This morning, a message arrived touting an aroma-therapy product called QueaseEASE.

"QueaseEASE is very easy to use," the press release claims. "Simply remove the cap, take a few deep breaths of the pleasantly scented aromatic vapor at the first sign of nausea or queasiness, and then replace the cap. It can be repeated as often as necessary without any side effects regardless of age or medical condition and it only takes a few deep breaths for immediate relief.

"The unique patent-pending blend of the pure essential oils of peppermint, lavender, ginger and spearmint are packed into the small handheld container designed for safety, ease of use and portability. QueaseEASE was formulated and developed by Wendy Nichols, a Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, to calm the queasiness associated with surgery and anesthesia. She later discovered that it was also beneficial for calming motion sickness, morning sickness and chemotherapy related nausea."

Acupuncture is the only seasickness treatment that has worked for me, but I'm going to try QuaeseEASE -- if I can find it -- this weekend on a ferry.
