• Try to improve your sensory congruence. This means having your senses in tune with one-another.

Lying down on a boat or fixing your gaze on the horizon while riding in a car can also help with that.
• Ginger is one of the few known natural remedies for motion sickness that actually works. You can use a few grams of ginger (by ingesting them) right before you start on your travels. Just make sure to consult your doctor in advance, If you need prescription blood thinners, since ginger can be detrimental in that case.  Ginger is one that comes recommended by driving school in Orange County and surrounding area instructors.
