Use the seat that creates least motion:
Many of us prefer back seats on long road trips. Initially sitting in the back seat would be good but after sometime because of our body moving up and down and side to side, motion sickness is triggered in us. So try to avoid back seats if you are prone to motion sickness issue.
Always have ginger and peppermint:
It is known that nausea and vomiting are the two main symptoms associated with motion sickness issue. So intake of ginger would be effective for nausea. Likewise intake of peppermint would be superb for vomiting. Hence it is essential to carry both ginger and peppermint while going on a road trip.
Getting fresh air:
Most of us go for long road trips in air conditioned cars with closed windows. This could be suffocating and could result in nausea. In such cases the windows must be opened for sometime so that fresh air is got and this could help us to fight motion sickness.
Give rest to eyes:
This is important because most of us have the habit of reading books or engaging with our mobile phones etc during the road trips. This could create eye strain plus it could result in motion sickness. So giving rest for the eyes is essential.
