Q. After a cruise, I was upset to find that solid ground felt like it was moving. This was very annoying, though it did not make me sick. A friend said ginger worked great for seasickness, so I sliced three pieces of ginger root into hot water and let it steep. The ginger tea made the ground stop moving that same day.
A. People often don’t anticipate that sensation of solid ground swaying beneath their feet after they have accustomed themselves to being on a boat. We’re glad to hear that ginger tea worked as well for that strange feeling as it does against actual sea-sickness.
