Guest guest Posted June 2, 1999 Report Share Posted June 2, 1999 June 1, 1999 - MOTION SICKNESS Hello List members: I have been told this by several people. If you're prone to motion sickness, try taking ginger (Zingiber officinale) before you set out on your next trip. Although it's not clear precisely how it works, both laboratory and clinical studies have found that ginger can help alleviate motion sickness. And it's not just a case of 'mind over matter' either, since ginger has even been shown in animal studies to guard against the effects of motion-induced nausea. To prevent motion sickness, you should take between 500 mg and 2,000 mg of the powdered root of ginger. For best results, you should start taking it several hours before your journey. So for all those boat trips, train trips, airplane rides that might come in handy (smiles) Trish TrishK@... Please take the time to visit my web site.
