Ginger

Ginger is a natural remedy and taking frequent sips of ginger-ale helps to alleviate nausea.  Do note that if you are taking blood thinners or have a heart ailment, it’s best to speak with your doctor before consuming ginger.

Horizon

Looking at the stationary horizon helps in “tricking” the brain to recognise the stillness and transmit signals to your inner ear.  Your inner ear will then regain its balance and the seasick feeling dissipates.

Suck or Chew

Sucking or chewing foods can create saliva.  The production of the extra saliva helps in neutralizing acids in your stomach while reducing the nausea feel.  You can try apples or candies like lemon drops.
