I think the answer has been pretty well covered, but I’d like to add a remedy for nausea is smelling rubbing alcohol (isopropyl alcohol). You can use alcohol wipes (not bleach wipes!) or even hand sanitizer. It’s much faster than anti-nausea pills and is evidence-based to be very effective! I don’t think we understand the mechanism behind it, but it’s a good hack if you’re feeling nauseous, sea sick/car sick, etc.
