Motion tablet name – Are there Ayurvedic remedies for nausea, motion sickness, and travel discomfort? - #16840

I have always struggled with motion sickness, and it makes traveling extremely uncomfortable for me. Whether I am on a long car ride, a boat, or even a flight, I start feeling dizzy, nauseous, and lightheaded after just a short time. Sometimes, I also get cold sweats and headaches, making it impossible to enjoy traveling. I usually take a motion tablet to help prevent nausea before a trip, but I don’t like relying on medication all the time, especially since it makes me feel drowsy and sluggish for hours. Recently, I started looking into Ayurvedic alternatives for motion sickness, hoping to find something that works just as well as a motion tablet but without side effects. I have read that Ayurveda sees nausea, dizziness, and travel-related sickness as a Vata imbalance, since Vata governs movement in the body. Could this be the reason I feel so uneasy while traveling? Does Ayurveda have specific remedies to calm Vata and prevent motion sickness naturally? I came across some Ayurvedic herbs that are said to help with nausea, such as Ginger (Adrak), Cardamom (Elaichi), and Fennel (Saunf). I have heard that chewing ginger or drinking ginger tea before traveling can help settle the stomach—does this really work? Are there other herbal formulations or teas that I can take instead of a motion tablet? I also read that applying essential oils like Peppermint or Camphor under the nose can help prevent dizziness and nausea. Would this be effective for motion sickness? Are there specific Ayurvedic breathing techniques or acupressure points that help with nausea and dizziness while traveling? Another thing I am curious about is whether Ayurveda recommends dietary or lifestyle changes to reduce sensitivity to motion sickness in the long run. I noticed that when I eat heavy meals or oily foods before traveling, my symptoms seem worse. Would switching to a lighter, Vata-balancing diet help improve my overall tolerance for motion? I would love to hear from anyone who has successfully managed motion sickness using Ayurveda. Have you found an effective herbal alternative to a motion tablet? What worked best for you, and how long did it take to see improvement? I want to make my future travels more comfortable without having to rely on drowsy medications every time.
