Going on a 12 hour car trip tomorrow,any tips to keep me from getting carsick??

Answer 1

Motion sickness is caused by a conflict between your inner ear sensing motion but your eyes not seeing motion. Things like reading books, where you're not looking at motion will cause you to get motion sickness. The best thing to do is simply look at the scenery around you as it goes by (sorry, but it's true). This will eliminate the conflict and will keep you well.

Answer 2

put 2 bandaide on your belly button in the shape of a cross or take some ginger tables

Answer 3

Unlike you, I luckily do not suffer from motion sickness.  However, go to your local pharmacy & get a natural travel sickness tablet.  It should be made on ginger & I have been told by family members it really works.  Also, it won't make you groggy or leave you feeling lethargic, so you will be okay when you arrive at your destination.  Last time I was on a boat tour, one of my friends got really sick & the tour guide gave her lemon wedges to suck on.  She said it was bitter but really worked.  She swears by this remedy now.  Hope i helped.

Answer 4

I travel a lot either by plane or car.  I also have a same problem to.  One hour before I travel I take a medicine call ' Dramamine', you can buy this in any drug store such as Osco, Walgreen or Target.  It only cost about 4 dollars it come with 8 tablets and one tablet last up to 24 hours.  They have drowsy and non drowsy.  I preferred non drowsy with my child.  I also try not to read anything when I travel and eat something lite  before going.  Hope this helps.

Answer 5

My advice would to not read while you are in the car it makes you even more sick. What I would suggest is to listen to some music to keep you busy. If you want to read in the car I would recomend you to take dramine medicine so you don't get motion sickness(carsickness is a type)!!! Have fun
