Interesting home remedy for motion sickness

scotttie · ‎03-09-2010

I never heard of this before, but as someone who suffers from motion sickness I may give it a try. It was a reader of "Annie's Mailbox" who submitted the method.

He said he heard of putting an aspirin in your belly button and putting a piece of tape over it. He said he tried it and it worked. He said he found you don't even have to use the aspirin, just the tape. "Annie" said an internet search turned up a great many people who do swear by this method.

What the heck it can't hurt so I may try it the next time I have a need!

Hi scottie..

This certainly is the most different method I've ever heard of to stop motion sickness. I wonder what the theory is behind it. Like you said, it can't hurt.

I hope it works for you sylvia. The writer said that he had previously tried the various remedies including patches. Nothing helped him before this.

Oh heck, if you want to get silly, you can put a band aid over one behind your ear as well.

Looks like somebody got up on the wrong side of the bed this morning. Anything nice to say today?

Yeah. I have no idea and of course I'm as skeptical as anyone else. But I figure what the heck give it a shot!
