I have overcome nausea a number of times by holding a clove in my mouth.
I'm not sure what motion sickness is, but if it means you have nausea,
you might want to try holding a whole clove in your mouth and gently
sucking on it while you massage it with your teeth.  The idea is that
you not chew or eat the clove, but try to hold it in your mouth as long
as possible.  Eventually the clove will become very soft and bland; at 
which point you can either spit it out or eat it.

This is a home remedy and has no scientific basis.  You can buy whole
cloves in the spice section of your grocery store.

Good Luck!
