BACK TO ASK THE HERBALIST INDEX

ANSWERS FROM KAREN:
QUESTION: I am taking a trip via plane on Friday and I tend to get really motion sick.
I do not  like taking drug type medicines, and wondered if there is an herbal choice I can use?

ANSWER: My personal favorites for nausea are a nice ginger and peppermint tea. If I'm traveling, I like to get the pickled ginger that they serve  with sushi ( you can find it in the grocery store in the international foods) and take that with me. I just nibble on a piece and it works wonders. Bon Voyage!
