Motion SicknessWhat you need to know:Travelling with a child prone to motion sickness - or travel sickness as most people call it - is hardly the best way to start a holiday. And it’s not much fun for the poor child either. But there are natural ways to beat it.Firstly, it’s only commonsense to steer clear of a high fat breakfast before you leave. The sufferer should have just dry toast and a cup of tea made with grated Ginger, without doubt the most effective anti-nausea herb. Make it by grating half an inch of peeled Ginger root into a mug, filling it with boiling water and leaving to stand for 10 mins. Strain it, add 1 tspn of pasteurised honey and sip slowly. For long journeys, take a flask with you. In the car - and it’s usually cars rather than other forms of transport which make children sick - give the child small pieces of crystallised Ginger every 15 minutes or Ginger capsules. And take Ginger biscuits with you in case the child gets hungry. This remarkable herb is just as good for early morning sickness during pregnancy and sickness after anaesthetics. You can also use the secrets of acupressure to reduce nausea by buying elastic wristbands with small studs on the relevant Acupuncture points or self-adhesive plasters which act in the same way. They’re easily available at pharmacies and health stores. |
