Motion sickness can cause vomiting, paleness, cold sweats, hyperventilation and headaches.

If you are susceptible to motion sickness, avoid eating heavy meals for at least two hours before travelling and then eat light, easily digestible foods, such as crackers, bread and canned fruit.

Also, don't read in the car or on a plane, train or boat when it's in motion.

When travelling by car sit in the front seat and keep the eyes focused on the horizon. This stable reference can help minimize the effect of changes in the inner ear, which controls the sense of balance and plays a role in motion sickness.

Ginger Root is an excellent remedy for the nausea of motion sickness.

Slippery Elm Tea is another herbal approach to relieving nausea.
