Outdoor Classroom: Some Tips to Prevent Motion Sickness While Traveling

1. Orange peel

About 1 hour before riding, fold the fresh orange peel inward with the surface facing outwards, then put your two fingers into your nostrils and squeeze it. Aromatic oil mist will be sprayed out of the peel. It can be inhaled more than 10 times, and you can do the same at any time while riding in a car.

2. Fresh ginger

While driving, hold fresh ginger slices in your hand and place them under your nostrils to smell them at any time to inhale the spicy smell into your nose. You can also stick ginger slices on your navel and secure it with a pain-relieving plaster.

3. Fengyoujing

While riding in a car, apply wind oil essence on the temples or Fengchi acupoint. You can also drop two drops of Fengyoujing on the belly button and cover it with an analgesic ointment.

4. Vinegar

Drink a glass of warm water with vinegar before riding a car, and you will not get motion sickness on the way.

5. Pain-relieving ointment

Before getting on the bus, apply an analgesic plaster to your belly button to prevent motion sickness.

6. Metoclopramide
