Mythbusters took on the ginger contraversy not too long ago. It was not a big enough sample, or random enough to be a "scientific" study, but three of them did get motion sickness, Adam in particular suffers from this a lot. They tried various remedies. The only ones they found that worked were pharmaceutical, and ginger. Adam said he would use ginger always after this because he found it worked just as well as the pharma, but without the side effects that made him feel dopey.

I get motion sick fairly often. I've bought organic ginger in capsules & take 2-4 before i have to take a trip i know will likely cause problems. It works very well for me. I also have the candied ginger, but don't use it often.

Although not the nutritionally correct solution, I find that ginger Altoids soothe any and all digestive upsets - even just being too full. I hand more out than I take myself.

When we were nauseated as youngster our grandmother always gave us ginger ale, mainly because my mother would not let her give us straight ginger. We usually used Canada Dry ginger ale because it had actual ginger in it.

Someone please tell me how to smuggle ginger onto a plane. It's probably easier to smuggle a sharp object that could hurt someone...ginger is probably right up there w/breast milk.

Sucking on a lemon does the same thing, but the vitamin C is better for you. This also works for morning sickness.
