Queasy travellers: It’s lovely to visit family and friends during the holidays, but up to 19% of us can feel queasy when travelling in a bus or car.

Nelsons Travella is a combination of seven homeopathic remedies to help relieve the unpleasant symptoms of travel sickness, including nausea, sickness, dizziness and headaches.
