Tip to avoid travel sickness : Ginger

A simple technique consists of swallowing a couple of ginger pills 1 or 2 hours before a long trip. 
This is not a medical advice, my family members with travel sickness simply do so and it works well in our mountainous Mediterranean country.
I still drive slowly on turns and downhill while the person with travel sickness sits on the front seat or the rear middle seat.
