Audery:

 

Use ginger for motion sickness of anykind.

It has helped me.

Sucheta, do you eat it, put it in a drink, take capsules?

 

Thanks,

i Audrey,

A sailor friend of mine swears by Marizine which is over-the-counter. I've heard

that keeping ginger ale on hand can help, and I've been told those wrist patches

with the bumps on them work, too. I think it depends on the person. To get lots

of good ideas, you might Google " Marizine " or " seasick remedies. "

Have a lovely, lovely trip!

I'm with Sucheta. Ginger is incredible for nausea. I have Meniere's and there

are many weeks that the only thing that helps is ginger tea and saltine

crackers. Kind of like constant morning sickness on a merry go round at warp

speed.

 

I've heard that there are ginger capsules now, but make sure that it contains

real ginger and not just flavoring; same thing with ginger tea. I do a

combination of diced candied ginger and diced ginger root steeped in hot (almost

boiling) water, with a little honey. Strain the solids out before serving either

hot or cold.

 

Often I'll make a strong infusion of ginger and candied ginger, pour into ice

cube trays and put the ginger ice cubes in ginger ale. It is also good in a

mixture of pineapple juice, cocoanut milk and fizzy water but no way could you

get that through Homeland Security, especially if you add a little rum for

medicinal value.

 

Phenergan is good for nausea and vomiting but you need a prescription for it and

it knocks most people out. Jeanne in GA

Thanks for the advice.

I have heard that pressure bands on the wrists help. Several years ago I

knew someone who used them for morning sickness she said they helped.

Need some ideas on how to avoid motion sickness, dizziness, nausea when I

get on an airplane next weekend to go see my sister. I'm so excited to get

to see her, but I just dread the flight for 24 hours beforehand because I

know I'm going to feel sick for almost 2 hours -- the 1-hour flight plus

about an hour to feel normal afterwards. Cars make me motion sick, too, but

at least I can usually get some fresh air by rolling down the window

-- planes are really bad... When I went for Thanksgiving, I took one of the

over-the-counter meclazine pills -- didn't do a darned thing. I've heard

ginger is supposed to be good to help with nausea -- does it work for

motion

sickness, and how do I take it? Any other ideas?
