Motion Sickness and Cures
Most people experience motion sickness occasionally at one time or another.

Here are the best solutions I know of to prevent motion sickness:
1. Eat light a couple of hours before you fly
2. Don't drink alcohol within 24 hours of flying

5. Chew gum
6. Eat Ginger
7. Chew Ginger Gum
