Long drives are fun, for most of us, except for the ones who suffer from motion sickness. Even thought of a long drive can inspire a bout of nausea, jitters for those who get motion sickness. Thankfully, motion sickness can be treated, with a few simple, natural remedies. So if you plan on not running your plan due to motion sickness, ahead are some remedies.
Ginger
Ginger is one of the most effective and easily available natural ingredients, which fights back motion sickness. Ginger contains an active ingredient called 'gingerol' which is very effective in treating nausea, vomiting, and fatigue. It also comes packed with plenty of other essential vitamins, which replenishes your body.
You can have ginger in the form of candy, powder, dried capsules, sip on ginger infused tea or have it raw if you want.
Acupuncture
When you face an emergency, acupressure can provide great relief. For this, identify a raised or bumpy part just below your wrist and press your middle and index finger over it for up to 30 seconds. This remedy works like a charm and helps you get rid of any bout of sickness. In the ancient school of medicine, this point is referred to as the 'sixth point on the Pericardium pathway' which acts down on nausea.
Aromatherapy
It is always a great idea to carry your favorite scent or essential oils on a trip. Not only do they smell nice, but they also stimulate vital senses and keep you distracted from the motion. Hence, sniffing on them acts as an easy remedy in times of trouble. Good options to consider are fragrances like peppermint, lavender, cardamom, and even fennel.
