Car Sick?

If someone in your car is prone to motion sickness – here's some relief...

If you’re headed on a long trip or drive – have some ginger handy. Ginger tea or chews can be as effective as over-the-counter remedies for motion sickness. Peppermint helps too. Here are some more suggestions if someone in your car starts to complain:

• Look off into the distance and focus on a steady point – it can really help.

• Keep your head as still as possible – sudden movements can make things worse.

• If the front seats are taken - the middle seat in the back of the car is best. The more you can see in front of you, the better.

Those motion sickness wristbands really help some people too. If you don’t have one handy, try applying pressure with your thumbs on the inner arm just above the wrist crease.
