Effective Tips for Preventing Motion Sickness with Essential Oils

Motion sickness has the ability to quickly take the joy out of any travelling experience. 

But there are a few suggestions that we have tried and tested that can help you get ahead of any nausea and unsettled feeling. 

Essential oils are the answer...

• Place a few drops on a tissue or handkerchief and inhale the smell frequently. 
• A peppermint roller (Mai Co. Mint & Rosemary Fragrance blend is our choice) rolled at the base of the nose, just above your lip. 
• Try the roller on your wrists for easy inhalation, temples and even at the back of your neck, and chin. 
• Peppermint lozenges or peppermint sweets...these can be such a life saver
• Apply the roller to the P6 pressure point and gently massage in a clockwise, then anticlockwise direction. (See 2 diagram - mskcc.org)

Other practical tips: 

• If travelling - sit near a window, and preferably in the front seat
• Limit sensory input - either close your eyes or keep them fixed on a point. Lying down may also help.
• Stay hydrated

Travelling can be such fun and opens the doors to so many memory-making experiences. So don't let anything hold you back from the opportunity to place those memories in the albums of your life. 

Hope these tips help you as much as they help me...
