There's no cure for sea sickness once it strikes, but there are measures you can take to prevent it from happening or to relieve it.
Take travel sickness pills half an hour before you start your journey. Check with your doctor or chemist that any medication you are already taking is compatible.
Don't drink alcohol and don't travel on an empty stomach. Eat bland, easily digestible food.
Try and keep yourself occupied by talking, playing games or listening to music.
Go up on deck if possible. Fresh cool air and wind help to reduce nausea.
Try eating crystallised ginger it settles the stomach.
You can buy wrist bands with a little knob that presses on a point on the inside of the wrist just above the hand. These are said to be based on Chinese methods of treating illness by using pressure points. They are available from chemists.
