Do you or your children get car sick? Here are some tips to help prevent car sickness naturally.

1

Try fresh air. Simply rolling down a window can chase away most feelings of sickness.

2

Focus on a distant point outside the car. Having your head down can cause some people to feel nauseated.

3

Different foods can help, try Ginger Snap cookies. Eat a couple before you start the trip and then periodically during the trip. Fresh water and saltine crackers, peppermint candy, ginger ale, plain cake donuts or ginger root capsules.

4

Children in the back seat of the car are more susceptible when their height limits their view to seemingly stationary objects in the car. If possible elevate the car seat, so your child can see out.

5

A cool face cloth. The minute someone feels bad, hand them a peppermint and have them place the cool face cloth on their forehead. Travel with a small cooler with ice in it.

6

Keep plenty of lollipops on hand. You can even get special motion sickness ones called Queasy Pops.

7

Try sitting in the front seat of a car.
