Motion Eaze

[deena26]

I know this topic has been beaten to death, this is my last chance at self reassurance (haha) has anyone tried this motion sickness 'remedy' and had good results? Got my bonine, and ginger, and threw some of this in as well. Anyone swear by it?? I guess if it was that good everyone would be talking about it..

I have used it for my last few cruises. Does not smell very good but IMO it works

I wear the wrist bands and they seem to work for me. $7 or $8 at Target, CVS, Walgreens, etc.

My wife swears by Bonine. She has had some serious bouts with seasickness and Bonine always works great for her. Even in the 20 foot seas going out of San Francisco..... And it's a drug that she can take when she starts to feel the seasickness coming on. She doesn't take it as a precaution, just when needed.

 

I know this thread was about the other stuff, but just wanted you to get another testimonial for Bonine.

Bonine... the morning I step on the ship and the 1st night...possibly the second.. also Ginger pills in the AM\ if the seas are rough. With me its usually a combination of nerves, rich food, and the first day of rocking that can set me off. By the end of the 2nd day, I'm fine.

 

 

cheapest insurance policy out there to ensure a good cruise!!

For our two cruises, I've used a product put out by Boiron Laboratories. It's 'natural' in it's approach. Called Cocculus Indicus or Cocculine. Works VERY well. Small pellets that you let dissolve under your tongue. First cruise, I didn't take it til I was feeling woozy, took a couple of doses to feel the effects. Our second cruise, I started taking it the day before and had no problems at all. Even ran out a few days before the cruises end, and had no problems.

 

This product is available at our local grocery store - not sure where you can get it in your area - health food store possibly? Price is VERY reasonable as well...with no negative side effects.

 

Hope this helps you.

We used the MotionEase on our transatlantic cruise last year. I was skeptical but it worked great.

Is it suggested for children? Bonine I believe is not for children, although my DD is over 80lbs so not sure if she can take it. Does anybody know? Dramamine makes her drowsy, I would hate for her to be drowsy on vacation.

I have used motion eze several times and swear by it. Can use it as much or as little as needed, and have never had any issues using it.

There is a childrens version I believe...my suggestion would be to do some comparisions of products, see how the childrens product differs...it could be a matter of dosing, and it is possible that at 80lbs, she may be on the 'take two childrens'..which would be the equivalent of an adult dose.

Sometimes I think its the adults that have more of an issue than the kids.....

There was a thread a while ago (as there often is) on seasickness remedies -and many were great fans of motion eaze! I think it's worth a try!
