Guest guest Posted February 18, 2008 Report Share Posted February 18, 2008 Hey ya'll, my brother and his kids came to visit last night. And when they were preparing to leave, my sister in law gave my 3 year old niece a little Dramamine for her car sickness (they live about 1.5 hours away from us). She said she throws up a lot from the bumps in the city driving.... I was just wondering - is there an alternative to using Dramamine ? Or is Dramamine not so bad to use on little kids ? anyone have any experience with this ? thanks ! have a great week, Deb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 19, 2008 Report Share Posted February 19, 2008 I don't really have an alternative except for the wrist bands they sell here in Southeast Alaska for sea sickness. They have a small plastic button on the inside which activates a pressure point and relieves motion sickness. Check your local pharmacy. I can definitely tell you that Dramamine is NOT good for a toddler...or anyone! Peace, Jenn http://www.TheOrganicFreedomMovement.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 19, 2008 Report Share Posted February 19, 2008 I have been helped tremendously from car sickness using ginger. A weak tea made with ginger & peppermint & sweetened with honey (depending on age), maple syrup, or stevia is delicious & can be sipped before & during the drive. I found that prevention is key.

Guest guest Posted February 20, 2008 Report Share Posted February 20, 2008 Did anyone mention ginger? Also now I am a believer in NAET treatments and acupuncture so maybe something alternative like these although NAET is allergy or emotional/physical relevant I hear too. Gosh, no drugs here endorsed. carolg , " jenn " <radiantorganics wrote: > > I don't really have an alternative except for the wrist bands they > sell here in Southeast Alaska for sea sickness. > > They have a small plastic button on the inside which activates a > pressure point and relieves motion sickness.

Guest guest Posted February 21, 2008 Report Share Posted February 21, 2008 There is a very effective and very safe homepathic spray for car sickness, nausea from the movement of a plane or cruise ship, also helps nausea with stomach flu. Perfectly safe to use for babies, pets, people of all ages. Alcohol and sugar free, please contact me offline. info Annette Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 24, 2008 Report Share Posted February 24, 2008 I'm 50 and used Dramamine growing up. I loved that it worked (taste back then was terrible) I gave it to my own kids. Don't know if there's a downside to it but, as I said, I'm 50! I, and my kids, seemed to grow past that carsick/motion sickness stage, but occasionally riding in a backseat or something will have it come back. Also - wearing a pair of sunglasses helped, just any glasses, something about the pressure, maybe on the nose area? Don't know but it helped.
