Answer 1

have you tried gravol?  It should work, the only problem is it may also knock him out.  I take gravol when I can't sleep and it knocks me out.  Maybe try half of one.  It would definately be great if you ever need to take a long drive though, he'll sleep through the whole thing

Answer 2

Motion sickness medication has been taken by countless men, women and children in an attempt to eliminate the nausea that is associated with motion sickness. For many years, motion sickness medication was the only product available to help people with their feelings of nausea.

Motion sickness medication was prescribed whenever possible, however, because they are medications, motion sickness medication could only be prescribed to people able to handle the medications and not suffer side-effects just as bad as the nausea they were trying to prevent.

Many pregnant women and nursing women found themselves unable to take motion sickness medication, the same is true for other people who either had allergies to the medication or preferred not to take motion sickness medication because they preferred to use all-natural techniques to eliminate the feelings of nausea.  

An advancement in motion sickness medication came with the advent of motion sickness medication that was absorbed through the skin when wearing motion sickness medication patches. The absorption through the skin helped make the alleviation of nausea faster than the motion sickness medication that was taken orally.

Though this advancement in motion sickness medication made the relief of nausea come faster, it was still not instantaneous. Other issues that people had and still have with motion sickness medication through patches is the fact that it is still chemicals being used in the body, after all, they are still motion sickness medication, just the delivery has changed.

The motion sickness patches are uncomfortable for some people to wear and can be very uncomfortable to remove for some consumers. Consumers also have complained that it is difficult to conceal the motion sickness medication patches and when wearing certain clothing the patches were visible.

The reality for a number of years was that either people took motion sickness medication or tried to find all natural remedies (herbs, etc) or simply suffered through the feelings of nausea. Though some people are convinced that herbal remedies work, many more are convinced that they simply are ineffective so they were forced to either use motion sickness medication or nothing at all.

In recent years, the advancement of acupressure technology which is used to block the transmission of certain nerve impulses to the brain (to eliminate pain, nausea and other transmissions) has helped provide an alternative to motion sickness medication.

These technological advancements use pressure at the right location and at the right level to block transmissions of certain signals to the brain. In the case of using this technology in lieu of motion sickness medication, the acupressure technology is used to block the transmission of nausea before it is registered in the brain.

BioBands offers an adjustable wristband that can be used for people of all ages and sizes that alleviates the feeling of nausea upon proper application of the wristband. Because the wristband is adjustable it is comfortable to wear and consumers do not need to worry about trying to conceal the band.

Because BioBands’ adjustable wristbands do not use any motion sickness medication, consumers do not have to worry about drug interactions or side-effects. As a result of this, many consumers find the bands to be a safe and easy alternative to motion sickness medication.

Motion sickness pills can be purchased over the counter or through a prescription depending on the motion sickness pills being used. Doctors have prescribed or suggested motion sickness pills for many years, however, motion sickness pills do have drawbacks and concerns.

Motion sickness pills are not always effective and in some cases the side effects can be worse than the effects of the motion sickness. Pregnant and nursing mothers often do not take motion sickness pills because of their medical condition or to protect their child. Also, people taking certain other medications are unable to take motion sickness pills because of potential drug interactions.

Before taking any type of motion sickness pills it is important that you speak with your medical professional. Only your medical professional is able to give you the medical advice you need on whether or not it is safe for you to take motion sickness pills.  

Some consumers who take motion sickness pills find that the motion sickness pills are either ineffective or take too long to be effective and therefore try to find alternatives to motion sickness pills.

Since there are no cures to motion sickness, only ways to stop the nausea that is associated with motion sickness, many consumers are trying to find a fast and effective way to end the nausea that is associated with motion sickness, pregnancy, headaches, etc.

Motion sickness pills have been around for many years and an advancement in technology provided an alternative to motion sickness pills – the advancement was motion sickness patches.

motion sickness patches, unlike motion sickness pills are not taken orally, but rather the medication is absorbed into the body from the skin which makes them quicker in combating nausea as compared to many motion sickness pills.

Of course, even motion sickness patches take some time to be absorbed and to become effective. Also, like motion sickness pills, motion sickness patches have a certain lifespan and need to be replaced, just as you need to take multiple doses of motion sickness pills depending on how long you need the protection.

motion sickness patches, as opposed to motion sickness pills, are worn on the body and, therefore, some consumers express displeasure in having to prominently display the patches on their bodies, especially when wearing a bathing suit. The reality is it is difficult to conceal the patches completely.

Another concern people have with the patches, as opposed to motion sickness pills is the fact that the patches can sometimes be uncomfortable to wear and to remove. This discomfort can lead some consumers to not wear the patches at all and leave themselves feeling nauseous.

A second alternative to motion sickness pills that consumers have turned to in order to alleviate the feelings of nausea associated with motion sickness, pregnancy, headaches and so forth are acupressure wristbands. Acupressure wristbands, like the ones offered by BioBands, use pressure to disrupt the transmission of nausea before it is registered in the brain – nearly instant relief from nausea.

Adjustable wristbands do not include any medications, unlike motion sickness pills and patches, so there are no concerns with drug interactions. Further, the adjustable bands work nearly instantaneously unlike motion sickness pills, and are generally much less expensive than motion sickness pills.

Consumers are trying the wristbands to alleviate nausea associated with many things including motion sickness and as a result many are using the bands rather than taking any type of motion sickness pills.

Motion sickness wristbands are starting to be more widely used as consumers look towards motion sickness wristbands as a safer alternative to motion sickness medications and patches.

Motion sickness wristbands are fundamentally different from motion sickness medications and patches. This fundamental difference is in the delivery system for the motion sickness relief.

Motion sickness wristbands use acupressure technology to eliminate the feelings of nausea associated with motion sickness. This technology is based on the fact that if the right degree of pressure is applied to the right points of the body the transmission of nausea is blocked before it can be registered by the brain – thus eliminating the feelings of nausea before they start.

motion sickness medications and patches both use chemical reactions in the body (drugs) to help alleviate nausea associated with motion sickness. For many consumers, taking drugs of any kind is not an option, especially in recent years when many commonly used drugs have been proven to be dangerous and even lethal.  

Motion sickness wristbands are safe enough to be worn by anyone, no matter what other medications you are taken. Motion sickness wristbands not only alleviate the nausea associated with motion sickness, but also the nausea associated with morning sickness, chemotherapy, migraines and so forth.

Because motion sickness wristbands contain no chemicals or drugs of any kind, people using motion sickness wristbands have no fear of potentially dangerous side effects, nor do they have to fear the results when medications wear off and they forget to take another dose in time.

Motion sickness wristbands can be worn all day and will continue to protect you from feeling nauseous all day, so you never have to fear the protection will run out at the worst moment. Unlike patches, motion sickness wristbands do not have to be concealed and are very easy to remove without taking your skin and hair along with them.

Consumers find that the adjustable motion sickness wristbands are more comfortable and effective than the one-size-fits-all wristbands. In fact many consumers wonder how a motion sickness wristband can provide equal protection to someone built like a football player as it protects someone built like a ballerina.

Adjustable motion sickness wristbands are made so you need not have to worry if the wristband will be too loose or too tight, you will adjust it to fit your body and your needs so you know that the acupressure is correct and you are receiving the protection against nausea that you purchased the motion sickness wristbands for.

Many consumers are finding that motion sickness wristbands are more economical than the patches and medications that are on the market and therefore, not only are they g
