Our top tips for a calm journey
There are many preventative measures you can take to avoid motion sickness, including:
- During motion, look at the horizon or a distant, stationary object
- Sit in the front seat of the car during car rides and keep your eyes on the road as if you were driving
- Sit in the centre of a ship or the front edge of the wing on a plane, where there is the least amount of motion
- Take a turn driving – you are less likely to get motion sickness when you are driving
- Try closing your eyes to eliminate sensory confusion
- Avoid alcohol for 24 hours before travelling and during the trip
- Make sure you have plenty of fresh air
- Always face the direction of travel
- If travelling on a bus or train, sit in a forward facing seat
- Avoid reading or looking at a screen
- Take a motion sickness medication before you start your journey, like a TravaCalm product
Motion sickness occurs when your senses send you conflicting messages. Whether you’re in a car, on a boat, or in a plane during turbulence, your body can tell that you’re moving, but your eyes tell a different story.
The inner ears, which are responsible for your balance, send messages to the brain telling it that the body is physically moving, meanwhile the eyes send messages that the body is stationary. This conflicting information may cause unpleasant motion sickness symptoms.
Take the first dose 30 minutes before departure to prevent motion sickness.
If you suffer from motion sickness, or think that you might experience motion sickness, it’s best to take TravaCalm Original or another TravaCalm product prior to travel, as it is generally more effective to prevent motion sickness before it starts. If you wait until you start feeling sick, you may lose the contents of your stomach – including your TravaCalm Original – before it has a chance to work.
All TravaCalm products can be used by children, but the age suitability between products varies:
- TravaCalm Original can be given to children 4 years of age and older.

- TravaCalm Ginger can be given to children 6 years of age and older.

We know that some people, especially children, have trouble swallowing tablets, which is why three products in the TravaCalm range are suitable for people who have difficulty swallowing tablets.
- TravaCalm H.O Chewable can be swallowed or chewed, and can be given to adults and children aged 8 years and older.
- TravaCalm Original can be crushed and mixed with water, jam or honey before giving to young children or people who have difficulty swallowing tablets. It can be given to adults and children aged 4 years and older.
