Travel sickness plagues more than half of children on a regular basis and most of us will suffer at some point of our lives.
While there are medicines available that can help treat the condition, herbal treatments are growing in popularity as many of us now choose to take natural remedies to combat minor aliments.
Despite their increasing popularity, one in five of us admit that we are unsure what natural remedies work best for which complaints. The latest research suggests that ginger can reduce the incidence of motion sickness by over two thirds, yet a lack of awareness means that people may be suffering unnecessarily, especially with an estimated 40 billion journeys being made each year.
British Travel Week 2010 partner Fentimans' Traditional Ginger Beer contains the equivalent of 247 mg of ginger per 275ml bottle, which is the equivalent dosage used by clinicians to test the preventative effects of ginger against nausea and vomiting. More information on Fentimans Ginger Beer is available on their website.
