* A very effective way to prevent and overcome motion sickness is by taking over-the-counter medicines like Dramamine, Bonine or Antivert.

* Reduce the amount of food or drinks taken on or before travelling. Avoid alcoholic drinks, spicy, and fatty foods. This will just worsen motion sickness to some people.

* Choose a seat wherein you will experience minimal motion. If you’re in a car, sit in the front seat; in a bus, choose the front row; in an airplane, the middle area; in the ship, lower cabin near the center.

* Avoid reading while travelling.

* Open a vent or a window if possible so you could have a source of fresh air.

* If someone is suffering from motion sickness, try to isolate yourself from that area. The tendency is that it can make you sick as well just by hearing or seeing others feel sick.
