Boiron MotionCalm | Motion Sickness Relief

MotionCalm is a homeopathic medicine for the nausea, vomiting and dizziness of motion sickness — in the car, on a boat, in the air, on amusement rides and from video games. The unflavoured meltaway tablets dissolve in the mouth without water, which matters when you are wedged in a middle seat. Each box holds 60 tablets and it suits adults and children from two years up.

How MotionCalm Works

Motion sickness is a cluster of symptoms, and they do not arrive the same way for everyone. So MotionCalm carries five homeopathic actives, each matched on the label to a different version of it: dizziness with the need to lie down, vomiting with a mouth full of saliva, a churning stomach, the queasiness that only fresh air fixes, the nausea that oddly improves once you eat something. All five are 4C dilutions, which means the plant and mineral sources on the label — tobacco and petroleum included — are present in vanishingly small amounts. It is non-drowsy, unlike most travel sickness tablets, and has no known drug interactions. You can take it the evening before you travel and again on the day, or wait until symptoms start.

Key Ingredients

Five actives, all at 4C, each mapped to a different form of travel sickness:

• Indian cockle — for nausea or vomiting that comes with dizziness and the need to lie down.
• Ipecac — for nausea and vomiting with a rush of saliva.
• Poison nut — for the upset stomach and indigestion behind the nausea.
• Tobacco — for dizziness, nausea and vomiting that ease when you get fresh air.
• Petroleum — for the nausea that lifts a little once you eat.
• Croscarmellose sodium, lactose and magnesium stearate — the tablet base. Gluten-free, with no artificial sweeteners, flavours, colours or preservatives.

Who It’s For

For families who dread the drive, anyone who has written off boats altogether, and children who go green on the school bus. Keep the box in the glovebox and a sleeve in your hand luggage.

Suggested Use

Adults and children 7 years and over: ahead of travel, dissolve 2 tablets in the mouth on the evening before and again on the day of travel. If symptoms have already started, dissolve 2 tablets and repeat if needed, up to three times a day. Children 2 to 6 years: dissolve 2 tablets in a tablespoon of water and follow the same timing. Under 2 years, ask your healthcare practitioner first.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will my child sleep through the whole trip? No — that is the main reason people choose it. MotionCalm is non-drowsy, so nobody arrives groggy.

How is this different from NauseaCalm? NauseaCalm has the identical formula — same five actives. It is labelled for nausea from any cause; MotionCalm is labelled for travel and adds the dose you take the evening before you leave.

Does it help with video-game or VR nausea? Yes, Boiron lists video games alongside travel and amusement rides on the label.

What if the dizziness happens when I am sitting still? Then it is worth looking further than travel sickness. Our article on what causes vertigo covers the usual suspects.
