Other Therapy

Ginger may be used to control nausea and vomiting. Studies have shown it to be effective after surgery and for motion sickness. Ginger comes in gelatin capsules containing 500 mg of powdered herb. You may also brew ginger tea or suck on candied or crystallized ginger, which may be available in Asian food stores. To prevent motion sickness, the suggested dose is 2 capsules 30 minutes before departure and 1-2 more as symptoms being to occur, about every 4 hours.

Serious interactions with prescription and nonprescription medications are always a possibility.
