Homeoprophylactic Dosing
Giving an indicated remedy a day or two before travelling can be used as a prophylactic (preventative). Choose a remedy that is reflective of the persons constitutional state.

What Is SeaSickness?
Motion sickness includes airsickness, carsickness and seasickness.  It is an acute condition that causes a feeling of nausea and malaise. It is usually accompanied by vomiting, headache and vertigo. It is caused by an over stimulation of the vestibular nerve in the inner ear which controls balance. The condition is usually brought about by motion that is accompanied by acceleration and deceleration. The body has a hard time keeping up with the continual changes brought on by the constant motion and movement.

Seasickness is common in children who are susceptible to the motions of riding in cars and boats. Once motion sickness starts,  the first symptom is usually nausea. This can be accompanied by sweats or chills, dizziness, hyperventilation, headache, anxiety, inability to concentrate and sometimes claustrophobia. Vomiting can be violent and prolonged leading to dehydration. Keeping the person hydrated is important to avoid a ore serious situation.
