While travelling one time we faced a lot of turbulence and my daughter ( who up until then had no motion sickness ) started feeling queezy and then threw up . Can anyone suggest a medicine that I can give her to help her travel. ( she is 6 yrs old and would really not like taking a pill)

Try the standard abomine. in case you want to go the non-medicine way, try some lemon and orange candies to nibble for her while on the flight.

while traveling by boat, my two nieces (9 and 12 years old) have used successfully a kind of elastic wrist band with a half-ball made of wood. Apparently the half ball stimulates a pressure point on the bottom side of the wrist which has the effect of reducing/eliminating sea sickness. Not sure how much was the placebo/psychological effect in play, but the bottom line is that the have not thrown up for the duration of the boat ride for the first time in their lives!!

our nanny in the past was used to put a bunch of freshly cut parsley on her stomach for fighting car motion sickness.
