Default Anything new in to combat motion sickness?

Greetings,

I typically suffer from motion sickness early in the season and sometimes
on longer flights if the thermals are rough.

I have one of the electronic wrist devices. It's of some benefit, but
it's not an instant cure, at least for me.

Just curious if there are any new meds or other solutions that might be in
the works??

I, too, have suffered early in the season. I have one of the wrist devices,
not sure whether the benefit is based on placebo or not. I have heard that
eating ginger snaps or raw ginger helps somewhat. Here's a detailed link:

Then again, puking for the first 3-4 flights helps get rid of the pounds
gained during the course of the winter.
