There are a number of remedies out there to ease motion sickness. Take a look at our top 5 remedies below including our ultimate favorite - tell us in the comments if these remedies work for you!

4. Nausea Relief Bands
Interesting enough, your wrists are one of the main points that controls nausea. Nausea relief bands are designed to provide pressure point to your wrist that continually eases nausea throughout the day. There are many options out there when it comes to Nausea Relief Bands, our favorite brands can be found on our Amazon Ultimate Motion Sickness Remedies List.

Peel and stick! It's as easy as that. Motion Sickness patches are placed behind your ear to release the relief that causes motion sickness into your body. One patch lasts up to 3 days and can work as quickly as 10 minutes after applying.

1: EmeTerm Anti-Nausea Wrist Band
When I was in my first trimester of pregnancy, I tried an EmeTerm Anti-Nausea Wrist Band. I was so surprised at the effectiveness! I also went on 2 cruises and found the band also is an incredible option for motion sickness at sea. The band is designed to provide electric pulses to your wrist. Although the band is more pricey than all other options, once you purchase it, you can use it over and over again! It sounds cheesy, but the band has seriously changed my motion sickness anxiety and I no longer need to feel the drowsy side effects of Dramamine. Check out our Amazon Storefront List for ease in finding this awesome product!
PROS: The band is rechargeable and can be used repeatedly. It has no side effects to your mood or drowsiness.
