' when flying or sitting as a back-seat passenger in a car. But I never feel sick when I am driving.

Some remedies for car journeys that help me are:

  • Sitting in the front passenger seat (if someone else is driving) as I noticed I always feel sick in the back! If sitting in the back seat, then I concentrate on a distant object e.g. a person 300 years away or a traffic light...basically I just look out of the window throughout the whole journey! Lol!
  • Don't read books ot text msg!
  • Eat ginger biscuits or chew tiny fresh ginger pieces!
  • Listen to music!
  • Wear acupressure wrist bands, which you can buy from the chemist section in Sainsburys.
  • Make sure you get a flow of fresh air.

When taking off on a plane, chew a sweet; gulp continously or pinch your nose and gently blow to open your ears.
