While this method may or may not work, there is one proven great use for ginger root. You can get pills of ginger root at your local store (vitamin section). Ginger root has been proven to be great at curbing motion sickness. I was on a cruise in Mexico and took a day fishing trip with 4' waves all day long rocking the boat. We took some ginger root and the motion sickness was very minimal. The people that told us about it said they got the idea from a Myth Busters show where they tested all of the usual motion sickness remedies. Ginger Root came out on top as the most effective, followed by the little patch behind your ear. AFTER those came the usual over-the-counter pills. Somewhere near the back of the pack were the bracelets.
It worked great for me. I now have a big bottle I take along when I am going to spend a day on the boat and there are likely to be waves all day.
