Homeopathic remedies for motion sickness

Homeopathic remedies for car sickness. Cocculus Indicus and Tabacum.

​Do you have kids that get car sickness or are you dreading a flight or go on a boat ride because of motion sickness?
Motion sickness can be greatly be reduced with a few homeopathic remedies such as Coccolus Indicus of Tabacum.
​

Travel motion is a nuisance since the majority of us use a car at least once or so a day.  Can you imagine having to bring a spare plastic bag with you every-time you are going on a car trip? 

One of my girls tends to suffer from mild carsickness but she is a lucky person that her mum (aka: me)  is a homeopath! She rarely needs any acute carsickness remedies because she is treated constitutionally all year round!

Motion sickness is caused by repeated movements when we are travelling that send different signals to the brain from those we are seeing. Generally, the symptoms disappear when the movement stops.

But wouldn't it be great if you could rely on some natural small little white sugar tasty pills that help to reduce nausea?

​I have yet to meet a child that has ever refuse to take a homeopathic remedy! The opposite, mums tell me that their children cry after taking a remedy because they want to have more!

BEST HOMEOPATHIC REMEDIES FOR MOTION SICKNESS
​

COCCULUS30 You may be experiencing a lot of dizziness and nausea when watching the car, boat or plane moving. 

Feeling as if you were a bit tipsy or intoxicated.

The nausea is worse if you eat or drink, so you will find yourself refusing to put anything in your mouth!

 You may need to lay down to feel better.

PETROLEUM30 Dizziness is felt as if you were placed on a swinging object.

A headache felt mainly in the occiput may accompany the dizziness and a feeling as if the brain is wrapped in fog.

One interesting keynote about this remedy is the fact that you may feel better laying down but with your head up.

TABACUM30 This is for dizziness that comes with excessive and copious cold sweat and vomiting which is worse by having the eyes opened.

You may feel better after vomiting and having some fresh air, so you may want the window of the car opened or may need to get out of the car for a brief walk. If you are on a boat, you may want to go to the deck to breathe some fresh air.

BANERJI PROTOCOL TIP
For air sickness the Banerjis use 

• Sanguinaria 200 and
• Pulsatilla 30 when the ears are blocked.

​
​Take one dose of Sanguinaria before boarding and Pulsatilla 30 if there is pressure on the ears later on.

​NUX VOMICA30 This remedy is good if you are experiencing dizziness with a lot of nausea and you are also experiencing a headache with tension and pain in the forehead with it. 

The nausea is characteristic, there is a lot of retching, feeling like vomiting but actually not being sick. The more the retching and the less the vomiting, the more this remedy is indicated. You may find yourself saying "if only I could vomit"

You also may have a lot of saliva in your mouth while feeling sick and pain or pressure in the stomach as from cramps.

One very strong keynote of this remedy is the fact that the person feels worse by any smells so if your child is carsick and you are either smoking or eating in the car, he may tell you to put it away as the smell of it makes him sicker.
