Drug-Free Tips for Relieving Motion Sickness, Just in Time for Spring Break!
You’ve got the maps, the tunes, the road trip munchies and you’re all set for Spring Break. But even the most well planned getaway can quickly turn into a “get-me-out” for anyone who has ever suffered from motion sickness. Whether by car, boat, train or plane, an exciting vacation can quickly turn sour unless you are prepared for the nausea that often accompanies travel.
Motion sickness strikes when the body, the inner ear, and the eyes send conflicting signals to the brain. This often occurs when the body is subjected to accelerations of movement in different directions or under conditions where visual contact with the actual outside horizon is lost. About 90 percent of people suffer from motion sickness at some point in their lives. From 1/3 to 1/2 of airline passengers will experience some degree of motion sickness when encountering heavy turbulence, and almost 100% of boat passengers become motion sick in rough seas.
In addition to wearing your Psi Bands, there are other things you can do to ward off the queasies:
If you’re susceptible to motion sickness:
• Sit where there’s the least motion:
• in cars, drive or sit in the front passenger’s seat;
• on ships, reserve a cabin in the front or middle of the ship, or on the upper deck;
• by plane, ask for a seat over the wing; and
• by train, take a seat near the front and next to a window. Face forward.
• Focus on the horizon or on a distant, stationary object. Don’t read.
• Keep your head still, while resting against a seat back.
• Don’t smoke or sit near smokers.
• Avoid spicy and greasy foods and alcohol. Don’t overeat.
• Eat dry crackers or drink a carbonated beverage to help settle your stomach.
• Get fresh air. Crack a window, go on deck, open an air vent.
Any other tips that have worked for you?

As someone who has to do chemo, I would LOVE to have one of these. Keeping my fingers (and toes) crossed…
have used other brands of “bands” to help with sleeping and migraines – would love a set of these as they are much more stylish than the cotton ones I have !!!!
