Motion Memos

In reading your article titled “Minding Motion Sickness” (May 8), by Kathleen Doheny, I was surprised that ginger was not mentioned. A time-honored and highly effective remedy (recognized for centuries in Asia), it is a natural preventive as well as providing relief for nausea, food poisoning and morning sickness.

Three years ago, we found the solution to seasickness: “Sea Bands.” They are wristlets that use acupressure to stop motion sickness. My husband suffers from motion sickness, so going for a boat ride was out of the question. He couldn’t read on an airplane. The “Sea Bands” have made travel and reading possible.

I have a cure for motion sickness that really sounds silly, but it works. Years ago, I was sailing from Acapulco and I was sick before we even got out of the harbor. A young man told me to lie on my stomach. It worked. As long as I laid on my stomach I was OK. As soon as I raised up I was sick again. I have tested this many times and I have told others as they were beginning to get sick. They tried it and it worked.
