'Peppermint has stood the test of time. It's safe, it's easy to find and it works for adults and children. 'A lozenge or mint sweet can help too, but tea is the best option because it keeps you hydrated and the smell alone helps people feel less queasy.'"
"Drinking peppermint tea is a great alternative to other expensive medications that can come with side effects. A box of 40 peppermint tea bags costs just £1.60 from Tesco - that's 4p per bag. They are also often provided for free in hotel rooms and at breakfast buffets. You can carry a couple of peppermint tea bags in your carry-on bag and ask for a cup of hot water on the plane."
