'MotionEaze'- Anyone tried this? Update Post #39

[SDSorority]

Has anyone ever tried MotionEaze? They're drops you put behind your ears to ease motion sickness. I normally take Bonine, and actually started another thread about that earlier... but it makes me SO sleepy! I was looking at this product and it seems to have good reviews other than the smell. Well, I'm a hippie so weird herbal natural smells don't bother me .

Any advice? THANK YOU.

I'm curious too! I'm going on my first cruise in February and I want to be armed with whatever I can to prevent sea sickness. I'm going to ask my Naturopath about it. Given the ingredients she may be able to concoct a formula for me as well.

Hmmm, interesting!
I suffer from severe motion sickness and will be loading up on ginger pills, gum and think I'll try Bonine (usu. take Dramamine) for our trip. I may just get this stuff too and try it out!

I just ordered a bottle!! I just had to try it!!

Yeah I was going to get some of that Reed's Ginger Chews candy. I don't want to take Bonine this trip because there is artificial coloring and other yucky stuff in it. We don't take too many medications and eat mostly fruits and veggies, no processed stuff, so my body doesn't react well to meds. I'm hoping that this and the ginger will help!! I just saw that they sell it at walmart, too!

Please let me know what she says about it! I'm really interested to try it... I just hope it works!!!!

I bought Sea-Bands from Amazon for our last trip to Universal in February. I was actually surprised that they worked quite well. You wear one on each wrist. I was able to ride all of the rides that usually make me sick (the virtual rides-where you watch the screen and the car that you're in moves-which is about 1/2 the rides at Universal). I think they ran about $15.

I too bought Seabands for our trip to USF in January and found them to be totally ineffective. I also tried ginger gum and felt no difference.

Bonine and less-drowsy dramamine (meclizine) work for me but leave me feeling totally wiped-out by early afternoon. I have also tried scopolamine (Transderm Scop patch) and although I didn't feel motion sick, I didn't feel like doing much of anything.

The MotionEaze site says it's Lavender, Peppermint, Birch, Frankincense, Chamomile, Myrrh and Ylang Ylang.

Sounds like it must have been made by some "wise men"

I too, would like to hear of anyone who found this to work.

I have Sea Bands too, for many many years, and they don't do much.

My mom and I tried the scopalamine patches once and we felt doped up on them!

I wish I didn't inherit my mom's motion sickness! lol

I know, but at this point, I'm willing to try it! Bonine knocks me out and I feel like I don't have as good of a time as I could because I'm walking around like a zombie, and I get grumpy and snappy and irritable at DH and that makes for a bad trip for him as well!

This is what the website says about how it works: "Motion Sickness is caused by the motion associated with travel by ship, air or car, or any activity that is accompanied by irregular motion. When a susceptible person is exposed to an adequate amount of accelerated stress (motion), symptoms may occur. Such symptoms may include nausea, sweating, salivation and drowsiness. Motion sickness begins in the inner ear. This causes fluid changes in the semicircular canals of the inner ear, making it unable to maintain a state of equilibrium. When MotionEaze oil is applied just behind each ear lobe, the oil is absorbed through the skin. The active ingredients travel to, and calm the inner ear, in turn calming the symptoms."

Yes, I used MotionEaze last year and it worked miracles for me. I rode everything at Universal and Tea Cups and Primeval Whirl at Disney with no side effects.

I bought some at Wal-mart for my DD for carsickness. She says it works. Whether it is a placebo effect or not, who knows, but so far so good. It smells like peppermint and pine. I keep it in my purse so now it has a faint smell of it all the time! She is not a medicine taker so was quite willing to try a non-pill alternative. We put it on before car rides of an hour or more.

Is it with the vitamins? I'm interested in it for my son. He gets car sick on long rides.

Somewhere in the health/pharmacy department. I don't remember exactly what other types of things it was with, besides the dramamine.

I am so glad to hear you say that! How often did you use it? Before every ride? I see myself standing in line rubbing this all over my head hahaha.

...maybe just before the big rides...

I never got sick as a child and teen, but get sick on almost anything that moves now as an adult.

I discovered this a year or so ago and can ride anything and not get ill.

The biggest test I did was a ride called Howler at Hersheypark. I rode this once with my son at the beginning of the year when not using it and made a straight line to the garbage can to have my , well you get the picture.

But, after I found it and applied a dose I went on with my son and not only did I survive the spinning ride, I was spinning the car as fast as I could in the direction of the ride spin making is a double whammy. I got off the ride with no ill-effects, not one bit of nausea and my son who never feels sick on anything looking kind of green and the boy's mother not too please. I then proceeded to ride the Fahrenheit coaster 3 times and tada, still no bad feelings. I have purchased a few bottles at Walmart and always have one with me when I go to any park.

Since I started using it, I have ridden all types of rides from simulators, to coaster to spinning rides and never once gotten sick. I am a firm believer in the product and will recommend it to anyone who experiences motion sickness.

High praise indeed!!! I just had to order a bottle after reading your rave review!! I'll post back and let you know how it worked for me.

True test: someone who gets easily sick using this and riding Mission Space: Orange. I braved green & was okay but orange would kill me.
