Default Anything new in to combat motion sickness?

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.


I heard the ginger thing, too. After getting motion sick the during the
first longer flights as passenger I tried this:

- Have some snacks with you to eat. Don't fly with empty or full
stomatch. Make also a good breakfast.
- Don't look the most times during thermaling in the center of the circle

I don't tried meds, because they usually setting down capacity of reaction.
