A woman who suffers from motion sickness has taken to social media to share a tip that she claimed helps her with the nauseating symptoms.
According to her inventive solution, she totes a plastic bag filled with lemon juice during her extended journeys.
Motion sickness, characterized by dizziness or nausea during travel by car, boat, plane, or train, can be particularly challenging for some people.
Darcy McQueeny generously shared her ingenious remedy in a TikTok video for the world to discover.
While in transit, she elevates the bag to her nose, taking periodic sniffs of its lemony contents.

Another user asked: “Why wouldn’t u put it in a little bottle tho?”
“Girlie we need to get you a lemon essential oil bottle, so it’s more easier to sniff the plastic bag sending me though,” (sic) wrote a third.
For those seeking more conventional remedies, the NHS recommends the use of tablets, patches, or acupressure bands to alleviate motion sickness.
Opting out of activities like reading, watching films, or using devices during travel is advisable to minimise motion sickness.
Additionally, steering clear of spicy foods, alcohol, and heavy meals before embarking on a journey is recommended, as they can exacerbate symptoms.
