Motion sickness research

This could be amazing....if there is more research carried out into it. Scientists at Imperial College in London have done some early trials on a small number of people. They say that if they use electricity to stimulate parts of the brain, they may be able to ease symptoms of motion sickness. A mild electrical current interferes with messages arriving from part of the ear controlling balance. There are also bands which you can wear which work on acupressure points to alleviate the nausea. Also, ginger which is great in crystallised form can help with nausea. A word of caution: Professor Chambers, Head of Brain Stimulation at Cardiff University says this "Until the findings are replicated in a large registered trial, I recommend that the public approach any claims about treatment benefits with a healthy scepticism."
