Place it behind your ear 30 to 60 minutes before travel. An antihistamine with dimenhydrinate can also work, but it may make you drowsy.

]]> 89846 2 0 Tip Fresh or powdered ginger root is a safe, natural alternative shown to prevent motion sickness.

]]> 89847 3 0 Step Don’t overeat Don’t eat a heavy meal before your trip or indulge in greasy, acidic, or spicy foods, which could exacerbate stomach queasiness. Smoking and drinking alcohol are also taboo.

]]> 89848 4 0 Step Use the air vent Point the air vent directly onto you and recline in your seat at the onset of airsickness. Rest your head against the seat back, keep your head still, and don’t make any sudden movements.

]]> 89849 5 0 Tip Focus on a stationary object and don’t read.

]]> 89850 6 0 Step Have crackers and a carbonated drink Have plain crackers and a clear, carbonated beverage to settle your stomach. Club soda is a good choice.

]]> 89851 7 0 Step Use the airsick bag If you start to feel sick but can’t reach the bathroom, use the airsick bag. Look for it in the seatback pocket after boarding or ask the flight attendant to provide a few before takeoff. Not all airlines put them in every seat. Discreetly emptying your stomach could relieve nausea and dizziness.

]]> 89852 8 0 Step Relax Relax. Anxiety and stress are known to make people more prone to airsickness and make existing symptoms worse. Calming your mind and thinking of your destination will make the flight much smoother.

]]> 89853 9 0 Fact Did you know? Women are more prone to airsickness than men, especially during pregnancy or menstruation.
