Many of us are familiar with the unpleasant symptoms of motion sickness, but these can be alleviated with some simple herbal remedies.

Any travel - car, plane, boat, train or coach - can trigger sensations of dizziness, fatigue and nausea. In severe cases, repeated vomiting may occur. Children are especially prone to being sick on long journeys, but susceptibility usually decreases with age and increased experience of travel.

By taking natural preventative measures, such as herbal preparations or using acupressure techniques, motion sickness can be reduced to make traveling more pleasurable.
