There are medications, like Dramamine; or they have the wrist bands that push on the pressure point to minimize motion sickness. But there are no CURES.
To the person that said close your eyes or read a book -- that CONTRIBUTES to motion sickness. We get motion sickness whenever our eyes and ears are sending conflicting messages to the brain regarding movement. So as someone else said, it's better to look at something on the horizon because then your eyes put the perspective of your movement relative to the earth and relative to what the fluids in your inner ears are indicating.

Before you go anywhere that will give you motion related sickness get the little patch to put behind your ear. It works very well.. so well in fact that a lot of anesthesiologists use it to help combat nausea after a person comes out of surgery.

You don't say how old you are, but if you're young, chances are you'll eventually outgrow it. In the meantime, as others have already pointed out, drammamine is often effective in aleviating symptoms of motion-sickness.

Keep your eyes on a stationary object in the distance - the horizon if you're on a boat, or an area of land. Dramamine can prevent it if you take it before going on one of these trips. It's an "anti-emetic" - helps prevent vomiting.

There are many - but if you haven't tried it yet you should try eating some Ginger before you get onboard. You know - like the sliced pink stuff you get with Sushi? Try it...

buy over the counter medicine from Rite Aide and take it a few hours before you go on that boat ride or road trip.

I've heard ginger works well. From experience, Dramamine didn't work for me.
