I’ve been really impressed with the ginger gum. I have a history of motion sickness made much worse recently by some medications I’m taking, and I was facing a 10 hr car ride with much trepidation. My doctor prescribed an Rx for nausea relief, but I ended up not even needing it. I had my pressure point wristbands on as usual and chewed the ginger gum for most of the ride, and I was good – not reading in the car or anything crazy like that, but OK. In general, I really don’t like ginger, and have been unable to tolerate ginger chews, but this was ok – I even started to like it, and now I chew it every time I get in the car. I actually wish the flavor would last longer. I could definitely see how some kids might find it too strong, but my 10 yr old nephew tried it when he felt sick on a ferry recently, and he asked for it again before we got on the boat on the way back. I was surprised, but anyone who has issues with motion sickness knows that if it works, it’s worth just about anything.
I’ve suffered from motion sickness as far back as I can remember. For years I have taken ginger root capsules before any trip longer than 20 min if someone else is driving. I saw these in a pharmacy last year (it seems they are no longer available locally) and decided to give them a try. They work for me. Also, my younger child suffers from motion sickness. He can’t swallow capsules yet, but this gum works for him. It does have a strong, spicy flavor, (having some water at hand helps) but it goes away in a few minutes of chewing. My son asks for it because it works.

My wife used this on her sea voyage to Antactica, while crossing the infamous Drake Passage. She wasn’t sea sick!
