How to prevent motion sickness – naturally

Did you know that half a teaspoon of powdered ginger is more effective than chemical medication to fight motion or seasickness? And unlike many medication, do not sleep. Ginger is used in the East for centuries to prevent seasickness. The researchers asked test subjects, particularly sensitive to motion sickness to sit in a chair with folding back, which turned at high speed. All subjects that are well known within the medication or who took placebo showed violent nausea and / or vomiting.

On the other hand, six of the twelve subjects who took ginger twenty minutes before the test is not suffering from any discomfort. Consumed only 840 milligrams of ginger powder, which is equivalent to half a teaspoon.

The Japanese have a very interesting way of treating all types of motion sickness. Using the patch to fix "Umeboshi" (salted fermented plums, available in most health food stores in the West) to their navel. The idea may sound a bit "weird, but what you do not lose!
