Travel or motion sickness happens when the brain becomes confused due to receiving mixed messages. The brain perceives a mismatch between the feelings of movement from your balance center and the seeming stability of the environment from your eyes.
There are ways to alleviate travel sickness. Firstly look ahead outside the vehicle. This prevents the brain becoming confused because if you see the outside whilst you're traveling then the eyes and inner ears can both tag your experience as movement.

If possible look at the horizon or something in the distance. Stop regularly if you are traveling by car for fresh air and if you are traveling by ship get out on deck as much as possible and look to the horizon. You need as much input from your visual field as possible.

well, Eat before you travel; starting out with something in your tummy will help. If you do vomit, you'll at least be able to expel something besides stomach bile, which hurts (bad) as it comes through your throat by itself. If time permits, plug your nose before you throw up - keeps the vomit from clogging and paining your nostrils. And it keeps the smell of vomit out of your nose - that unlovely aroma can cause psychosomatic vomiting.

Once you're traveling in a car or bus or on a boat or train and motion sickness has struck, try these remedies:

Look at the horizon; focus on a distant point. If traveling by car, sit in a front seat - makes it easier to focus on the horizon and keep your eyes in tune with the motion of the car. Don't read - keep watching your horizon focal point. Roll down the window - fresh air helps. Stop often and get out and walk around: restores your sense of balance.

well tanveer Deep slow breathing: a cure for travel sickness

It is no coincidence that opening the window of a car when someone is feeling travel sick generally seems to alleviate their condition. Researchers at the Department of Psychology, The Pennsylvania State University, in the USA investigated the causes and effects of motion sickness and found that slow, deep breathing does indeed help reduce travel sickness.

is known to increase the activity of the parasympathetic nervous system and very often people suffering from car sickness feel better when the window is opened and they are able to breathe fresh air. it was considered this may prevent abnormal rhythm in the stomach and hence prevent symptoms of motion sickness.Forty six healthy men and women were each, in turn, put in a rotating optokinetic drum and all were found to be susceptible to motion sickness. They were then asked to count a slow deep breathing exercise during a sixteen minute period before going back in the drum. This time, however, the symptoms of motion sickness was significantly reduced.

The researchers concluded that, in those situations known to provoke stomach and motion sickness such as air, car and boat travel, slow, deep breathing exercises significantly decrease the onset of the stomach and motion symptoms, especially if the exercises are carried out before the situation likely to promote the motion sickness.
