Motion Sickness Remedies
Many people love to travel. You say, “Let’s go to . . . “ and their bags are packed before you finish the sentence. Some of us are not so eager. You start talking about a trip, we get clammy just thinking of the car/plane/train ride. Motion sickness isn’t funny or fun, but there are ways we can combat that awful feeling and enjoy the journey as well as the destination. In addition to ReliefBand, there’s a prescription patch (scopolamine) that works well for many, but it can’t be used on kids. For children, Dramamine or Benadryl may help. Ginger or peppermint can reduce the symptoms of nausea, and keeping your face pointed toward fresh air is beneficial. Nothing works 100 percent of the time for everyone. But, with ReliefBand and the other products and suggestions mentioned here, you have a good chance of finding something that works. Don’t let motion sickness keep you at home. Get out there and enjoy the world! Image courtesy of flickr/swong95765

Ski Sickness? You Bet!
Did you know that some downhill skiers report experiencing motion sickness? Yup. It’s called, appropriately, ski sickness. It seems to be more common on days when visibility is limited, such as in foggy or near whiteout conditions. Wearing ski boots and skis changes the way our bodies relate to or feel the ground, which also contributes to the problem. A lot of little things need to come together to create ski sickness – it’s not a common event. Chances are you won’t be afflicted with this type of motion sickness, but perhaps it’s best to take your ReliefBand with you to the mountains, just in case. Click here for more info on ski sickness.

Motion Sickness Is Not Fun
Motion sickness is the sweaty, clammy, dizzy, feeling you get when what you see doesn’t match up with what your inner ear is sensing. Those uncomfortable feelings are sometimes followed by nausea and vomiting. People prone to motion sickness do not like riding on boats or trains, or in planes or cars. And they don’t like amusement park rides. Pretty much anything that moves while they’re on it can be a problem. Some people who suffer from motion sickness even get queasy on an escalator. If you’re too familiar with these symptoms, you should wear a ReliefBand next time you venture forth. Bet you’ll be happy when your motion sickness is a no-show! Image courtesy of flickr/gvgoebel
