Motion sickness can be alleviated naturally by stabilizing the inner ear and calming the stomach, with ginger, backed by clinical trials, reducing nausea within 30 minutes by modulating serotonin receptors. Peppermint soothes digestive upset, while focusing on a fixed point, a method supported by research, helps recalibrate balance signals. Eating light, bland snacks like crackers prevents stomach irritation, and fresh air reduces sensory overload. These evidence-based remedies provide fast relief by addressing the root causes of motion sickness, often outperforming medications without side effects.
