The term ‘motion sickness’ is divided into various sub-categories depending on the situation in which the symptom of nausea and vomiting occurs.

So, if you forget carrying mint candies or flavored chocolate while traveling, just press pericardium 6 point. This helps in relieving vomiting and sickness. This point is situated in the forearm close to a distance of two fingers below the crease of the wrist.
- Mint: – It is also an effective treatment for curing digestive problems. The mint produces a cooling effect in the stomach, eliminating all the digestive discomforts and curbing vomiting sensation. Therefore, carry some mint flavor candies while traveling.
