Maple, I could be wrong, but I think Violin just told you to go suck a lemon...

but ask your doctor first maple, just because it's herbal doesn't mean it won't bother your liver or cause problems with other meds you are taking.

hope you find something that works for you!

Another successful means of preventing (and treating) motion sickness is ginger. Twenty minutes before you travel, mix a half teaspoon of ginger powder in a glass of water and drink it. Or take two capsules of powdered ginger. This ginger remedy has been tested and found more effective than Dramamine... and without any of the side effects (drowsiness, especially).

ok, im going for the ginger...

Oh, me father was the keeper of the eddystone light
Married a mermaid one fine night
From this union there came three
A porpoise and a porgy and the other was me

Yo ho ho.... the wind blows free,
oh for the life on the rooooooolling sea!


One day as I was a-trimmin' the glim
Humming a tune from the evening hymn
A voice from the starboard shouted, "Ahoy!"
And there was me mother a-sittin' on the buoy

Yo ho ho.... the wind blows free,
oh for the life on the rooooooolling sea!


"Oh what has become of me children three?"
Me mother she did ask of me
One was exhibited as a talking fish
And the other was served in a chafing dish

Yo ho ho.... the wind blows free,
oh for the life on the rooooooolling sea!


Then the phosporus flashed in her seaweed hair
And when I looked again, me mother wasn't there
But I heard her voice echoing back through the night:
"The devil take the keeper of the Eddystone light!"

Yo ho ho.... the wind blows free,
oh for the life on the rooooooolling sea!

What are you doing when you ride the ferry? Reading? If so, try looking out the windows at a horizon. The confusing messages from your eyes and middle ears cause the motion sickness.

I also strongly second twigs suggestion to check with your doctor before taking herbals. Some definitely cause liver damage.

Some things I recommend to ease the feeling of sea sickness:

air the diced carrots
launch throat missiles
blanch turkey
blow bile
yawn for the hearing impaired
belch the thunder-chunder rainbow parfait
toss cookies
spew chunks
splash your hash
sneeze cheeze
pop a gastric zit
fling pavement pizza
liquidate your assets
lateral cookie toss
kiss the can
horf it up
hack stew
fling floor pie
feed the houseplants
drain the main
dribble phlem
call ralph on the big white telephone
blow chowder
whistle beef
technicolor yodel
spit cheese
scream cookies
ride the regurge surge
lap lung butter
heave hamburger
hiccup from hell
scream liquid
decorate the sidewalk
hock bile

Do any or all of these things will make you feel better. At least temporarily. Trust me.

The other option is the Verrezano Narrows Bridge.
