The best treatment for travel sickness is to prevent it - since once one develops the full symptoms, drugs will be of virtually no use. To minimize the symptoms after they occur, try breathing in fresh air - going out on deck on the ship, or opening the car windows. Avoid cigarette smoke and food smells, since these aggravate nausea. When traveling on land, as in a car or train, face in the direction of travel and fix your gaze on the road ahead or close your eyes. Reading in a moving vehicle should be avoided.
Often, repeated exposure to the motion which brings on travel sickness helps one's body to adjust and in a sense immunizes it so that one's symptoms are minimized. However, there are experienced sailors who never get over their sea-sickness! There are several drugs that can help prevent travel sickness but they must be taken before one sets out, since they almost always have no effect once symptoms come on.
Travel Sickness Remedies #1
The most effective drug to prevent travel sickness is Hyoscine (also called Scopolamine). It can have side effects such as drowsiness, blurred vision, dryness of the mouth and retention of urine but these are generally not prominent with the doses employed. A tablet of 300 microgrammes is taken approximately half an hour before commencing the journey; the dose may be repeated in six to eight hours if necessary. Children require smaller doses; a quarter tablet from two to five years, and a half tablet from five to ten years.
Travel Sickness Remedies #2
Recently, a convenient method of taking Hyoscine has become available. The drug is incorporated in a small adhesive dressing (like a piece of sticking plaster) that can be pasted on to the skin behind the ear; this allows a small, steady dose of the drug to be absorbed through the skin into the bloodstream over a period of 72 hours. The patch is applied about six hours before commencing the journey - and delivers enough medication to last a three day period. One word of caution though Hyoscine should not be used by pregnant women, or those suffering from prostate problems or glaucoma. Other drugs such as the antihistamines Cinnarizine, Cyclizine, Promethazine and Dimenhydrate are also used in preventing travel sickness especially in those who find the side effects of Hyoscine unpleasant.
Travel Sickness Remedies – What Should You Know?
All these drugs can be quite effective but it must be admitted that there is no 100%effective way of preventing travel sickness. Unless, of course, one confines oneself to traveling only on one's own two feet!

Chakra Balancing & Reiki with Nina Samuel- Camps
A little while ago I went to see an old friend of mine Nina Samuel Camps who I met whilst DJing at some events she was looking after in her past life as a PR director. A couple of years ago Nina decided to take herself off around the world for a year and she came back as a fully qualified Reiki Master.
This is no easy thing and is an amazing achievement. Nina has some truly fascinating stories and knowledge that she has gathered on her travels from all over the far east.
I'm very interested in all sorts of non- conventional health treatments as I had years of being stuffed full of anti- biotics by doctors for kidney problems and I don't think this is good for anyone.
So I embrace all these experiences from Bikram to Reiki, acupuncture and homeopathy.
Nina studied with one of India's leading Masters and was taught how to remove the blocked energy from chakra's and then re-energise the area.
At this point I have to admit I don't fully understand what chakra's are, or I didn't until it ws explained to me properly. I know Bikram Yoga is good for them and I always feel amazing after a Bikram class, so I was looking forward to more of that :)
Nina explained to me that everyone has chakras - there are seven, running from the base of the spine to the top of the head. They relate to the different organs in your body as well as emotions.
'The crux of unblocking Chakra's is it actually makes a significant difference to the effect of the treatment so you can really feel the benefits ie calmer, more clarity, peace of mind'. Nina said.
She went on to explain 'We cannot avoid coming into contact with negative energy or feeling down sometimes, but there is a lot that we can do to change our feelings from
negative to positive and to protect ourselves from harmful energy in the
environment'
I had an hour's treatment with Nina who made me feel instantly relaxed, I in fact was so relaxed afterwards that I could have had a lovely sleep. Without going into too much detail I had quite allot of blocked energy apparently!- what a surprise- and some issues..(again surprise) lol There was a crazy sensation of buzzing energy and I saw lots of crazy colours and things flashing through my mind. Apparently this is normal. There were also things that Nina felt and told me that were spookily correct about past experiences and people.
After my treatment I felt a weird sensation of happiness and no road rage driving home- unheard of!- I slept better than I had in weeks and I have been since.
I would say if you are tired, feel a bit down, unhappy or stressed out give Chakra Balancing a go. Nina is a really interesting and knowledgeable in this field and makes it all a very easy pleasurable experience. She is also completely fascinating!
The lovely Nina Samuel- Camps

This looks wicked! If you are in the South East, get down to the DE LA WARR Pavillion to see this!
The Heritage Orchestra feat DJ Switch, Beardyman & Gabriel Prokoviev at The De La Warr Pavillion, HastingsThe Heritage Orchestra are a uniquely placed group of forward-thinking musicians and composers. Their collaborative approach and modern production values has set them on a new path that bridges the worlds of mainstream, cult, experimental and popular art and music. Over the coming months The Heritage Orchestra and De La Warr Pavilion are due to embark on a new residency, collaborating together on a number of musical projects. This event marks the launch of this union and features a number of special guests. (Sat 14th November 09)
Heritage Orchestra feat. DJ Switch in Gabriel Prokofiev's Concerto for Turntables & Orchestra
DJ Switch
As a four time national DJ battle champion, and current world champion, his shows contain a repertoire of visual tricks so quick you'd think he was stuck on fast-forward. With technical skill that leaves half the crowd with their jaws hanging, and a musical selection that keeps the other half dancing, don’t miss your chance to catch DJ Switch.
Gabriel Prokofiev
Grandson of Russian composer and founder of record label Nonclassical, Prokofiev junior is a force to be reckoned with. On a mission to break-down and repackage classical music for new audiences, this eclectic composer has worked on numerous underground dance music projects as well as producing his own hip hop and electro remixes.
Beardyman
World class solo human beatbox, Beardyman uses his voice and live synths, driven through cutting-edge sound technology to create dance-inducing layered rhythms. Fully produced songs, often totally improvised and all created entirely from scratch make for truly breath taking soundscapes.
PS: WATCH THIS FILM BELOW- ITS WICKED!
This looks like a great event, really fun and a way to get people engaged with classical musical instruments but in a totally bang up to date sound. I love it. Plus Hastings is only 60miles from London (1-1/2hrs drive) well worth it for such a unique night out...
