The ABC Homeopathy Forum
Carsick 1 year old
I have a 1 year old baby boy, who has recently been getting car sick. Unfortunately, driving is something we cannot avoid. He even gets sick on very short 10 minute trips. I want to try homeopathic remedies to hopefully prevent sickness and relax him as well. We will be travelling at the end of October by plane and after the flight a 2 hour car ride. I have been doing some research and have found a few remedies but I am not quite sure how to dose or administer them. I have found Nux Vomica & Chamomilla. I would like to find something for the sickness that I would be able to use quite frequently and also a remedy during travelling that can help relax him and help with motion sickness during our journey. I have also reading about essential oils, so thats also something I would be willing to use as well. Can you help me?jamiemarie on 2014-10-09

I am unable to find a remedy unless detailed answers are provided.
Short answers such as Yes/No/Normal are not helpful.
I want answers which explain the What, When, Where, Why, Better by & Worse by.
Example: I have a sore throat (it explains the what), since 3 days (it explains when), on the left side of my throat (explains where), due to eating sour food (explains why), the pain is better when I drink warm tea (explains Better by), the pain is worse when I swallow food (explains worse by)

I'm sorry I thought I had. Ok he is a 1 year old who, within the last week has started getting carsick. It can be a short ride of 10 minutes. He will get really quiet and pale and then vomit. He will continue to vomit the entire car ride. Once we get off the car he is perfectly fine. I haven't found anything that makes it better and this is all of a sudden because he has never been sick before.
