Travelers: Is your belly stirring up trouble on your trips?

The Bite
Leave the upset at home. You’ll be cruisin’ easy with our list of natural motion sickness cures that avoid synthetic antihistamines – so if your boat’s a rockin’, Captain Queasy won’t come a knockin’.

• Avoid loading up on a heavy meal before you set out on your trip.
• Pick the seat least affected by motion: up front in a car, over a wing on a plane, or midship on a boat.
• Avoid nausea triggers such as alcohol, cigarette smoke, and intense odors, as well as watching movies or reading while on the move.
• Get some air: crack a window, turn on a vent, or get out onto the boat’s deck.

The Benefits

• Waving bon voyage to an upset stomach.
• Cleaner waters ahead. During government tests, researchers routinely find antihistamines in our rivers.

Personally Speaking
My friend recently boarded a plane that smelled like vom, but luckily she had a fresh pack of mint gum that she buried her nose in until her senses acclimated to the yucky smell.
